Hello | ᎣᏏᏲ edit

Hello! My name is Abby Bigaouette, welcome to my user page. I was born in Norman, Oklahoma on January 15, 2004. I am a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and currently live in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I am currently learning the Cherokee language as well as Japanese.

What the hell is ᎣᏏᏲ? edit

ᎣᏏᏲ (osiyo) is the Cherokee word for hello.

What's with the username? edit

The word abbyfluoroethane is a portmanteau of Abby and 1,1-Difluoroethane, the refrigerant commonly found in computer duster. I am not joking when I say it came to me in a dream.

What I'm like in meatspace edit

Since August 2022, I have been a graphic designer at the Tahlequah Daily Press, where I can frequently be found scrolling the Main Page of Wikipedia on my breaks. I have also done journalism, photography, 3D modeling, and graphic design in a freelance capacity since 2018.

I spend most of my free time talking to friends on Discord, working on various 3D printing or high-power rocketry projects, and playing the video games Kerbal Space Program and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
