    It’s a line from a Pink Floyd song. I like the fact that when people see my name, if they know the song, they probably hear it in their heads. This is especially poignant since I once had a love like no other- it was our song. He died, but he would have loved my username. He would have loved Lemmy, too.

      Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?

      I’m sorry for your loss, I hope you are doing well now.

        Yes, I am, thanks. I lost him in 2018. He will always be “my one”- but I’m over 50 now, and looking forward to my solo future.

    In electrical engineering, a thevenin equivalent circuit is a small, simplified circuit that mimics the behavior of a large, complicated one for the purposes of calculation.

    Whenever I talk on forums, I make effort to distill ideas that are often nuanced and math-heavy into something everyone can relate to. The thought once struck me that I’m making a thevenin equivalent of myself, and the name stuck.

    I’m half Korean, 6’ 230lb. My martial arts instructor said to me, “You’re the biggest fucking Korean I’ve ever seen.” So Giant Korean just kind of stuck.

    I chose mine for two reasons: the first lofi hip hop song I listened to was titled wet season and everyone on social media shortened season to szn so I adopted the name with the shorter spelling. And my second reason is because I love the rain and the smell of the earth after it’s been raining :)

    In French the word “Didascalie” is used for stage directions, often scribbled in the edges of a play, oftentimes by the author. “Les” indicates a plural, so my name would read “Les didascalies”, or “the author’s notes”.

    It pronounces basically the same as Lady Dascalie, hence where the name came from.

    In Anarchism one of our most influential books is The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, also known as the Bread book. I needed to burn my old social handles and at the time the anarchist meme sub reddits would call our dank memes yeasty memes (since bread) and so I chose the name AnarchoYeasty

    It’s a tribute to my husband and love for Studio Ghibli movies, specifically Howl’s Moving Castle. He is my Howl and I am his Sophie ☺

    I like frogs.

    I also like to change usernames on a semi-regular basis, so it was time for a change, and this is the first time in a really long time that I’ve been able to have a four-letter noun as a username. So I shall celebrate the joy of being simply “frog”.
