New instance, new #introduction — hello, I’m Kake, I live in South London, and I like making things.
I make all my own clothes (except for socks), and I make patchworked textiles using my own hand-dyed fabrics. Sometimes I embroider them.
I’m part of the creator team on the Discworld MUD; in other words, I help to build a game that’s set in an immersive world made entirely out of words, and I do this with a mix of creative writing, bad puns, programming, bugfixing, and esoteric knowledge of a 30-year-old codebase. http://discworld.starturtle.net/
I’m good at cooking, but I’m mainly interested in simplifying it so it doesn’t take time away from the other things I want to do. I like to develop fast-to-prepare recipes with vegetables and pulses and wholegrains. I’m an omnivore, and I generally prefer fish to meat.
I spent several years writing an ongoing local history of the land and buildings along a road near my house, but I put this on pause after the pandemic started, when I ran out of the material I’d already researched. One day I might pick it up again. https://london-road-croydon.org/history/
Also, in no particular order, and not limited to: trans people are valid, immigrants make societies better, it’s OK to be fat, the Fediverse has a racism problem, women are not second-class citizens, Israel’s genocidal behaviour is an outrage, disabled people have value.
