Hello everyone! I want to introduce myself. I am a #BlackQueer woman, originally from Chicago. I have been in tech for over 20 years. I enjoy manga, anime, hip hop, nerdy stuff, funny shit, and as a Black woman my lived experience forces me to be resilient, not vulnerable.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.
