## The Site

{{ sitemeta.siteName }} is a literal queer-coded website (as in, this website is coded by a queer person) that serves as a personal hub for my interests and self-expression, as well as my own corner on the internet outside social media platforms.

On this site, you can find various stuff I have created or curated, as well as articles dedicated to my interests.

Feel free to drop a message and say hi on [my guestbook](/guestbook)!

`{{ sitemeta.siteDomain }}` is hosted on [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/).

Originally, {{ sitemeta.siteName }} was hosted on [Neocities](https://neocities.org/) exclusively. While I am still deploying this site to Neocities, visiting `leilukin.neocities.org` will redirect you to `leilukin.com`. That said, if you also have a Neocities account, you can still follow me through [my Neocities profile](https://neocities.org/site/leilukin).

## The Webmaster

![Avatar of a drawing of Leilukin bee](/assets/leilukin/leilukin-bee.png){style="border-radius: 50%; width: 15rem; margin: 0.5em auto;"}

You can call me {{ sitemeta.siteAuthor.name }}. I am a Malaysian Chinese, queer, non-binary lesbian born in the early 90s. My pronouns are they/them and she/her in English, [他]{lang="zh"} and [她]{lang="zh"} in Chinese.

I speak Mandarin, English, Cantonese and Malay, though I am most fluent in Mandarin and English.

I am also autistic, so I use this website as a platform to catalogue my interests.

Social media platforms you can find me on:

* <i class="fa-brands fa-tumblr"></i> [Tumblr](https://lesbiannova.tumblr.com/)
* <i class="fa-brands fa-youtube"></i> [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/Leilukin)
* <i class="fa-brands fa-twitter"></i> [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Leilukin)

However, I am most active on Tumblr, so if you want to interact with me on a social media platform, Tumblr would be the best option.

I also have media catalogues online on the following platforms:
