boringcactus (Melody Horn)

i am an immortal programming goddess and a trans ≈woman. i've been programming for over a decade, and in that time i've worked on a wide variety of projects. my pronouns are ze/hir or it/its, or, if you absolutely must for some reason, she/her.

a wide variety of projects

ze/hir or it/its, or, if you absolutely must for some reason, she/her

i exist in a lot of places:

see me retweet nonsense you don't care about on twitter
watch me occasionally stream things on twitch
watch various kinds of permanent video content on youtube
give me money once on ko-fi or on an ongoing basis on patreon
if you must, email me at `melody@<this domain>`

currently, by night i'm a masters student in computer science, and by even later night i intermittently work on side projects.

every once in a very great while i write things here:
