Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.

Going to Toys R Us and being the paper slip for Goldeneye, bringing it to the checkout, and waiting for them to get the game was the best experience.
- Comment on TikTok Deal Done And It’s Somehow The Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything Worse 2 weeks ago:
Tiktok US deal; this is just for the US users. Tiktok global doesn’t change.
Essentially the US just siloed all the US users together and cut them off from the rest of the world and they’re about to find out just how little of the US were on Tiktok.

I don’t understand why they need GenAI for placeholders; part of the fun of the creative process is coming up with fun, crude drawings that are clear placeholders.
