#introduction v. 2.0

Hi! I'm Steve. I teach undergrad at one of Pitt's regional campuses. I have a Master's in Comp Sci and another in Divinity (and a ton of student debt). Spiritual and religious, but in my own special syncretic way: influenced by Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Paganism.

Marxist-Humanist, cis male, gay, and polyamorous.

I like both video and tabletop games. I hoard books and vintage tech. I <3 FOSS

If you are queer and/or furry and your family or "friends" don't support you, I'm your older brother now, and I'll rip out the jugular of anyone who gives you shit.

In lieu of a fursona, plz accept this picture of a plush wolf wearing my glasses.

Dear fellow cis people,

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Nonbinary people are people.
Respect pronouns.
Respect names.
Respect people.

Love,
Me

PS. Cis is not a slur. You are not being oppressed for being cis.

I am basically a giant teddy bear wolf thing. I offer hugs, glomps, head pats, scritches, belly rubs, and any other reasonable signs of affection peeps might be in need of today.

If that's not your thing, that's cool too. Boundaries and personal comfort are important. But the offer is there for those who might want or need it.

To anyone at all who is having a hard time right now:

I see you, I believe in you, and I'm rooting for you. You can and will get through this.

Student: email's professor (me) about a thing.
Me: takes more than 30 minutes to respond.
Student: emails again 35 minutes later about the same thing.
Me: ...

Things that can't happen soon enough:
1. Spring (for real, it's almost April, this few days of warm ... sike! Have 30° again is getting old).
2. April 25.

Yo dawg I heard you liked recursion, so I UNO reversed your UNO reverse, so you can NO U your NO U.
