A grayscale photograph of me. I have white skin, silvery hair, and a pair of glasses framing a set of wide eyes. I'm smiling and looking off to the right.

hello! i'm cathryn

i'm a thirty-year-old trans non-binary woman by the shores of the Salish Sea, in an area known as Seattle that's been inhabited by the people of the inside and the people of the lake - united now as the dxʷdəwʔabš (Duwamish) tribe - for tens of thousands of years.

i enjoy connecting with people, writing, making art, helping people figure stuff out, taking pictures, engaging with the works others make, messing around with computers, and otherwise doing my best to be a human in this weird age. i write software to pay my bills and hopefully make it easier to stay safe digitally.

stuff i help with

  • health in the anthropocene

    a slow-growing and informal collection of resources for protecting yourself and others from emergent health threats in an era of public health disinvestment.
