Gods. I've been reading a steady stream of books lately, but Holly Black has been absolutely slaying it. She really does have a vicious knack for portraying trauma and extremely complicated characters who have been hurt badly and go through life protecting themselves and making situations worse and more fucked up in the pursuit of avoiding further harm.

Attempting to write a blurb for my consulting website, since I have some availability in about a month.

Trying to write ad copy for yourself sucks ass. Especially when the executive summary is "Hello hire me so I can help you make Cool Shit, or unfuck your existing shit so it can realize its latent Cool Shit Potential".

if you need help Building or Unfucking some Cool Shit.

I specialize in Rust, Embedded Systems, and Rapid Prototyping (building the Right Cool Shit for Right Now, very quickly).

I will offer you an unspecified discount if you contact me and have a cohost account older than this post.

tbh I used to use Twitter to "promote myself", mostly just building stuff and talking about it, which was enough for people to find me. It'd be real neat if I could use that for Cohost too.
