It's taken me a couple of days to write one up, but it's time for my introduction post!

I'm Navarr! It will surprise you to learn that Navarr is my *real name*!

I'm a Twitch enVTuber! I mostly play RPGs, comfy cozy games, or survival games with friends - although I don't shy away from the occasional Phasmophobia or Sea of Thieves!

I currently use this lovely catgirl free asset while I start building my community, creating my lore, and saving up for a custom model. She's incredibly adorable and I'll bet you'll enjoy looking at her as much as I do!

Apart from streaming, my day job is a web developer! I'm fluent in PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and more!

I post my schedules regularly so I hope you'll follow me here, join my discord, and maybe drop in for a stream sometime?

Hey, folks! Don’t forget Mastodon provides tools to help you filter unwanted content!

Oh right, I didn’t do my “it’s been three weeks since I moved to Japan” thread.

So the big festival was last weekend. My family lent me a hanten (like a jacket) for the festival, and with everyone’s encouragement, I carried the mikoshi (portable shrine) a few times! We also got tornado potato (spiraled potato, fried, and seasoned).

"Welcome to our gander reveal party!"

"Don't you mean..."

"No."

Geese emerge from everywhere. There are no fireworks. Only geese. There are no balloons. Only chaos. There are no genders. Only honk.

it's sunday night and twitter is still a dumpster fire so i think it's finally time to re-post my all-time favorite tweet (iykyk)

because the original context for this is lost to antiquity, i want to set the stage by sharing one of my favorite absurd stories about software. (🧵)

It always starts with a joke.

–"My pronouns are kiss/my/ass"
–"I identify as an attack helicopter".

The joke is dismissive. Dehumanizing. Pandering to pseudoscience. Implying that trans identities aren't real. That trans people aren't really who they say claim.

Then one day someone writes a law.

–"No trans people in women's sports."
–"No trans people in women's bathrooms."

And that's reasonable, you think. After all, they're not "really" women. They can play make believe in their own homes if they want to.

Then one day a preacher says:

–"Trans are delusional."
–"Trans are groomers."

And you think to yourself whoa, that's strong language. But maybe they've got a point. After all, if they believe things that aren't real, that's certainly a delusion. And teaching kids delusions are real certainly isn't ok.

Then one day someone says:

–"Groomers are a threat and must be exterminated."
–"Genocide of groomers is a moral good actually."

And folks believe them. It starts with a joke.

So, this happened:
