i'm alex, i'm a kitty
:neocat: who moved from poland to netherlands (living in Utrecht as of now) in september 2024 kind of by force

i speak polish and english, as well as trying to learn dutch (with little to no results though)

at the time of writing this i am no longer a neet woohoo
:jamming: i got a job

i usually draw things in my free time or endlessly scroll the internet for no reason. i collect plushies and keep them on my desk, as well as collect pokemon TCG cards.

i also gamed a lot, but nowadays i am trying to find motivation to boot up something else than osu from time to time

if i get the inspiration i work on static websites, most notably my personal site, dokokashira.nl (that needs to be updated asap because of how many outdated things there are

still morphing and trying to discover myself now that i have a proper environment to do so

i'm a trans gay guy and started my HRT on february 8 2025
:neocat_floof:

i'm proudly disabled (HoH, AuDHD, C-PTSD, BPD et al) and i wish for a better world

@alexander - private account for friends
@kaviaar - AD account, only for people i know that are 18+

Soooooo excited to find out that come September there's a Somatic Experiencing (a type of body centered psychotherapy) module starting up for Deaf/Hard of Hearing therapists here in D.C..

I cannot tell you how amazing this is, and how exciting it will be to be in a roomful of other Deaf/HoH therapists! 💃 💃 💃

Continued thread

But sometimes I can also be a couch potato who stays at home #cooking , being a #plantdad , #studying , #creating , #watchingTV, or fighting against my ADHD symptoms! 😁

DigitA11y is my passion business, and I hope to help small businesses and companies to become more accessible. I will also do community building to empower #ddbhh ( #Deaf #DeafBlind #HardOfHearing ) and #APD (Auditory Processing Disorder) in #Canada (mostly #BritishColumbia).

It is a long journey to go! ✊🏽💕

#introduction

HQ to all stations, HQ to all stations, federate this instance by boosting my intro!

i'm alex, a guy who moved from :poland: to :netherlands: and is now comfy here, sort of :neocat_comfy:

i mostly do digital art, sometimes graphic design. i also like rewriting my website all the time and experimenting with html and css.

i am very gay, very trans, very autistic and very disabled. i'm a hearing aid user, a glasses user and have mental conditions that affect my life drastically.

but that doesn't stop me from existing, even if said existence is hard

anyways! i really love computers of the 90s and 2000s, grew up with nintendo consoles and have plenty of favorite games, such as Jet Set Radio, Psychonauts, Pokemon X, Smash Bros. series and LittleBigPlanet 2

i also listen to music a fuck ton, my taste always changing; at the time of writing i'm mostly listening to Hideki Naganuma, Kikuo, Krafty Kuts, Reol and Mitchie M!

i post my art on my website, brainworms.nl and on my art account, @wormwork@brainworms.nl

read my bio before following, thanks!

brainworms.nlThe Worm of Mind...Have you ever wondered how does it feel to live with brainworms that consume your life bite by bite?

hello gamers, new #introduction - boost it also as means to expand federation of this new instance

i'm alex. of the same fame as on other instances.

i'm a disabled trans guy who fled to netherlands and now i am haunting the bureaucrats and locals with my existience. i am at least 20 years old. minors don't follow this account thanks.

i make art, can be seen on my website and soon on fedi if i finally migrate the art account too. which yes i am also implying i am a webmaster

i am currently obsessed with pokemon merchandise and love researching more niche merch that may be also region-exclusive

some stuff i make or made:

entralink; a webclique for fans of pokemon games but pre-switch feDistricts, a site directory for fedi folks and their websites nijntje, neobun, neocube and neoghost

all can be found on my website, https://dokokashira.nl/

before you follow me, read these:

  • i may seem harsh but i'm not an evil meanie. just warding off evil spirits like a shrine maiden. i may actually like you
  • i am autistic, hearing-impaired, and having a bad case of c-ptsd: these affect my worldview significantly
  • i am not interested in fedimeta, or yankpol. matter of fact my instance rejects all posts mentioning yankpol by its actual name because frankly theres too much cool stuff in life for me to care about either
  • i have opinions and if you disagree just fuck off instead of stalking, harassing me or making the next chapter of fedimeta
  • sending reports to my instance means you are stupid and can't read (i'm the admin here what are you expecting)
  • if you come into my mentions explaining something i didn't ask for, "erm ackshually"-ing my posts or frankly doing the gender-irrelevant variant of mansplaining i will nuke you even if you are gargron, dansup or literal god
  • do not police my language, tone, or tell me to CW something unless you are my close friend.

I love that my new vet is email responsive and also does notices and appointment scheduling via text.

Now to just find a human doctor who is equally accessible. Spare me “but privacy! Has to be verbal!” Bullshit! You dont know its me when you call on the phone any more you know its me when you text the same fucking number. Plus if I need a friend to call on my behalf- which they allow - whose fucking privacy are you worried about?!

#esittely

Olen jyväskyläläinen kuurosokea ja kahden CODA-lapsen äiti. Puhun suomea ja toinen äidinkieleni on suomalainen viittomakieli. Käytän päivittäin valkoista keppiä ja minulla on käytössä sisäkorvaistutteet ja viiton myös taktiilisti, eli kädestä käteen. Minulla on Usherin oireyhtymä, tyyppi 3.

Tykkään neulontajutuista, juoda hyvää teetä, katsella hyviä TV-sarjoja ja elokuvia. Pelaan tietokoneella Genshin Impactia ja Nintendolla Animal Crossingia.

Lisäksi voit bongata meikän #pulina-kanavalta IRCstä.

PS. En osaa braillea.
