Hi!
I'm Jude / :lapis:​ Either is fine.
I've published fiction (and am still trying to) under the name Rae A. Shell, but I will probably get confused if you call me that lol.

I live in Nebraska.
According to
native-land.ca/
I live on unsurrendered
Očhéthi Šakówiŋ
and
Pâri (Pawnee) land.

Currently unemployed, but hey, if you know of some ArcGIS or XML work where I live @ me.

If you are considering College / University in Nebraska: DM me so I can give you some details you won't get on tours.

I got my BA in Anthropology and came to the conclusion Anthropology is a colonialist pile of shit (You could totally decolonize Anthropology, but my classes never talked about that. It was just the white cishet allosexual abled patriarchy in the classes I took)

Fan of
or a lot of and games, not to mention ! Big :stardewvalley:​ fan too. is one of my special interests. I'm a big fan of / but we know that will never get a sequel :blobsob:​

Very much looking forward to so when rising (or the main game) comes out I probably won't shut up about it! That's what timed mutes are for lol.

I like getting sad listening to PS2 music :blobcheeky: If you see me mutter about Hymmnos / Ar Tonelico or Shadow Hearts, you know why!

I also like and I'm getting into and lately! I like reading and

(especially )

I'm a big fan, but I usually talk about that elsewhere!

Me defiendo bastante bien.

I have like 4-5 fediverse accounts, but lately don't have the energy for all of them, so I'm mainly on here, , and Booktoot.

I Boost a lot of pictures of Cats (and sometimes dogs) so if you don't like that, either turn off my ability to boost or mute those keywords.

I'm really shy so please interact (by posting/replying) before following!

Name Update 

I don't know how to put this, I feel stupid for needing this, but I want to try a name on.

The name "Jude" seems nice. I know (fictional) Judes of various genders, and I feel very strongly about this name the past few weeks or so.

lapis is still fine. I like that.

I don't feel strongly about Rae. I mean, if you need to refer to my work, sure, but otherwise I'm pretty sure I don't notice if anyone uses it lol.

Obviously don't use my legal name if you know it via paypal or whatever. No good, hate!

Sorry, is there a better way to do this? I can't seem to segue any conversations into it, and I don't think wikihow has a guide to this (with or without amazing art)

If you are thinking of college / grad school in Nebraska, please for the love of god @ me to get my thoughts. It's your life, but I feel like hearing from an alumni (that's not from the MBA program ) could really help you solidify your decision.

Heads up: I'm trying not to boost images that don't have alt text. (Alt text does not have to be in English)

So please don't take it personally if I don't boost your stuff, (I may still like it on a personal level) but I want to be helpful to people who need accessible images.

Invention Idea (that I'm pretty sure isn't super possible so don't tell me how undoable it is) 

How about a lamp that you can use to light things, but doesn't get give off heat??????????

How about biolumenescent lamps?

Okay.

I didn't mention it but I played some RF5 this morning, and I'll probably play some more.

It's not as hot yet as I anticipated, so possibly foolishly I'm going to try crocheting, and then I'll read webtoons, I just may be reading them sooner than I planned lol

growing up autistic is fun because everyone is like "wow you're so smart" because you know a lot of big words and so you test well in school but then you get into the real world and you can't take care of yourself or socialize or do anything that an adult needs to do and you realize that you're actually like, disabled and nobody wanted to tell you because they think being disabled is bad

what really blew my mind was every now and then in my reporting days I'd run into an old timer who knew shorthand. I never understood this. It's like dark majicks

@lapis similarly, I think we would have more adult painters if we didn't hand kindergarteners watercolors. It's a really demanding medium!

antisurveillance tip 

now that the last remnants of messaging privacy are seriously threatened, may i suggest: learn sign language and only send signed video messages from now on. you can be sure that no agency can automate reading them.

of course, if everyone did this, agencies for sure would try to develop methods to mass-surveil them. this would have the side effect of making all technology more accessible to deaf people, so consider that a gain.

😏
