I guess it's another intro time:

Hi, call me Haf. She/her pronouns, please. I'm Chicana, queer, cis and partnered.

I live in the northwestern US, where I work at a startup I co-founded that aims to reduce the cost (both environmental and monetary) of solar panel production and make solar farms possible across the US and beyond.

I write a ton of spec fic and am pretty bad about consistently using capitalization.

I know a little about a lot. Nice to meet y'all.

You gallop across the grassy plains of Selador.
The twice-mooned sky shines the path forward.
There is nothing behind you.
If you fail, there never will be.
You are the last unicorn.

May we please revive hashtagging interests in #introductions? I feel for the newcomers to the #fediverse who aren't told that only the #hashtagged words and phrases are #searchable, unlike #Twitter.
They'd have instant magic of connection with the trick of hashtagging their interests, like so:
#coffee #OnlyConnect #ACIM
#fountainpens #geocaching
#learnpython #commandline
#CentralEuropeanFood
#ADHD #geocaching #snailmail
#letterwriting #silentmovies #silentfilm #reading #mysteries #linux

I'm still proud of this subverted Gadsden flag I made a while back. I'd like to put a sticker of it on my laptop but I'm afraid it'll be mistaken for the real thing.

What else do you call it than an attempt at cultural genocide when your people's highest literature is grabbed by the dominant world power, forced out of the context of your people's lives and experiences, and repurposed as a propaganda tool to violently attack your people?

I can never remember if biathlon means

🍍 Twice per athlon
🍍 Once per two athlons, or
🍍 Attracted to two or more athlons

Can we properly define the deviance? 🐟​

Consider supporting me on #patreon? You get access to all my ebooks and thrice-weekly updates (including cute videos of Merlin).

This month is a bit different as it's #NaNoWriMo so you get to read snippets of my normally *extremely private* first draft.

I'm trying to reach my first goal of $20 per month. And you get everything I have to offer for only $1 per month.

Maybe take a look and see what you think?

ok bye

Begging a fictional lady to step on you: okay, they are not real, would probably do it if you asked, depending

Begging a lady you just met to step on you: stop! 🚫 do not pass go! Do not collect $200! Go straight to jail!!

That time I applied to Bad Dragon was one of the best job applications I've ever written. How many jobs are there where you can address a horny dragon in the application?

I got as far as a Skype interview before I decided moving to the desert for a 6 month paid try-out as a support person for a dildo company was not a risk I wanted to take.
