Hey there, I’m Hemi. I like to work online while living in Portugal. I am a fan of Palestine, collective liberation, and N95 Aura respirators.

Pronouns: she/her

Visual description of my avatar: I have a red face mask, light skin, blue hair and pink bows on my head. I wear a black blazer with a white shirt underneath and a green skirt.

Visual description of myself IRL (in real life): I have straight black hair and glasses. I am a light-skinned Korean American in my 40s who was born in Brazil.

More information about me:

I'm interested in making friends and also finding company as I develop an online-oriented life. It's my COVID mitigation strategy, as I avoid in-person gatherings. When I do go indoors or outdoors to do so, I wear a high-quality mask. I've been lucky to be able to choose work-from-home and make other lifestyle decisions that I wish more people could make. For example, I am trying to switch careers and get into the tech sector to eventually work as a software developer.

I am vegan and continually horrified by the genocide that is happening in Gaza. Currently, I'm consumed with concern for the atrocities we are witnessing right now in Palestine and would love to connect with others who are trying to build a world to enact a ceasefire now and end the occupation.

I like cats, donkeys and before 2020, I used to love board-gaming as a way to socialize. I also have access to video games and like cozy and casual ones like Stardew Valley, Pokemon Go and Ingress.
