About Me

Hi! I'm Lena. I'm on my late 20s, I pretend to be an artist, I dabble in programming and web design, I sometimes like to write sophomoric-ass shit. I like playing puzzle and arcade videogames, and experiencing various kinds of art. This is my website.

In late 2022, growing disillusioned with the modern internet's enshittification and hostility, I deleted all my remaining social media accounts and returned to tumblr to have a more earnest online presence. Over time, however, I grew tired of Tumblr Staff's mismanagement and decided to instead create my own website as a hub for all my projects.

The original version of this website was completely written by hand using vanilla vim and an honestly ridiculous amount of patience. It was alright, but it was an absolute miserable pain to add new content to it, so I recently used a mix of neovim and Kate to rewrite it from the ground up to use autosite instead.

Long-term, I intend to make this place a hub for all my projects. This necessarily means developing a bunch of infrastructure for it, which will need a huge amount of work and time that I can't always afford because of both day-to-day issues and my disability. It is a constant work-in-progress, so different parts might be unfinished at different points in time; I'm rationalizing that jank as transparency about my creative process, fuck it.

I consider my queerness, autism, anarchism, passion for free software, and being a furry and an artist to be very important to who I am as a person. There is infinitely more to me (and to everyone!) and to how those aspects affect me than I could possibly put cram together in a single article, so you will have to learn about those aspects of me through my work and/or eventual in-depth articles about them.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy my website and my work: have fun exploring it, and then go and try to do the things you love. It's worth it~
