Okay here goes; hi, hello, hola, hallo, bonjour, سلام , kumusta.
I'm guillaume. I'm #gay, #neurodivergent, and new around here. Originally from Normandy, currently based in #Massachusetts, by way of Réunion island, Toulouse, and San Francisco.
Originally a #physics engineer who used to work in #microelectronics and #nanotechnology. Now doing #strategy, revenue, and future thinking for Wikipedia.
And because the answer involves not just creating the directive, but also subclassing the rst2html5 writer, now I remember why I unhelpfully left it as an exercise for then-future-and-now-current me. *cracks knuckles, cracks neck* I can do this.
I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
English or Français is best. Puedo hablar un poquitito de español pero muy lentamente. Nur kann ich ein bißchen Deutsch sprechen. Slowly getting started on Arabic and even more slowly on Tagalog.
Judging by my twitter feed, what you may reasonably expect from this account is: puns, memes, wiki stuff, random thoughts, and (mis)adventures in gay dating.
I'm just trying to leave people and places with a little more wisdom, beauty, and kindness than I found them with.
You might find me rewatching Pushing Daisies, The Good Place, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica (2004), Hannah Gadsby, various Star Trek and Marvel stuff, Amélie Poulain, The Thing About Harry, Coco, Azur & Asmar, or Wall•E.
Music tastes are a bit all over the place but I have a soft spot for soundtrack music, Pink Martini, Laurent Voulzy, Arvo Pärt, Nina Simone, Eva Cassidy, Simon & Garfunkel, Dolly Parton, and Motown music.
I love to learn and read about a bunch of stuff. I practice #tsundoku without guilt and I'm slowly making my way through my ever-growing antilibrary. I recently got into #comics. I'm probably building something out of #Lego bricks right now, or doing #powerlifting, or trying not to maim myself learning #woodworking. These days I'm spending a lot of time rebuilding my outdated website.

Make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan.
