This Saturday, the 24th, will mark exactly three years since I ran away from home to join the Fediverse!

In the 1095 days betwixt, I have learned a ton from y'all, grown so much as a person, had a bunch of adventures, and changed most of my life  

Some of the highlights were:
- ⚧️ discovering I'm nonbinary
- 💞 surviving a suicide attempt
- 🧠 writing a cool paper on autism diagnosis
- 🏃🏼‍♀️ leaving my abusive marriage
- ❤️‍🩹 doing suicide prevention check-ins with folx
- 🔞 becoming an adult content creator
- 😘 dating a few Fedi folx
- ❤️ meeting my two amazing partners
- 🔓 becoming RedTeamTools' brand ambassador
 making the TeslaFire emoji
- 💝 meeting like 100 Fedi folx IRL
- 🐈 saving a cat
- 🩸 paying a street medic's medical bills
- ❤️‍🔥 founding @AltAfterDark
- 🐟 saving a couple big fish from a net
- 🩹 helping multiple people recover from surgeries
- 🤯 being followed by over 7000 of you
- 🫠 getting fan art & music from y'all
- 🤘 learning electric guitar & bass

And *all*¹ of those were only possible because of you. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.

¹ I'm sure this list is missing a ton of things 😅²
² I'm running out of emoji 😋

(way more than) #ThreeGoodThings #Gratitude #Fediversary #ThankYou

Oh yeah, also:

- 🍆 tirelessly promoted sex workers' rights
- 👩‍🔬 created the biggest STEM-girls threads on Fedi
- 🥢 showed folx how to thwart cheese powder
- 💣 took down multiple fashy websites
- 👋 welcomed hundreds of folx to LGBTQIA.space
- 🔨 banned numerous CSAM & Nazi servers
- 📎 taught a bunch of folx to pick locks

@alice wait, "thwart cheese powder"?

I know what each of those words means in isolation, but I'm drawing a total blank on the three together as a predicate.

@alice

You rock! Thanks for being here. {hugs}

@alice Squashed a bunch of bots distributing intimate imagery and/or porn non-consensually.

@bygone12 @alice @AltAfterDark
Well now you have seven

In the fond hope you will share your adventures in testicular tortion now that that you (hopefully) have enough distance on it to see the funny side

But dude - write your bio

@bygone12 @alice @AltAfterDark I don't want to tell you what to do but you should consider adding a profile Pic and info in your profile. You look like a freaky bot at first glance.
@alipunk @alice @AltAfterDark @Hedgewizard Ok I will take your advice and customize my profile this afternoon
