Fresh new instance, fresh new #introduction time.

I'm Erin, yet another autistic transgender anarchist from so-called Portland, Oregon. I used to have fancy tech jobs with titles like "Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer" until I burnt out, got laid off, and discovered that the tech industry was done with me. Nowadays I survive on a very part-time gig as a general technologist and some freelance tech work when I can find it. My part-time gig is unionized through the IWW, of which I am a proud member. I've been on fedi under various names and handles since GNU Social was the cool new thing.

My special interests include Cybersecurity, Casio watches, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy XIV, the Indieweb, Linux, old ThinkPads, XMPP, Yuri Anime and Manga, and stuffed sharks.

Come listen to another cozy Elder Scrolls reading~
This one is a short little story told from the perspective of a priestess of Dibella

Succubard Gently Reads [Dibella's Mysteries and Revelations]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoawUAZR6_U

It feels odd to have a story so true to what Dibella stands for yet also disconnected from the worldly affairs that are usually considered "lore". Even [Night Falls On Sentinel] wasn't quite this oblivious to wider events, but I think that's also part of its charm.

I also do live readings a few times a week over on Twitch (alongside Youtube) if that's more your thing

boost to help me survive

This time, we're headed off the topic of Oblivion and onto...oh, the effects of one of the Daedric princes of Oblivion on Tamrielic goings-on?

Succubard Gently Reads: [The Brothers of Darkness]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ta3DgLgY4A

Yup, it's the dark brotherhood, a group that stems from an earlier group who was born of a worship for Mephala The Dark Brotherhood quest-line is, as I hear it, a lot of people's favourites when it comes to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, from the way it's introduced to how it plays out, and it's often used as a barometer to measure other quest-lines up against, both in Oblivion and in other TES games.

Hopefully, you enjoy getting a bit of a look into the history of the organisation~

This recording was honestly frustrating as hell to get recorded because of environmental factors leading to somewhere between 30+ discarded takes, but it was worth it, and I can't wait until tomorrow comes so I can work on the next one Thank you all for supporting me so far, and I hope you like the reading~

How are we meant to survive in a Wasteland of capitalism and patriarchal control?

My new book "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland" tries to answer that question honestly. It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.

Ich frage mich, ob das coolste an der #FOSSGIS2025 in #Muenster die ausgezeichneten Vorträge waren oder diese genialen, trans*-farbenen #OSM-Sticker, die ich am OSM-Stand ergattern konnte.

Hi! New instance, new pinned post.

Send me cool people to follow (or introduce yourself!)

- leftists
- functional programmers, 'spcly #OCaml folks
- #Queer mfers, #BDSM, or #polyamory
- fans of #SystemicGames (#Factorio, #RimWorld, and the like)

come @ me

Fedi, give me your cool #sticker shops please!

(it can be for absolutely everything but I'm looking more into #computer and #queer ones)

Boosts highly appreciated for more reach

To be crystal-clear:
Topics like #TransRights #Trans #Gender #Queer are no afterthoughts, they are the foundation of the whole endeavor.

#SafeguardingResearch started with me (@lavaeolus) cloning GitHub-repos of 'Mapping the Gay Guides' (with their consent) on January 15th.
After that, I asked my buddy @micr0 to write a scraper for academia.edu, inspired by @bookandswordblog, to download as many things mentioning #transgender #nonbinary #intersex #queer etc. as possible.

The rest is history.
