Hi, I'm a 39-year-old woman from Australia. I was pretty unimpressed by how Reddit handled the response to their API changes, so I'm checking this place out. Another big factor in coming over here was learning about how the API changes would impact accessibility. As someone who works in inclusive education research, accessibility is something that's important to me.
My lifelong passion is music. My main instrument is the clarinet, and I compose. I play the clarinet and the piano every day. My other hobbies include fibre arts, especially knitting, but I can crochet a little and sew badly; art, particularly coloured pencil drawing, and I got a drawing tablet early this year which I've been loving; number and word puzzles; video games sometimes; and keeping fit, which currently consists of strength workouts, swimming, walking, cycling, and sometimes running and rollerblading.
I'm autistic. I don't feel particularly negative or positive about it, it's just a thing that is. It comes with upsides and downsides just like any other neurology.
I live with my fiancé, who works as an Ubereats driver and is a hobby gardener, video gamer, tabletop gamer, all round big nerd, and The Best, My Favourite.
I'm a pretty quiet person but I'm going to make an effort to interact here to help get the community going.
