About Chubs

christa as a pixel person Hi! I'm Christa (pronouns: ). I'm a queer, disabled, non-binary, polyamorous child of Filipine immigrants (that either makes me first or second-generation Filipine-American, depending on who you ask. I was born and raised in the US.) I love yapping and writing, and occasionally,people like to hire me for either in a professional capacity. I pride myself on cultivating intimacy and tight-knit communities. I currently hold positions as Anodyne's 2026 Community Curator. I'm also a non-fiction editor at Blood Tree Literature, and a poetry editor at JAKE. When I'm not trying to travel the world and running away from my problems, I'm based in NYC living with my spouse, Tubs and our two dogs.

Internet History

I've always been interested in technology and how it's advanced or hurt our means of relating to one another. I found the internet at young age because I lived in a town that was much further away from my peers. I often read as a portal for escape, and travelling to new worlds and lands was even more possible when I found out about the internet.

I started designing on Matmice when I was young and before COPPA passed (or, at the very least, enforced.) I probably should not have been on the internet at a young age, but became more involved with I joined Keypals Club International and their forums (which are no longer in existence post-2010.)

I've always loved interacting with others through digital means.
