hey everyone, my name is Clover, some of my interests include but are not limited to:

  • cooking
  • touching computers
  • biology/genetic engineering
  • chemistry
  • mechanical things/machines of all kinds

I’m in my early 20s and politically very much a communist, I had my edgier days back in my teens but I mellowed out and was quickly radicalized through second thought and hasanabi (people who make videos on youtube) and have since gone on to read books (unbelievable achievement) in order to understand more theory.

I love making Chinese and Arab food the most, I also love baking sweets, cheesecake is the best kind of cake :3

genderly speaking, I am a trans woman, which is something I only accepted fairly recently (in the past two years) after suppressing those feelings for a very long time due to life circumstances

transphobia

The British really fucked me when they exported their homophobia/transphobia to the middle east through colonization. The general imperialist destabilization and destruction in the region really doesn’t make things better either, especially with how thoroughly the NATO/CIA backed religious fundamentalist anti-communists have succeeded in wiping out progressive movements in the region, I’ll leave eventually, but stealth until then.

cri

anyway

I like making electronics and soldering, I even fully built and soldered and programmed a keyboard which is very comfy to type on it’s one of those weird looking keyboard that are split in two pieces and don’t have that many keys.

I’m somewhere on the autism spectrum and don’t like to go outside much, but when I do I sometimes like to go to quiet places that have nature and trees and walk around a bit and look at the birds or the leaves.

I enjoy shitposting and doing the whole ‘catgirl’ type thing occasionally, I also like table top rpgs (mainly DnD but I’ve been playing with a few others like starfinder).

oh I also like playing puzzle games and automation games, stuff like factorio, and roguelites are cool too (and yes I have also played Celeste as every trans girl does).

I like urbanism and trains and stuff too but that’s pretty standard around these parts from what I’ve seen. (finally, leftist unity through everyone agreeing trains are cool)

I think I’ve rambled on enough, I am glad to have found this place through a friend’s recommendation (shoutout @HornyOnMain@hexbear.net ), I was somewhat aware of hexbear before but only really looked into it after she told me more about it.

    ohhh it’s nice to see someone else from the region here! I’ve actually never talked to another trans person from here before, I should look for spaces with queer middle eastern people, I’d also like to chat more with you if you’re willing.

    Out of curiosity, is your custom keyboard n-rollover?

    it’s either 6 or 8-key rollover, I don’t remember which, arduino pro micros are somewhat limited especially since I’ve got almost 60 keys and was not willing to design a matrix (or incorporate a design) that can do the full rollover, I did look into it a little bit and there was a few articles on a key matrix design published by a Japanese person somewhere but it’s been more than a year so I don’t fully remember much about it.
