I'm writing a novel. The protagonist is born in the future. He makes mistakes, partly because he struggles to understand social norms. That's fine because the future is more inclusive and understanding and helpful. He accidentally time travels to the present and will never return to the future. He's not prepared for how evil the present is in comparison. He faces exclusion in the present. Some (but not all) of the inspiration is overwhelming thoughts/emotions (including feeling hurt and excluded) that I had after I accidentally found out that my writergram role model pressed the restrict button on my Instagram account.
I'm making a Catholic dating app. It will be libre and not be funded by anything other than donations. No paid features. I'm not actually building it from scratch, it's a fork (modified version) of Duolicious, an already existing dating app. Forking Duolicious is possible because it's libre. See Richard Stallman's ted talk for an introduction to the libre software philosophy (also known as "free software", in which "free" means "freedom", not "free of charge").

I'm Catholic.
In April 2023, during an all-school retreat, I suddenly went to confession and started practicing Catholicism again. It felt like a dream. I took initiative in starting going to Mass again despite my family stopping long before.
I named one of my Rust libraries "i_love_jesus". It's unrelated to Jesus.
personality type: infp
i want to change the world
i'm described as non-judgmental
The top priority right now is to end the first-past-the-post voting system. That's what will enable someone like Peter Sonski to win some day.
Deportation is rarely or never the right choice.
No one deserves the death penalty.
Today's monetary economic system is repulsive, even if it's the best system so far. Nearly everything the government does to it is bandaid solutions, and it's hard for me to know which bandaid solutions to support. I am interested in The Venus Project but my opinion of it is complicated. The government should stop doing things that unjustly hinder progress away from use of money, such as property tax and patents.
Politicians are obligated to declare and pursue a goal of abortions never happening. "Safe, legal, rare" is not okay. Abortion bans must be carefully designed to not make doctors afraid of getting in trouble for something other than abortion.
Medical schools should be required to teach about alternatives to unethical things, in order to prevent situations such as doctors falsely thinking an abortion is necessary, doctors recommending birth control pills in too many cases, doctors yelling at someone saying to get sterilized, etc.
We have a duty to vote in every election and fill the entire ballot.
I don't know how to label myself, other than independent.

I graduated from St. John Paul II Catholic High School in 2024.
Currently at Arizona State University (class of 2028, Polytechnic campus) for software engineering degree.
During Reddit's API controversy, I started contributing to Lemmy's server code to help it compete against Reddit. Got promoted to maintainer. (I worked my way up from "I dont see how this improves anything" to "we want to give you write permissions to the repo"!) Still unpaid. I improve performance, improve code style, review others' changes, implement part of new features, provide requested assistance, etc.
To reduce traffic, costs, and emissions, I avoid having premarital car. I usually use feet, bicycle, or bus. Occasionally I use someone else's car.
I was recently part of Outreach Choir at ASU. Members sing to elderly people at assisted living communities.
I'm sometimes at improv jams at Holy Smoke Comedy. One time we were playing party quirks, and I was a gun, and when I entered I said "oh shoot".
I'm single and I'm called to marriage, but I'm not open to pursuing romantic relationships yet. I made this decision in April 2026.
My future wife needs to be someone who is Catholic, creative, and wants to change the world.
