Hi, I’m Rook. I’m a 30-something nerdy #trans vixen.
I’ve been doing #WebDevelopment, #programming, and #database stuff since I was a kit, and I'm still loving it.
Currently, I am recovering from #AutisticBurnout and dealing with multiple #ChronicIllnesses.
Previously, I worked with complex #automation and #robotics systems in #HealthCare, doing a mix of #UserSupport, #SystemAdmin, and #DataAnalysis.
At home, I’m constantly tinkering with #SmartHome projects using #HomeAssistant, building my own #electronics, and battling my #3DPrinting hardware.
I also enjoy running around as a big, silly #fox in the #Furry fandom. #Fursuiter
I’m #ActuallyAutistic, #AuDHD, and #ADHD. I’m a proud #transgender member of the #LGBTQIA #queer community,

"What do you do?", "had a busy day?" And similar questions are those I dread. I rarely have to meet acquaintances now, thankfully.
But even the grocery drivers can ask that. It's friendly, it's conversational, it's shallow (in an appropriate way, not derogatory).
Even "how are you?" Is a greeting, not a question people want an honest answer to.
This writer thinks "what do you live for?" would be better.
