I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.

    For the last year and a half I’ve been writing and drawing a fluffy, sapphic comic based on a very unserious British science-fiction show about a time travelling alien in a blue box (4 chapters so far). It’s on AO3.

    Has anyone asked OP what they create? What do you create, OP?

    A bunch of FOSS hardware and software. https://twystlock.com was my latest creation. My next is a suite of modular open source home automation sensors including everything from air quality to mmWave presence.

    In a more “professional” FOSS sense I just presented a new federated identity management system at IIW based on ActivityPub and OpenID Connect: https://fedid.me.

    I also make a lot of behind the scenes algorithms.

    I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.

    So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.

    I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.

    It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.

    It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.

    I had a shop that made flaming nipple tassels, though I just closed down until the future is more certain. I also create sideshow and fire performances. My most recent one involves a drill and my skull.

    And finally, a lot of D&D content, such as an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck

    I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.

    As a welder, I create a ton of shit. Today, I created a new handle for a lathe, cut off the old one, and bolted on my part so the lathe functions (mostly).
