Meow, I'm a cat.
For clarification I'm not a furry, I'm a cat :blobCat_evil:​

Important: if one of my posts is factually incorrect, or I have a typo, or broken formatting, or *anything* about that post needs fixing: TELL ME. Unless it's CW'd as "shitpost". Thank you :3

I'm usually very exhausted in general and low-energy, so expect a lot of boosts of images/drawings I find cute, may include some boosted NSFW content behind appropriate content warnings.
I won't boost anything that is missing obvious content warnings or alt-text tho.
If you need a handy guide on useful content warnings, at the bottom of this page.
I generally fav a lot and often use it more as a read-receipt than anything else, in case you were wondering.
Considering this instance supports it (and has the best damn emote set ever) I'll extensively use reactions even if your instance doesn't support it.… you're missing out, sorry.

I identify as gendervoid* :agender_flag:​ and demi :demisexual_flag:​ and it feels like well over ¾ of my entire bubble are trans :blahaj_holding_trans_flag: ​so expect a bunch of queer content too.

The rest is mostly me saying things about either mental health or tech, most often the latter one considering my diverse background in incident handling as a sysadmin (I use Gentoo and OpenBSD btw), my work on automation stuff (Puppet and Ansible mostly), networking (IPv6, BGP, and OSPF), coding (Rust, Shell, and low-level messing around with syscalls in C), and the occasional praise of GDPR and copyleft licensing.

Post-visibility and following:

I usually post public, you're free to boost/share/whatever (avoid screenshots for accessibility).
When I post unlisted it's probably to avoid it showing up in the federated timeline because I don't want to bother anyone, you're free to boost/share/whatever.
Followers-only content is done to avoid people close but not too close to me seeing content I don't want them to see, which is why I accept almost all follow requests (unless you're an obvious bot or right-wing nutjob); no boosts, feel free to share with people though, unless they know me irl, then be tiptoey about it.
Lastly DMs; just don't share them unless you specifically got permission from *everyone* involved. Thanks.

Here's the promised list of content warnings that I pay attention to:

- nsfw: if it's NSFW use this tag, and *add* others as needed, this is the catch-all for most people out there, and I may look at or even boost these posts
- alcohol: put that tag in there if artwork shows alcohol even if it's just a bottle standing around or you're talking about the consumption, I will then ignore that post entirely as if it didn't exist, thank you
- smoking: see alcohol
- politics: for when you talk about politics
- mh: mental health, optionally followed by a number of minus or plus signs to indicate direction (e.g. mh- for posts about negative mental health, mh++ for posts about very positive mental health)
- ph: physical health, like mental health (i.e. optionally ph+ or ph-)
