Hi! I’m the same thatandromeda you may know from elsewhere online. Studied #math, taught #Latin to middle school boys, trained as a #librarian, ended up writing #software for a variety of libraries and adjacent organizations. Things I’ve obsessed over include nonprofit governance, #weightlifting, #knitting, #singing, my cats, and #planes (working slowly on my pilot’s license). Married, mom to a teenager, extremely online for a long time. #introduction

So uhhhh with the last OSX update it apparently threw out my Terminal font choice and also will not let me change it back?
