Hello, residents of the Forums!
Long ago, when the comic was more pastel-y, I considered joining your ranks.
Then other stuff happened.
I have gotten multiple urges to join the forums lately. I was concerned for Jeph and moved by your show of support for JJ in your guest comic. Today's unveiling of Claire's trans identity demanded it: it was time to proclaim my appreciation of QC not just in an overly ecstatic thank you email to Jeph, but to the masses! (like others did on
mefi, but I figured I should go where QC-lovers congregate en masse)
Oh I suppose I should talk about me instead of just being all "I got to praise you like I should!"
I'm non-binary. I love fractals. I am really interested in learning the stories of growing up gendered and defying the norms, because cis or trans or otherwise the best of us say "we are more than this." Tumblr scares me.
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir opened my mind in more ways than I can name and I am eternally, eternally grateful. I like Mario. I am in Germany. Not because I am a German. It is late here. "Nein Deutsch" sounds like "No! German" to German people: the appropriate phrase is "kein Deutsch" and it rather accurately reflects my skill level.
I am really picky about my burgers.
Perhaps this is inappropriately idiosyncratic.
Peanuts.
Keep it questionable,
