Lexi @lexi@eldritch.cafe

I'm an infrastructure enthusiast in most kinds of sense.

Things I care about: antifascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homomysia, anti-transmysia, anti-ableism.

I enjoy nature, by which I mean true wilderness.

Things I do for myself:
I write software for fun and profit. When I can't, I play games (adventures, space sims, train sims when it's really bad).

Feel free to follow me, I just like to have some control over who does. You are welcome!

“LGBTQIA+… BIPOC… your feminist words have so many letters, I can’t remember what they all mean” said the person in favor of FLOSS.

I should really go outside and buy a few things and stuff but that would mean shaving and putting on makeup and ain't nobody got the spoons for that 😩

89% vs 20% – this means that 109% of people hang their toilet paper in the first place!

Unpopular opinion: if you own a source code repository you are responsible for the physical and psychological safety of all the people who ever contributed to it as far as it relates to said repository. This means that if for some reason they want their records in the history changed or anonymized, you are on the hook to do it. It's your responsibility as the owner they entrusted their contribution with.

Honestly I'd rather people assume the person with my deadname is dead or has disappeared forever than to put my name into a file for everyone to read saying “Hey, that's me”

Glob, Zurich is so COLD, how do people not, like, freeze to an icicle

Seeing bras lying around next to my bed and knowing they're mine gives me incredible amounts of euphoria every morning 💞

“You haven't moved at all yesterday.”

No, dear watch, _you_ haven't moved at all.

But none of it happened. The guy looked at my dgti supplemental ID and went “Alright” and left to get me my mail!

I was so perplexed I forgot to get my wallet out to pay them. After correcting that I uttered a few perplexed words, turned around and bumped into a news rack. 😂

(My government ID does not have my real name in it yet, because Germany is quite gatekeepy and I need to do a lot more stuff to get that fixed.)

I had already put together the various scenarios in my head on how this would go. I was sure they would tell me they only accept government ID and either would refuse to give me my mail because the government ID is in the wrong name, or “correct” my name in their database. I had put together in my head what to respond with…

I was able to pick up my mail from the new mailbox service without having to give them my deadname! They just accepted my supplemental ID, without asking any questions whatsoever! I was STOKED, I'm telling yall!
