i deCapitated the rotting parts of my full name but some people started making fake recipe sites with that (wine nor meat nor coffee interests me ... unless it's coffee crisp: ) so i might have to shorten it further

#portFoLioDay

Former Advertising & Graphic Design grad ( https://yesu.neocities.org/port ) who gave it all up unwillingly (likely 'cause of my poortfoolio) to become disabled through manual labour and sleep loss

Currently research #foss software and tinker on https://yip.pe and https://penpot.app mostly for fun

Send me a private message (not sure if this is possible?) with your email if you'd like to be added to my #penpot portfolio group! )

Made a few ads and album covers more recently, mostly for myself and my faMily. As you can tell my quality level is very sub-par. Most won't even accept my volunteer efforts; )

<There, i made all you skilled illustrators look good so you owe me BIG TIME; >

#ExplainYourUsername

My name Brook comes from the Brooks Range, where I was born and learned how to ski!

A goal scored from long range in football. In my case the distance is 30 yards away from the goal line.

So, I'm not actually a ferret, I'm a pine marten. "Comrade Marten" just ended up sounding confusing.

Real talk: It's my 'sona for a few reasons, the big one being my dad trapped them for a living when he was a kid — but also because mustelids are insane, fearless, and smell awful, all of which I can sympathize with.

#ExplainYourUsername: a thread
