This Saturday, the 24th, will mark exactly three years since I ran away from home to join the Fediverse!
In the 1095 days betwixt, I have learned a ton from y'all, grown so much as a person, had a bunch of adventures, and changed most of my life
Some of the highlights were:
- ⚧️ discovering I'm nonbinary
-
surviving a suicide attempt
- 🧠 writing a cool paper on autism diagnosis
-
️ leaving my abusive marriage
-
️🩹 doing suicide prevention check-ins with folx
-
becoming an adult content creator
-
dating a few Fedi folx
-
️ meeting my two amazing partners
-
becoming RedTeamTools' brand ambassador
-
making the TeslaFire emoji
-
meeting like 100 Fedi folx IRL
-
saving a cat
- 🩸 paying a street medic's medical bills
-
️
founding @AltAfterDark
-
saving a couple big fish from a net
- 🩹 helping multiple people recover from surgeries
- 🤯 being followed by over 7000 of you
- 🫠 getting fan art & music from y'all
-
learning electric guitar & bassAnd *all*¹ of those were only possible because of you. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.

Happy aniversary

Oh yeah, also:
-
tirelessly promoted sex workers' rights
-
created the biggest STEM-girls threads on Fedi
- 🥢 showed folx how to thwart cheese powder
-
took down multiple fashy websites
-
welcomed hundreds of folx to LGBTQIA.space
-
banned numerous CSAM & Nazi servers
-
taught a bunch of folx to pick locks@alice wait, "thwart cheese powder"?
I know what each of those words means in isolation, but I'm drawing a total blank on the three together as a predicate.

@alice @AltAfterDark wait, people in here actually date!? now i feel like im missing out

@vgarzareyna oh, totally! Fedi is hands down the best dating app I've ever used

I've been on quite a few dates with Fedi folx, slept with 8-10, met both my current partners through here, and (depending on how you count "having sex") had sex with up to a hundred or so

@alice wait, "thwart cheese powder"?
I know what each of those words means in isolation, but I'm drawing a total blank on the three together as a predicate.
@dragonfrog I eat messy foods like Cheetos, Doritos, Cheese Puffs, etc with chopsticks.
Every time I mention it or share a photo of it I get like a dozen people going
🤯 how did I never think of that?? -
