Hi, I'm Kym (aka Seirff) - an always cold fire #dragon.

Work: #Freelance #techwriter with a computer science degree, #ghostwriter, #editor & #proofreader, #translator (DE>EN), & former #ESL teacher. I write and draw diagrams at drawio.com.

Open for new clients, especially academic, and diagramming topic requests for the #drawio blog.

Where: Living in #Leipzig, Germany, after a short stay in #Fukushima, Japan. Originally from #Melbourne, Australia.

Owned by two big fluffy Maine Coon #cats, whose fur is the bane of my and their existence.

On the rooftop balcony I grow as much food as possible with a black thumb - #gardening.

Eternally curious, I share my learning process, crafting, art process and deep thoughts about tricky topics with #Patreon members.

Woven items and art, #ESLteaching and learning materials and tips are available over on #KoFi.

Many hobbies - #languages, #art, #piano, #cello, #guitar, #gaming, #sewing, #xstitch, #tapestry, #yarn crafts like #crochet, #knitting, #weaving & #spinning.

Occasionally also #3dPrinting & #MiniPainting.

Gentle persistence is my mantra - #spondyloarthritis / #PsoriaticArthritis, #SystemicSclerosis, #endometriosis, complex #PTSD, #BreastCancer survivor, #migraine monster - a collection of #ChronicIllness. I rant about the health system and incompetent doctors. #spoonie

I want to read your toots, not go down the boost content rabbit hole.

@Kymberly I have #spondyloarthritis too and I’m also from Melbourne 😊 Currently being diagnosed for C-ptsd. I’m a knitter and crochet as well. Fashion andvtextile designer as my career.
@TaniaBishop Pleased to meet ya! It seems a lot easier to find like-minded folks with the same interests/support needs here than on the bird site, even across server boundaries :)
@Kymberly yes! Especially niche interests and medical conditions. Great to meet you too 😊
