All About tozka
Hello! tozka is my internet pseud and comes from this eX-Girl song title which I listened to maybe 20 years ago and imprinted on. 
At the moment I'm a self-employed blogger, catsitter, and general ne'er-do-well. I'm currently catsitting around the US for a bit, mostly to be within closer range to my family, but before this I was traveling around the world for a few years.
My hobbies are things like reading, writing, watching Youtube, playing video games, the normal stuff. I also like visiting museums and historical sites, and watching critters from various windows around the world.
I have too much free time so I spend it hacking apart HTML codes and trying to mush them into my monstrous personal site. I know basic HTML and enough CSS to be dangerous, but I'm also too lazy to do really intricate layouts or extreme coding, so here we are.
Oh, more about me? Okay.
I really like fanfic, fandom, and people taking something they love and making something new from it. My fandom history can be found here if you're nosy.
Current non-fandom interests include: FOSS, internet history (particularly 1990s-2010s), the indie web, queer history, world travel, solarpunk/gardening/permaculture, stage musicals, and zines.
