boringcactus (Melody Horn)

i am an immortal programming goddess and a trans ≈woman. i’ve been programming for over a decade, and in that time i’ve worked on a wide variety of projects. my pronouns, in descending order of preference, are ze/hir, it/its, and she/her.

i exist in a lot of places:

• see me retweet nonsense you don’t care about on twitter
• watch me occasionally stream things on twitch
• watch various kinds of permanent video content on youtube
• give me money once on ko-fi or on an ongoing basis on patreon
• if you must, email me at melody@<this domain>
