hiya!

i'm redcathode, or red for short.

if you know me already, it's probably because i'm part of some community you're in—i don't exactly have a massive public-facing online presence—but i figured it'd be cool to make a website anyway :p

here's some occasional stuff i do:

main things

• long-form content: redcatho.de/blog
• random braindumps: @max@wetdry.world
• current on-and-off project: recreating the dormio, and maybe adding on some stuff in the process
• ask me random questions: retrospring.net/@redcathode

other interests

• i write stories sometimes. most of them go unpublished but i might put some on /blog eventually
• i find psychology/psychiatry kinda interesting. atm i mostly just read random literature and psychiatry at the margins, but i'm leaning a bit more into it—feel free to lmk if there's anything you think i'd find interesting
