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.

  • So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?

  • 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.

    Jump

  • I'd say probably The Adventures of Tintin just because it has the nostalgia value of not just being a show from my childhood but also memories of watching it every Sunday morning at my dad's house (he had HBO so it was rare to see it).
