I started out as @monkeyninja and eventually decided I wanted to run my own Mastodon instance, so here we are. I'm a dad, devoted husband to @oceanic, Site Reliability Engineer turned SRE Manager, GenX geek, #ActuallyAutistic, #Jewish and wishing Israel would just stop fucking murdering people for like 30 seconds. Level 3 Goth who took multiple levels in Druid and a few in Barbarian. If you're any form of bigot, fascist, or fascist-enabler, I will plant a tree in your ashes and listen to Peter Murphy while I do it.

I write about navigating life in #chronicpain, #technology, #bigotry, #ttrpg, #politics, and occasionally I'll share some of my #recipes. Will sometimes share #vegan recipes but not Vegan myself as my body does not do well on a vegan diet and endocrinologists are fucking expensive.

Final Fantasy XIV player, Brynhildr on the Crystal data center.

My kiddo is "The Zergling." I want them to have anonymity and I want them to feel that if what they were assigned at birth doesn't fit as they get older that they have choices. So until they're old enough to decide who they are and the extent they want their life online, you'll never see me post a photo of them and unless I slip up, you'll never see me post their gender.

Profile photo is a wall-eyed, cartoon pigeon looking frazzled, holding a mug of coffee and wearing a white t-shirt with "devops" printed across the front of it.

Header is a clip from the comic "Crow Time" by Secondlina_Isa. It is a white background with a cartoon pigeon in the center, its head poking through the middle of a slice of toast with the caption "Existential Bread" on it.
