The miracle we’ve been hoping for
No longer homeless
But living in an RV
https://youtu.be/mMbmw22R9t4?si=xzF1g2aqxqTVMeU4
I’m sorry it’s an hour long. But it features lots of moving into the RV, backstory, cats, my music, my partner’s music, and autistic and trans joy!
I think it’s awfully fitting that we found a RAINBOW RV within our price range, and it’s big enough to be comfortable with our two cats!
We couldn’t be more grateful. But we are hoping that we can continue to find friends who will listen to our music in support, or buy art from me

To all my fellow lgbtqia+ spoonies, I hope you’ll hit the reblog to help me reach more nice people
Here’s some recent art I’ve done..
Much love, and peace out

Oh this is the first time I’ve seen one of Bam the #Roadtrek‘s twins (same age and spec save Bam has leather seats) for sale.
Seems to be in better shape with less paint peal and far fewer mods and bodges. Asking price is about the same as when we bought in 2012.
They might want to push the Canadian heritage more
Thanks to the #MutualAid community on TikTok, my partner, our two cats, and I are able to leave the extended stay hotel we’ve been struggling to stay sheltered in, and now have an #RV to call home.
I’ve started a playlist with RV-based content as a positive turn-around to hopefully come back from this #depression and share our experiences:

As a #disabled #queer #artist who makes #AltRock music, art, and does other projects to earn a living, I’d sincerely appreciate any support; especially through streaming my music, getting merch or custom art from me, and supporting ( @magicalgrrrl ) my partner’s music and merch.
I currently have a children’s #storybook that I wrote and illustrated, on hold for (self)publication. It is a family-friendly book about my experiences with #homelessness stemming from childhood #abuse from the perspective of a cat.
I’m also slowly but surely working on an #autobiography about my experiences being #ActuallyAutistic with #CPTSD in hopes of reaching other people with similar stories. #Trauma and #HealingTrauma is also the main point of my music.
If you decide to check out the music, get some art, or some merch, thank you!!

re- #introduction
I've been around the Fediverse for at least 7 years. I've left logins all over the place, which mostly now just follow this account. I settled on Sharkey for its features. And besides, how could software from a trans group be bad, eh?
I'm a very old techie. When I was a kid, we had to program the bootstrap code in binary by using switches on the front panel. Uphill, both ways. My favorite language was Pascal. It was so fucking safe and deterministic, you had to work really hard to create a bug.
Professionally, I was originally a biomedical engineer, then a marketing manager for a well-known, racist, and anti-Semitic company in Texas, then freelanced until I retired a few years ago. I've a few patents, including a software patent with probably the most claims of any software patent ever. Because I wrote it myself, and I was fucking with them because patents and copyrights have really lost sight of their original intention.
Unprofessionally, I was an actor and performance artist, poet, photographer, and a man of ridiculously poor life choices with gusto. How else do you learn anything?
What I post is usually photos, sometimes quotes, and maybe film reviews. Also, our blog if we ever get back to doing that. Currently, we're in Canada, and there's at least a 50-50 chance I'll be asking for perm residence. We're running a Bed & Breakfast in Toronto: 35acores.com

@xvf17@sfba.social @SRDas@mastodon.online On Android, there is a really, really cool app for boiled eggs. It's Free Open Source Software #FOSS. -> https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.woheller69.eggtimer/
We are nomads, so having the time correction for size and altitude is awesome. #Photography #Travel #Nomad #vanlife #rv
@SRDas@mastodon.online @AnirbanM@mastodon.social Thanks for sharing that story. There's a lot of truth and insight there. Years ago, when my wife and I became nomads, I started a blog for my friends (I said) because I knew we would forget where we'd been. Writing and photographs help me remember. May I share a poem apropos to the subject?
WHEN PICTURES BECOME BRITTLE
You showed me your garden of Polaroid flowers;
faces and places that were not mine.
I sat on that weathered chair by the wall
where passage had loosened some stones,
leaving the eroded emotions
that fence the backyard of my life.
The grass was unkempt like my hair
our first morning together.
You laughed and tousled my hair
with your hands.
As if you could change the scene
after the shutter has moved.
I gossiped with family unknown to me,
in a language I can't even speak,
of neighbors and politics, of kids
and camera clicks.
And stories were told
that will fade to gray clouds
when these pictures become brittle.

Things we absolutely don't have space for in our RV: a dishwasher.
Things that arrived today: a dishwasher.
It is definitely bigger than I thought it would be. But in my defense, I _really_ hate washing up so I think I'm OK with it....
These propane tank sensors have proved super useful in our #RV
I intend to get some for our grill & firepit at home as well
(80-90% is a “full” propane tank)
since i need to make a new introduction as ive been on this instance for a bit and i need a distraction from crying in this realm
im inamruzui or aevum or many other names that translate to time or timekeeper
i am a otherkin/nonhuman being stuck in a vessel or this body im bound to which i dont fit resulting in phantom limbs i also often accidentally hurt the vessel as i bump into things as i can never get used to its shape like with digigrade legs not compatible with this vessels plantigrade
this language isnt my native so if i fuck up in my phrasing let me know and its massively improved over the years of being stuck in this vessel same with figuring out how this realm works and references
shornen may rarely type through this vessel but they will use a tv emoji as they are a clockwork demon kitsune with a tv head
we are building out a bus to be a rv/lab to build a gene editing system for vulpine labs but also to work as a hacker space and has its own self contained grid and we are living out of it as we are building it
more info about the gene editing system can be seen here (its very much incomplete):
https://gitlab.vulpinedesigns.com/explore
https://laberation.pubpub.org/
vessel is also trans mtf and im also xenogender as well as have neopronouns
my xenogender is: garda-shun'o,to
my neopronouns are: Mizu/Malzu/Malzul/Malzuz/Mizullum
i may be anxious/have trauma based misanthropy as i often was lashed out at in this realm although i try to fight past it
i am a techie as well and know my way around linux
i often accidentally brake software
trans rights are universal rights
punch your local nazi
to live and fight for others out of spite and while looking at the little things and potential for good is the most punk thing you can do
to fight for a solarpunk future and against capitalism is to restore balance
My #introduction: I’m a software engineer mostly in #dotnet with some mobile side projects mostly in #swift. My wife and I spent 5 years traveling the U.S. in a #RV during which time we welcomed our daughter into our lives. Have now settled down in the charming #smalltown of #guthrie #oklahoma.
I play both the #ukulele and #piano frequently but poorly. Have a passion for #Photography Live in a big old house with two #greatdanes who fill the place. We also run a #littlefreelibrary.
