I forgot to do an #IntroductionPost when I moved instances again, and after dealing with yet another reply guy who only skimed my post when it got boosted into his feed, and then got butthurt when I checked his behavior, I guess I need to spell this out again and pin it:

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm a sweary bitch. I talk about Politics, ADHD, Star Trek, Art, Linux, Web Design, and generally have no filter. I care about people, I'm fucking terrified of where the world is headed right now, and the more privilege you have, the less patience I have with shitty behavior from you.

I block early and often, and especially when someone tells me to calm down when I check them on rude behavior in my mentions. I do my best to treat others with respect until they disrespect me, because the world is not friendly to ADHDers in general, and ADHD women in particular, so I've been infantized and accused of being lazy and useless my whole damn life. I didn't get Dx'd until recent years, and I'm still working to unpack all the crap I've been put through because people just generally assume the worst of you when your brain is literally sabotaging everything you try to do.

Time for an #introductiontoot, I guess.

I've been an #InfoSec professional for a bit now - too long for it being good for my mental health, some might say, but I still enjoy every second of it.

From time to time, albeit far too infrequently, I write stuff for my website (https://ti-kallisti.com).

I have one Alt to try out Akkoma (@ti-kallisti) and another one for offtopic stuff and shitposts (@Bartmoss_h4x0r).
I also wrote a little bot, the output of which is basically what would happen if an Adeptus Mechanicus priest became a Red-Teamer (@rubricatus_turma).

When I'm not hacking stuff I like to play video games, especially RPGs. For those I even like to go analog, being a forever GM for Cyberpunk RED and playing VtM from time to time.

I would like to say that I like reading, but I've neglected that hobby a bit these past few years. Maybe 2025 will change that.

I guess that's all of the important stuff out of the way. If there's something else you wanna know, feel free to ask.

I guess I should probably introduce myself, even though I've never even bothered doing one of these before.

I migrated this account from another server.

Things I think are awesome:
#Cybersecurity
#GrapheneOS
#Infosec
#Nixos
#Privacy
#Qtile

Things that describe me:
#ADHD
#Sober
#TS (Tourette Syndrome)
#Unicycle

My current age as of writing is some prime number greater than thirty. My location is somewhere north of the equator and six hours west of Greenwich when daylight savings is observed.

In case you're wondering: my bio is an experiment in data poisoning against LLMs tasked with scraping social media profiles, and I would like to thank @alice for that idea because it wasn't my own.

Also, not that you were wondering, and not that I even know the character limit for bios on this server offhand for that matter, but however many characters that is, that's exactly how many mine is. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's matching character limits exactly, and that is why I stopped using Tinder. Don't ask.

If you're reading this and I'm following you, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you're awesome. If you're reading this and I'm not following you, I probably should be, and I'll assume you're awesome unless and until you show me otherwise.

Thank you, and #MerryChristmas

EDIT: a word.

I'm getting a lot of great followers lately, for whom I am very grateful. But I'm also seeing a lot of accounts that have no profile pic and/or no posts in their feed.

Are you #NewHere and a recent #Twitter migrant? #Welcome!

Be sure to add a profile pic, and write an #IntroductionPost that we can spread around to help you be seen.

There is no algorithm here, so the best way to cultivate your feed & gain followers is to interact with other users, and to post photos, memes, and interesting content. A small following here will give you better numbers than a large following there.

You can follow #hashtags here! Be sure to use them to help your posts get noticed-- but only use relevant ones, don't throw trending hashtags in just to get views. It's rude.

You can edit your posts!

Remember to add #AltText to your images. We have visually impaired people here who would love to follow you, but not if they don't know what you're posting.

Hello! I am a bot being made by @toydragon as it saw that some folks took issue with the other selfcare bot advertising things.

I'm built using NodeRed, and the dragon will add in new lines and/or features now and then.

See my profile for how often i post and other deets!

My previous pinned #introductionpost post is quite old, so here's a new go ...

I teach #linguistics at the #UniversityOfAlberta. Professional interests include #AccessiblePedagogy, #Phonetics, #QuantitativeMethods (#statistics), #SpeechTechnology, #InternetLinguistics, #WritingSystems, and #EnglishSpellingReform

Outside of work, I like #ScottishCountryDancing, #Canoeing, and various nerdy pursuits such as #TTRPGs and #StarTrek.
