Moving here from tech.lgbt.
enby with cis partner and two children in their 20s. Late in figuring out who I was, but it was still a long time ago -- but I'm just coming out to people outside my immediate family.
i work in programming, would like to get into computer security.
i enjoy reading, knitting (just starting), and learning non-distressing things about the world.

i care about climate change, privacy, Black (and Brown) Lives Matter, decolonization, and 4th amendment rights -- not so much 2nd amendment (which gives away that I'm in the US).
my partner is an artist, mainly with "fiber art" (quilting and other things made with fabric and thread).

@Retreival9096 Welcome! Every instance is beautiful, of course, but ours is secretly the awesomest!

@Retreival9096 Welcome! Here is a lovely little non-distressing thing about the world: the Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie are named after two characters in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life: Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver.

@Retreival9096 hi, I followed you back and thought to mention a couple things, first I might not be that helpful to your goal of learning non upsetting things.

And second, you're definitely a knitter I've never known one who doesn't make mistakes in every project. But also lol, I am not really a knitter. :abunhappyhop:
