Personal Update
Writing this from a friend's couch, coffee in hand, while our server (lovingly dubbed "the toaster") hums away back home. I literally sleep next to it sometimes, about 3 feet away - I take pleasure in knowing that I sleep closer to the server then that bald headed gargantuan Bezos ever did the Amazon racks in his moms garage
These past weeks have been challenging. As a trans person who's both navigated and worked within the system (those drag days as SU Pres remain memorable), the current rollback of trans rights weighs heavily. It fuels a persistent drive to resist and create change.
This project embodies years of expertise across political science, coding, and computer building, backed by an incredible support network. My therapist wisely suggested getting comfortable for this marathon – hence, the couch and coffee setup.
I used to be that person who dismissed free tools, believing paid ones had to be superior (because the market knows best, right?). Now? Holy cow that garbage is expensive. Ripping people off has become the driving force for capitalism in the digital age.
So I'm at peace knowing some folks won't benefit from my work, and that's perfectly fine. Well kinda; I feel strangely protective of the whole thing.
Any how...
The journey has been solitary – from writing dense theory to coding thousands of lines and launching a full application. So it's time to expand. I'm meeting with collaborators and rapidly deploying more sites. If you're interested in discussing the project over coffee IRL, reach out.
As for V4? It'll arrive when it's ready – and I promise to stop accidentally smacking the server during midnight rolls
So I am poud to announce our first product. More updates coming soon.
Respect and solidarity,
