<p>Ktistec is taking steps toward supporting multiple users. The first (small) step removes the actor panel from the unauthenticated home page and replaces it with a site description. You can see this in action at <a href="https://epiktistes.com/" rel="nofollow">epiktistes.com</a>. The site description is managed on the settings page using the same rich text editor used to edit posts. See the <a href="https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec?tab=readme-ov-file#site-description" rel="nofollow">README</a> for more information.</p><p>Other changes in this release:</p><p>Added</p><p>Support a &quot;site description&quot; on the unauthenticated home page.<br>Support autofocus on onboarding and authentication forms.<br>Add trix_editor view helper.</p><p>Changed</p><p>Remove accounts from unauthenticated home page.<br>Persist timeline filters in session.</p><p>Fixed</p><p>Exclude abstract classes from all_types output.

<p>Hi everyone! I don&#x27;t know what happened to my pinned introduction, so here is a somewhat new one.</p><p>I&#x27;ve been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.</p><p>I&#x27;m a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it&#x27;s the first time I&#x27;m having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You&#x27;ll never get just one thing with me and my website.</p><p>As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I&#x27;m not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It&#x27;s just that novellas are my comfort zone.</p><p>My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I&#x27;m extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don&#x27;t shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.</p><p>That being said, if you don&#x27;t like angsty Romances, I&#x27;m probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that&#x27;s lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.</p><p>My blog/website has everything about me. It&#x27;s the best way to get inside of my head. I don&#x27;t use video based spaces often because I&#x27;m blind so video spaces really don&#x27;t interest me.</p><p>My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.</p><p>I listen to podcasts religiously, especially fiction podcasts. Podcast audiobooks. Fiction audio dramas. All kinds of fiction podcasts.</p><p>I&#x27;m an audiobook reader.</p><p>I love reading character driven stories.</p><p>Some additional things that bring me profound joy.</p><p>Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That&#x27;s how much I love them!</p><p>I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.</p><p>I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that&#x27;s when I&#x27;m doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.</p><p>I&#x27;m huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.</p><p>I&#x27;m a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.</p><p>As for links, the only two links of mine you&#x27;ll need are below but I also included an interview link.</p><p>My podcast, <a href="https://weirdwritings.pinecast.co/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>weirdwritings.pinecast.co/</a> </p><p>My website. <a href="https://sightlessscribbles.com/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>sightlessscribbles.com/</a> </p><p>Interview with me on Fediverse <a href="/tags/accessibility/" rel="tag">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://audio.firesidefedi.live/@firesidefedi/episodes/robert-kingett-accessibility-in-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="audio.firesidefedi.live/@firesidefedi/episodes/robert-kingett-accessibility-in-the-fediverse"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">audio.firesidefedi.live/@fires</span><span class="invisible">idefedi/episodes/robert-kingett-accessibility-in-the-fediverse</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/intro/" rel="tag">#Intro</a> <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#Introduction</a> <a href="/tags/introductions/" rel="tag">#Introductions</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/romance/" rel="tag">#Romance</a> <a href="/tags/romancelandia/" rel="tag">#RomanceLandia</a></p>
