Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.
The problem is that electronic mail requires internet tax an internet is mostly privatised with a high learning curve whereas postal mail generally just requires a residential address (still not perfect but better). Postal mail in many regions has also been largely privatised, unfortunately, too.
