I present you my blog

Hello, people from WriteFreely and the known fediverse! My name is Valeria, Val for short. I’m a trans woman born in 1994, born in Mexico city and living in the metropolitan area of the mentioned one. And this is the first entry of I hope a lot in my little personal space. Welcome, everyone.

Among many other things, I’m a queer webcomic translator, occasional gamer, enthusiast for the popularization of the Linux Desktop, and now apparently starting in the world of blog writing. You can see basically everything I do on my social media links, located on the contact page of the instance.

This project is stored in a small server I have in my house, and really it is a personal whim which I had fantasized about for a long time. Since a few years ago I have wanted to deploy this little server just for the pleasure of doing it, and I originally wanted all of the backend (or the wires connecting what you don’t see) to be done completely from scratch by me, for the simple experience of learning how to do build and maintain it. But in the end, I choose WriteFreely for its interconnection with the fediverse, which provides more flexibility to connect with what I write.

Also a thing that I tried for blogging was from when I had my Mastodon account on the TKZ instance, since Trankten did a great job linking the posts from his instance to a rudimentary blogging system. But I personally think it’s a little limited for what I intent to do, so I said, «better not».

And what do I plan to post over here? Well, not much, really. Honestly, I think this blog may be useful for me to vent big thoughts that I can’t write in a standard post on a traditional social network. So I even consider it somewhat therapeutic.

But it’s not the only thing I’d post. I’d also post tutorials for the things I like to do, or simple help posts. I may not be the most intelligent, but if it can be helpful to someone, I’ll gladly do it. I think the knowledge must not be privative, but shared.

I’d also like to leave here a somewhat recent photo of the admin in the workplace restroom. This with the purpose of making this more human and personal.

So I hope you enjoy this little space from my heart. See you later.
