Some interests:

• Art: I draw digitally and post some of it on my social media. Check the tools page. I also know how to crochet but that's more of a personal handicraft to me.
• Writing: I have a long-term spec-fic project which I will self-publish someday. It's very embarrassing and I talk to myself a lot in it. I have also written three short stories published in various college and university lit mags (not available online, sorry). There is some short smutty stuff up on Toyhou.se.
• Publishing: I have experience with organizing small anthologies, as an executive editor, for a queer nonprofit and laying them out for print. The process is stressful but I enjoy it.
• Education focus: English and Sociology (finished), Library Technology (current)
• Video games: Deep Rock Galactic, Satisfactory, Tower Unite, Vintage Story, Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, etc.
• Anime
• Second Life
