So, #introduction time!

Not from around here, but I have been in #Moncton since August, and I am loving #NewBrunswick - and the #Maritimes - so far.

#LGBTQ and, as it says on my bio, when I am not studying #QualityAssurance testing at #NBCC or working as a Web Developer (mainly with #Javascript #Nextjs #Python and #AWS), I write fanfiction to some fandoms which shall not be named here.

I am 100% certain that the internet was made by #cats (and for #CatVideos and #CatsGIFs...).

First #snow of the year in #Moncton! (And my first snow since moving here) 😍😍😍
