Time for an updated #introduction 1/3

Meow, I'm Dizzy. A disabled bisexual collared catboy switch, classic rock & metaller, cricket & darts nerd.

Tech: Ran the network and phone system for a couple of companies for a few years before work's greedy politics screwed me and thinking with my dick made me relocate. After more years working helldesks I'm now back working purely telecoms. Helldesk scars run deep.

Nerd creds: classic British telly, retro computing, phones & tech, transport, nuclear war. And other stuff.

Queer creds: Been bikinky for a long time. My avatar is a boy kitty with a #VioletWand. That's my fursona. Zap me and I purr. Massage my paws and I melt into a gooey mess. I give a good paw massage too. I do crush on some of my mutuals, others I just sit and admire cos I think they are awesome.

Family: My wife Vixie is an American Vulpes Pallida. Our beautiful tortie Harlow has been with us for almost a year after our beloved #AuronKitty Cally passed away. We're still devastated by that.

Time for an updated #introduction 2/3

Health: My balance mechanism is fscked after an illness that nearly killed me. Hence the nickname Dizzy. Cos I physically am pretty much all the time.

Throw in a dose of flashbacks, trigger traumas, sensitive lungs from that time and more recently manifestations of arthritis (I crack in places people just shouldn't). Some days just ain't good. Vixie is immunosuppressed after extensive cancer treatment. We mask up.

I'm neurospicy of some sort. Probably undiagnosed ADHD. It's not unusual for me to miss social cues, require specific instructions or wordings or misfire in some way. If I do misfire, please let me know by PM. I won't hold it against you or take it personally. If I follow you it's cos I think you're cool, interesting, someone I can learn from. I'm not here to insult, offend or cause discomfort.

Health stuff is usually CW'd. I've been through some serious stuff that you don't want jumping out without a warning.

Time for an updated #introduction 3/3

I work in tech but I'm a massive AI sceptic. I loathe politicians generally and cishet right wingers in particular. There's a lot of societal programming to get rid of. Like the trauma, it keeps fighting back and won't bugger off for good but being here helps the good fight.

It's a joy to see so many LGBTQIA2+ people on Fedi. I've been blessed with love and support from queers, trans folk and kinksters, so much more than from "Christians". You folk are the future we need.

Meow.
