hi! i'm aria.
i'm a 20 year old trans woman (pronouns are it/she if you care at all!) based in buffalo, ny. i'm mostly known online for helping out at besties (which itself is known for git.gay and various other spaces online), and my media restoration work.
i'm a firm believer in preserving online and animation history and am kinda okay at programming things that work. don't ever hesitate to reach out, i love making new friends!! below are some of my socials:
twitter (most active here!!!), the fediverse, last.fm and more (like discord, signal, matrix, and everything you can reasonably think of) over here!
what are some specifics?
great question! here's a list of my current projects.
- television archival and restoration - i have a particular fascination for western animation and the general 1990's era of north american television! i've also restored a few television shows that have the status of "cult classics" such as duckman, kablam and whatever happened to robot jones?
- programming - i haven't been able to do much of it lately because i've been so busy with other crap in my life, but i do occasionally code things. mostly to aid in archiving stuff. find all my crap over here
- archiving internet bullcrap - i've been on the internet pretty much unmonitored for most of my life. did it screw me up in the head? certainly. but i also love the internet and it's unwavering stream of creativity it has to offer. i have a ton of videos saved from it since 2016ish and i plan to slowly make them available on archive.org. i plan to make a dedicated page for this effort eventually.
