So in today's edition of #screenreader problems: reading a book with a #Japanese character named Mami is deeply disconcerting, because my screen reader pronounces it "mommy". I just thought...the character was weirdly being called mom by everyone until I finally stopped to check the spelling. Screen readers of the time are also why I thought "anime" rimed with "time" until I was like 14. Uselessly, looking it up online gives me four different examples of how to pronounce Mami, all with different emphasis and "a" sounds. Including one joker who really is pronouncing it exactly like "mommy". So I dunno.

#Introduction for my (recreated) solo instance
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Hello! I go by Leora online, late-20s, pronouns she/her 
❥ I am happily married! 
❥ I am a 🐈 #cat mom to 3 and a 🐶 #doggo mom to 1 very crazy #whippet. I will likely be posting a lot of pictures of my #cats Saria, Majora, and Link, along with the occasional Mabel picture.
❥ I am a Linux Server Administrator. 
❥ I currently live in Arkansas in the US, but I'm trying my hardest to relocate out of the South for obvious reasons. 
❥ My memory is absolutely terrible, can't really recall a majority of my past. 
❥ I’m reasonably confident in my programming ability; my projects are often less so. 
❥ Took a 🇯🇵 #Japanese language course in high school only to forget it all the next year. Currently working on relearning what I've forgotten.
❥ Use to be super involved with 🎭 #theatre. I was in a mime troupe in high school; I learned mime stuff, stilt & ball walking, small bit of 🤸 acrobatic stuff, diabolo stuff. I was active on stage and behind the curtains for several shows throughout high school and college. My social anxiety has mostly put an end to that chapter of my life, though.
❥ In my free time I'm either tinkering with my 
#homelab, watching 
#jellyfin or youtube, 
reading #manga or #webtoons, 
playing video games (sometimes on #Twitch), or taking 📸 pictures of my cats.
Feel free to add me, I enjoy meeting new people!

I dunno what it is, but something about Dreamy Train makes it the perfect #cozy#audiogame. I wish it had an #English dub or official English translation from #Japanese, though Google Translate works fine. Yes, it's simple (you can play the entire thing with three buttons), but...I dunno. Something about driving my train through a continent obviously based on Japan with a vaguely Cute Japanese woman giving me instructions in a language I don't speak is really Zen. Transport World Simulator and Tube Sim just stress me out. But Dreamy Train has just enough to keep my attention, without getting my adrenaline up, and enough content not to feel too repetitive or grindy. mm-galabo.com/dreamytrain/#a11y

Walking around Kyoto and seeing beauty around every corner. The train passing by becomes an art work and an attraction.

#Bonsai I worked on today. Happy with how it looks for the time being. Spring will call for a little more wiring and some defoliation.
