Who are you???

I'm Ember - a dumb gay crow in love with the obscure. I'm more transgender than you could ever know. My true pronouns would bring you to your knees, but you may refer to me with sea/sear/seas pronouns or he/it / him/its / his/its.

I do all sorts of stuff relating to all sorts of hobbies, a small sample of which includes:

  • Queer & feminist theory (if you know any therian/otherkin theory, hmu!)
  • Amature programming (tied to my worksona, so nothing linked here)
  • Activism/Crime

In addition to all that, I'm interested in

  • Neat open source protocols
  • Ethics & software & ethical software
  • Degrowth & sustainability
  • Cartoons
  • A less violent world through anarchy
  • Video essays
  • Toki Pona (skill level: beginner/intermediate)
  • Urban Exploration (Urbex)
  • The intersection of any of the above

I'm generally not super chatty with people I'm not already friends with, unless you talk to me in person, but that doesn't mean you can't reach out. If you want advice, have any questions about me or my work, or want to chat, you can get my contact information above.

But heads up, please don't try to talk to me about

Short Answer: Dark reader messes with the formatting of my site, and I don't like that

Long Answer: Philosophically, extensions like dark reader view websites as sources of information to be consumed, and understands the most efficient way of consuming that information as the best way of consuming that information.

I think this is true for a lot of websites, especially websites that are primarily tools or repositories of raw information. For sites like these, I encourage you to customize the fuck out of them, and browse however makes you feel comfortable.

But I think there's another category of website — expressive websites. Websites that are artistic first, and communicate just as much, if not more, through design as through words and images.

That's the category that I hope my website falls into. And maybe you don't like my design choices, or you think my site sucks, and that's okay. But it's still my art and I'm proud of it, and I'd really appreciate it if you experienced it as it is.

Accessibility Concerns: Some people may use tools like dark reader in order to accommodate for a disability. To this end, reader mode is available for every content-containing page on this site. After enabling reader mode from your browser's UI, you will be able to change the font size, styling, and color.

The one exception to this rule is the site's homepage, due to the fact that a site-root may never use reader mode. To circumvent this, I have made a mirror of the homepage available.

If this is a poor accommodation of your disability, or you need another service, please reach out to me at ember@corviform.gay, and I will do my best to try to meet your need.
