#introduction I'm a white hetero cis-male that lives in the USA.
Using Emacs, I write software, TTRPG session reports, short essays, documentation, open letters, and sometimes a bit of poetry.
Most of the non-software writing is on [my personal writing](https://takeonrules.com). I also tend to charter up working groups in the FOSS [Samvera](https://samvera.org) project.
