About Me
I am Mouseborg
As it stands, this is by no means complete. I may forget things or things may change. This will update as necessary
Content Warning
The section titled "I have been through hell and back" discusses abuse and neglect. As it has great significance to my life, I figured it was important to include it here. It is not recommended to those who feel they are not in the right headspace or those who wish to shield themselves from the harsh realities others face to read that section. If you have or are suffering from something like what I faced or are someone who wishes to help those who are, read on. Right now, there might not be much. I feel, however, it is enough to merit a warning.
Take care of yourself.
With love,
J. L. Chipman

I am neurodivergent.
I have LSN (Low Support Needs) Autism, formerly known as Asperger Syndrome. I have been known to stim by rocking and clasping my hands together. I have been known to fidget. I suspect I have ADHD, however I neither received a formal diagnosis nor trust a self-diagnosis.
I am agender and pansexual.
This is something I have mulled over for a long time. I don't know if this is truly accurate to myself, but this is what I have concluded thus far.
Agender
This has made me think for a while.
The simplest way to describe it is this: I am not agender as in "no gender"; I am agender as in "a gender".
It's like the emotion you feel when you aren't feeling any emotion. Does that make sense? I feel like that doesn't make sense.
I feel a gender. just not any I can name. the only way to describe it, the way that fits best for me right now, is agender
Pansexual
I do feel romantic and sexual attraction to all genders (or lack therof). Needless to say (I hope), I am not attracted to everyone no more than cishets are attracted to all of the "opposite" gender.
I am antihierarchy/anti-elitist
I am firmly against hierarchies and elitism. I am also opposed to needless competition and all forms of oppression. However, it all falls out of the West's disturbing obsession with hierarchies and elitism.
I specifically use the term "antihierarchist" because it encompasses multiple things and because there is a certain group who are anarchists who are bigoted as all hell (not naming names, but if the shoe fits, you fuckers better wear it and all its consequences), which makes no fucking sense to me mainly because anarchism, communism, feminism, queer liberation, and other similar things, I believe, are the same concept applied to different areas of society.
A more specific, but by no means exhaustive, list of what hierarchies I am opposed to, in no particular order, are as follows:
- Capitalism
- Copyright(I use CC0 for a reason. Hint, hint)
- Gatekeeping
- All forms of bigotry (e.g. racism, sexism, queermisia)
- Any form of government
- Patriarchies
- Stalinist crap, Nazi crap
- Cross-generational fighting(Seriously, knock that shit off. It's pointless and stupid. All generations are shit. There. Now STFU about it.)
- Forced religion(Mainly Christianity at the moment because that's what dominates the West), forced pregnancy, hell, forced anything
I have been through hell and back.
For the first 8-10 years of my life, my brother and I were isolated and neglected. Sure we got food, clothes, and shelter, but we didn't go to school nor go outside much. That's because my parents are selfish assholes. The only good thing they did was break the brainwashing done to kids that parents, hell, anybody, should be blindly followed. Not that they intended this, mind you, nor that I realized it immediately(it didn't even register with me for a while after my grandparents took custody that there was a problem until Reality kicked me in the face.), but that's how the cookie crumbles.
Admittedly, for a time, I held right-wing values(not that they were extreme, mind you, but enough to say I did), which naturally meant I was a bit of a POS. Of course, that was most likely due to my isolation. After I went to live with my grandparents, I became more left-wing and, by definition, more sensible.
If I could choose whether I went through the hell I went through or not, I would gladly do so because it helped make me What I Am Today.
I am a furry.
I'm certain this comes as no surprise, especially since this fact is among the first things anyone who looks at my profiles and website sees.
To those who don't know (e.g. haters *clears throat*), a furry is someone who has an interest in, an association with, or a hobby related to anthropomorphic animals.
Not naming names, but attempts to claim it is anything else(unless I missed some details) will be met with me kicking your ass. Yes, there is a...sordid... side to it. Damn near everything has one (yes, even whatever stupid "counterexample" you're thinking of right now).
I have a Digital Form that I use to represent myself online (not a fursona), a fennec fursona that represents the chaos in my head, and a raccoon fursona that represents my usual calm exterior and the calmer parts of myself.
At the moment, the only thing receiving an actual image is my Digital Form, and even that is incomplete and janky. Stay tuned.
I also have a few OCs (that I'll stick under CC0) that, again, have yet to be realized, because of general burnout. Stay tuned on that as well.
I think I've been a furry from an early age. I just simply didn't know it at the time. Then again, I was isolated for the first 8-10 years of my life, so... yeah.

Random Crap that has no Home
- I don't try to cause harm. Most of the time, any harm I cause is through lack of better options at best, sheer ignorance at next-best, or outright stupidity at worst.
- I don't see any shame in giving the Devil his due; I do see shame, however, in not calling the Devil out on his bullshit.(Case in point: Damn near every other section on this page has some potshots at Drummyfish and his LRS troupe).
- The further back in the timeline you go, the more likely you'll see some stupid shit I did.
- If I screw up, tell me and I'll fix it.
- If I figure out I screwed up, I generally try to fix it. Sometimes I may leave my screw ups with a note on them for transparency or because I feel getting rid of it completely would be dishonest.
- I did see a therapist and am doing quite well, thank you very much.
- I tend to go with the flow, not that I won't change the flow if necessary, mind you, but sometimes things can't be changed.
- I can read and write C, Python, Javascript, and Scheme.
- Operant conditioning is not a substitute for morality, dumbasses.
- Koans don't go against logic; they go against your logic.
- I am more tolerant of someone saying "This isn't my cup of tea" or some form of that sentence and leaving it at that than I am someone pulling crap out of their ass rationalizing or moralizing in an attempt to justify it.
- It all works out in the end.
FAQ
Why does this look so basic?
I like the look and I can't be assed to do anything fancy.
Does this site use JS?
At the moment, no. I don't need it for anything and I would only use it for interactive stuff anyhow.
What's with the underlines?
The underlined texts has additional information that I don't know how to put in the main text and additional snarks. Try hovering your mouse over it to see it. If you're on mobile or don't have a mouse, you can just look at the source code. The text within is not critical, but it helps clarify some things.
What's with the accordion tags all over the place?
I think it keeps things organized and I like them.
