Raven Judith Winters

Raven Judith Winters (she/it) is a trans woman located in PDX. It is known for acquiring skills in writing, photography, and computers. She regularly posts on her Mastodon account, this website, and has a synopsis of the last few years on her now page. Its photography is published into the creative commons for free at /photos. The Raven has so many interest in its life and she would love to keep exploring, learning, growing, creating art, being gay and just sharing her life with others. Likes: forests, mountains, Oregon coast, coffee, adventures, movies, computers, transit, bikes, Portland, scrub-role in surgery, science-stuff, n95s, sewing, privacy and security in tech, philosophy, ceramics, bjj, rock-climbing, backpacking, running, sailing, music, pineapple on pizza, leftism, workers-rights, silliness, headpats, and praise. check out my current playlist here.

where do you see yourself in `n` years?

5-years: badassery OUT THE WAZOO (motorcycle, RNFA, EMT, can write code decently well, Spanish fluency if possible?, debt-free, best fitness of my life, yadayada)
10-years: have traveled a lot of the world, go on big photography adventure trips, conversational in Mandarin, contribute code to a bigger open source project, and soooooooooo many other things and too many to list or even think of right now

learning

self-studying home-ec, computer science (learning C), photography, continuing education in nursing and medical understandings, music (guitar), financial and legal studies, writing, Spanish/ASL, badassery =)

dislikes

fucking Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. “AI” (hate hate hate), “crypto”/web3, mainstream social media, typing on phones sucks, lack of education around computers, and many more things in tech
disneyland, cruise ships, NIMBYs, true crime, sports-teams (except womens sports teams, those are cool and dandy), cars, “consultants”, harry potter (booooo), Star Wars (except one specific cut), that we don’t tax the rich enough, purity culture, and fucking centrists
that not everyone in the entire world has their basic needs met yet, wtf are we even doing as a species??
colleges equaling careers. should be able to learn anything you want. all knowledge should be free. u can do anything.
