a λ.functional λ.gay

i'm a gay lil nerd who's learning everyday about community, and ecology, and computer; and trying hard to be good for the world with my gay lil friends

i was named after a plant called sorrel and i live in the mountains of southern appalachia on ᏣᎳᎩ (tsalagi/cherokee) land

i have never identified with the term 'hacker' but i have learned, in the past few years, that i do like to orchestrate computer machines and i do that with some cute friends at bunk computer club

some random things i believe/ i like/ i am/etc (in no particular order

• i like linguistics a whole lot. i make languages (the human kind) for fun. there's a whole bunch of people who do this! the language creation society i'm even working on a language (computer) to make languages (human)

• mmt, but make it anarchist -- get rid of all that "sovereignty" stuff, ew

• make everything a library and everyone a librarian

• do things that aren't computer. compute more with regular computer ppl and less with tech-brained ppl. most ppl know how to compute, and don't need to know what is an abstract factory factory

• got a spicy brained, trans lady-fied experience. i have feelings about these things that inevitably weave thru my projects and art and all that

• i used to make a lot more visual art than i do these days. some sort of smth'll wind up here at some point
