Ms-Demeanor
Hi there, I'm Ms-Demeanor. I am a hacker barista/blogger/curmudgeon from Los Angeles. I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and also went to school for Journalism, Nutrition, and Visual Arts. I am the vocalist in queer punk band P.I.T. and I made very bad cartoons for a mid 2010s pop feminist website.
Early Life
Weird little kid raised by debaters and literal circus freaks.
Personal Life
I have ADHD that was diagnosed in my thirties, which explained a lot. I'm married to an antisocial giant who I met at a coffee shop; our first date was a hacker conference. I like reading, writing, researching, arguing, and I have 0% chill.
Professional Life
I have held many jobs including:
- Wedding Photographer
- Pornographer
- Barista
- Gun Store Cashier
- Managing Editor
- Barista Again
- Print Layout Designer and Art Director
- Art Director
- Purchaser
- Cartoonist
Buck-Wild Personal Stories

- [Working at the Coffee Shop]
- [Do not attempt to out-malicious-compliance the malicious compliance conference]
(others added as I remember to link them)
Musings and Essays
- Security Nihilism
- [Rain in the desert]
