Okay, I know it’s appalling that I keep forgetting this place exists (tbf I’ve had some really weird as shit interactions with randoms last time I tried) and that it took @LauraLangdon to remind me that THIS is where all the OSS/FOSS people hang out. But here I am now. And maybe it’ll stick this time.

Not much has changed and yet everything has changed. @finnporter and I moved to Galicia in Spain about 4 months or so ago. We’re loving it so far. I think we’ve just been lucky with the weather this year because it’s nowhere near as hot as I feared. The beach is a 7 minute walk from our flat. And because it’s the Atlantic it’s also nice and chilly, which I’m delighted by.

Chronic health stuff has… not been too great, but the Spanish healthcare system seems to actually be one of the few still functional ones, at least here in Galicia. So I’m waiting for referrals to an allergist for MCAS dx and probably to internal medicine for potential hEDS dx. Not thrilled I likely have these conditions but at least I may actually get to access care for them. I’m still too medically traumatised to actually believe it lol but so far everyone in the medical field here has been pretty great. Also, being trans is absolutely zero trouble here which is a delightful change for us.

I’m keen to connect to some covid conscious folks in Northern Spain if there are any around since it’s hard to make friends. Oh and we’re also looking for frontend devs for our volunteer open-source tech team at Distribute Aid. But I’ll just post about that separately so it’s easy to boost 😊

Alright, I guess it’s good to be back. Hopefully I’ll stick around this time.
