9## TL;DR
10
11> Some of them were copied from <https://t.me/ajhalili2006_bio/4> in part for when sliding into DMs.
12
131. [Don’t be a dick](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-author-speaks/201909/don-t-be-dick) (aka violent, discriminatory, disrespectful or even disturbing in any way).[^1]
142. Respect my preferred pronouns and avoid PFL (person-first language) in most cases.
153. Don’t ping me during downtime, sleep and day-offs. In case of emergencies, call me over my personal phone number that I provided or through provided contact methods.
16For sensitive manners (like reporting security related issues), use Keybase, Session or Matrix (make sure to enable EE2E when initiating an one-to-one chat with me). If you want to connect through Session, I’ll provide my public ID when needed.
174. No crypto nonsense (even I use mirror.xyz and some other dapps), NSFW or CSAM, self promo hellscape, doxxing, death/swatting threats or calls to violence towards me or anybody.
185. Future employers and recruiters: Please contact via email or LinkedIn only.
196. I only respond over Facebook Messenger on my main profile if:
20 * you know me IRL, including within the immediate family;
21 * or, you are either my class adviser/subject teacher/boss or workspace/academic/school colleague, either in the past or current.

25## Pronouns and Language
26
27My pronouns is `he/they` (technically `he/him/they/them` for long version), although `they/them` is much preferred even if I chose to be identified to my gender at birth.
28
29In terms of discussing about things relating to neurodiversity and disability, I prefer identity first, especially when discussing about my disability and things like neurodiversity,
30since I mostly frame ableism and other issues related to these under both social and human rights models of disability.
31You might check the [note on disabled and disability](https://www.thesaurus.com/e/writing/person-first-vs-identity-first-language/#note-on-disabled-and-disability) at thesaurus.com,
32especially when discussing accessibility across the community. I don’t usually gatekeep language relating to disability, although I might do when discrimination and bullying happens or when clarification is needed.
33
34## Availability
35
36When considering doing a synchronous meeting (or even doing a personal call with me),
37consider both my schedule, workload and the timezone (currently in Philippine Standard Time/`UTC+8`).
38In most days, I’ll be unavailable for contact from 21:00 to 09:30 the next day, although [this could change](#office-hours).
39I’m also unavailable on weekends and official holidays (both local within the city of Marilao and the
40province of Bulacan and national), so expect additional delays on replies if it’s a long weekend.
41
42## Communicating at work
43
44Generally, I’m not a fan of sync meetings, especially if iot is scheduled outside of my office hours in PH Standard Time.

59* I don't usually read email, but if you sent me some important emails
