Leaving the United States: The First Steps
#Leaving the United States #trans #transfem
Introduction With the ongoing attacks on trans rights in the United States, and especially on trans women such as myself, I have elected to move to the Netherlands. It will be an arduous process which I will document in this series, so that others who wish to emigrate from the United States may do the same with some guidance. This post will list the steps I needed/need to take as of time of writing, March 28th, 2025 in order to move to the Netherlands, using the DAFT as a means to acquire residency.

My Thoughts on World of Goo
World of Goo is an indie game developed by 2D Boy and published by Tomorrow Corporation. I first played this game back in 2008 on my Nintendo Wii, which I still have so I ended up playing it again on it. It was great to play games there again, as I had done all those years ago. It’s a fantastic puzzle game built around physics, and I’m excited to share my thoughts.

My Thoughts on GNOG
Today, I played GNOG, a rather trippy puzzle game centered around playing with strange puzzle boxes. Its aesthetics evoke a sense of wonder although admittedly the gameplay felt a bit simplistic. Still, it was certainly a game I wouldn’t have picked up otherwise and part of the fun of this is to try new games. It was certainly jarring to be pushed into the action without really knowing what was going on, but it made it that much more of a magical experience.

My First Game Development Experience
So, I tried making a text adventure game in C, and it was a dumpster fire. Let’s talk about that. What is a text adventure game? A text adventure game, or interactive fiction as it’s sometimes known, is a type of game where the player inputs commands, similar to a terminal to progress through the game’s story. Here’s an example of what that looks like: You find yourself in an open field.

Setting up riseup.net as an email provider for Mastodon
#riseup #mastodon #tutorial
Heyo! It’s been a while, but I managed to do something quite neat if you’re on a budget and want to start a Mastodon instance. As a de-facto requirement for a Mastodon instance, you’ll need to have an email server hooked up. This can get pricey, so an alternative is an ideal way to save money long-term. This is where riseup comes in. They provide an email service for activists for free (as long as you have an invite) Unfortunately, you cannot use a custom domain with riseup yet, so when emails are sent to users of your Mastodon server, it’ll be an @riseup.

Emerald Social: A Local Mastodon Server
#emerald social #tech #eugene #mastodon
Introduction With social media, I’ve found that people will often gravitate towards whatever is put in-front of them. As such, it is a great power, and thus great responsibility to have control of that. Unfortunately, as it stands, platforms like (but not limited to) Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok fail to handle this responsibility well. It’s well-known that corporate social media abuses its power to destroy people’s mental health and influence elections.
