Greetings, Fediverse! Let me make an #introduction - I'm Emily, a recently out #trans girl, #lgbtq advocate, and giant #tech nerd.

This is a personal account, but since 2017 I've been working at #linustechtips as a writer and occasional host. I'm most well-known for #Linux and #retrogaming / #retrocomputing content, but my interests can be very broad - Especially with stuff I know nothing about!

Tech can be fun and tech can be a tool, and to that end, I advocate using (and breaking) every platform and learning about the days of computers past. Between work and home, I currently daily drive #Linux and #Windows in roughly equal measure.

I was a #sega kid, so that probably had something to do with that philosophy... And my fondness for FM synth.

his wife left him for a trans woman

his daughter came out as trans and disowned herself

his userbase is leaving in droves to a place that's full of and accepting of trans people

hell yeah lol

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.
