as technology becomes more enshittified and locked down by venture capitalists, it begs the question: am i becoming my parents? is my nostalgic appreciation for retro tech any different from theirs? will i become one of those "back in my day" people?

✨ musician since 2007, webdev & visuals since 2009, plural since 2011, Ableton user since 2016, (officially) autistic since 2017, Eurorack user since 2018, gamedev & DIY estrogen since 2019, Twitch streamer since 2020, furry since 2021, not a virgin since 2023, homelabber & Twitch affiliate since 2024.
💜 i make things with HTML/CSS/JS/PHP sometimes. and i've got a little bit of experience with Docker and Portainer on my Ubuntu Server machine.
🎨 i use GIMP and a mouse to create all my art and designs. yes i will fight you over this.
💿 i run CUTE CERVID together with biddy fox. i used to run pUwUlsewave together with 2a03fox, and i've released music with DESKPOP and Aural Alliance. you can also find my merch collection on muttrest.
💾 i love technology. i hate technology. i still own an iPod and a cassette deck in 2024 and that should tell you enough.
🤖 i want nothing to do with genAI and web3. if you are here in an attempt to plagiarize and financialize my works at the cost of the environment and marginalized communities across the globe, this is not the website for you.
💉 i inject 6mg estradiol enanthate from AstroVials once a week. i used to do sublingual estrogen + cyproterone acetate but i switched to monotherapy in 2023. feel free to ask me for advice!
🍉 i am a leftist but instead of just telling you that, i'd rather let my actions speak.
my fursona
i have represented myself online through personified versions of myself for years now, but in 2021 after several human and deer-hybrid designs i finally decided to create a fursona.
i used to be less confident at drawing anthro characters, so the original design was made by JezyJex. this design was very simple, but it changed a lot over the years with the help of artists such as TwoHeadedAnimal.
nowadays, i tend to just make my own art. all my coverart is designed and drawn by me unless otherwise specified! their design also changes with each "era" of my music to reflect the styles and genres of my works.
