Financial support is never a requirement to be part of the Terminal Tilt community. Digital sovereignty should be an empowerment, not a financial burden.

If you are tight on funds, please do not donate. The best way to help me grow is through advocacy:

2025 was a year of radical change for me. Despite a UCTD flare up, I lost 50 lbs and took the vital step of cutting ties with toxic family to protect my mental health. Most importantly, I finally came out openly as Queer. I am omnisexual, and living that truth has been a major part of my journey this year.

I also finally deGoogled. It was a hard but cathartic experience. I deleted my accounts with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, moving my digital life to privacy-respecting, left-leaning services. Embracing FOSS, Debian, Docker, and Proxmox has been an incredible learning journey.

Moving to the Fediverse has been life-changing. For an introvert, finding a home here and posting regularly has been huge!

For 2026, I’m leaning toward the analog. I want to solidify my journaling habit, read more, and start walking in the beautiful park near our new home. I am even hoping to pick up a 35mm film camera.

Thank you to everyone I have interacted with here for giving me such a great outlet. I look forward to more conversations in the coming year.

Happy New Year and stay safe!

Ko-Fi really wants me to make an account on the hell site, but I’m drawing a line in the sand.

As a disabled and omnisexual creator, I refuse to spend my energy in a place that feels increasingly hostile to my communities just for the sake of self promotion. I believe we can build successful brands right here on the #Fediverse without compromising our ethics or our safety. 🏳️‍🌈 ♿️

I am here to focus on what I love: GNU/Linux, open source, and high-quality ethical technologies. Speaking of things I love... I’ve officially set up a Ko-Fi goal to support my caffeine addiction! ☕️

I’m a bit of a coffee snob, even brewing at home is getting pricey with tariffs and inflation. If you appreciate a queer, disabled perspective on the #Linux world, I’d love your help reaching my $50 goal!
