I'm a newbie to all this, so go easy on me! Here's an intro post.
Call me Timber, I'm 24 years old, autistic, it/its pronouns.
I'm an artist, I'll probably end up posting doodles, and about my solo RPG campaigns (currently working on: iron valley, Ironsworn Starforged, as well as a solo run of microscope).
I'm Nonbinary, bi, and therian-adjacent as a part of the brainweird.
Hallo! I'm NAAN and I'm a Puerto Rican comicker! I love linguistics, languages and I follow the Mister Ed philosophy. I usually work on "Legendary Beings Ara & Celi," which is about a young girl, Miyara, chosen to become the successor to Ara, Angel of the Universe -- it's only too bad Miyara doesn't want the job or to do anything with Ara!
Currently on hiatus for some time due to Life Happenings the past few years but I hope to come back to it between this year and the next! (monkey's paw's curls somewhere)
I also work on other stuff, including two other stories such as a fictional band concept and short stories!
These get updated when they're updated. (The Warchick one should get a rehaul eventually next year.)
I'm also the founder of the Aradia Collective for Magical Girl Comics! Dedicated to creating, promoting and archiving magical girl comics. We're on Masto too! @aradiacollective
Then when I can actually breathe for a second, I induge in fannish things such as having One fansite and trying to contribute by being a very amateur archivist. You can check that over here @okilies
Happy to be on Sakurajima, I hope it all goes well!
I'm an award-winning author, primarily writing historical fiction but dabbling in other genres. I'm happily married, an empty-nester, and we are owned by several rescue cats. We also look after a feral cat colony and do TNR. I still have a day job, which I like most of the time (and I know what a blessing that is). I vote blue, support my LGBTQ+ friends and family, and am a proud SJW.
I also love Disney, all animals, reading, films, travel, and good food. I live with two autoimmune diseases that sometimes affect my ability to do these things.
Hey I'm Amy! I struggle to get paid for making smut, music, and other fun stuff.
I can rewire a light switch, solve the e^(-x^2) by hand, plumb a sink, fix a circuit, play guitar, write songs, care for animals, bake sourdough, and teach math to people that hate it but walking into target gives me a panic attack.
I also like to read and write stories and poems. I have a page on Facebook called Art is Air where I post most of my works. I also accept writing commissions when I can.
Hello, cutie.city and other instances and all ships at sea!
Welcome to Tamsin's Pinned Toot. Please enjoy your stay... unless you're a fascist, a racist, a transphobe, a homophobe, or any other flavor of garbage person, in which case please step on a LEGO forever.
What follows are a few things you might want to know about me if you plan to hang around.
So, who the heck am I?
Hi! I'm Tamsin: a white, middle-aged, queer, sapphic, nonbinary trans woman who likes doorstopper novels, director's cuts, extended remixes, table-top roleplaying games, 5-string basses, double-cutaway Les Paul Jr. guitars, beaches, forests, mountains, witchy things, living places that haven't outlawed her yet, late nights, lazy afternoons, and writing down half of everything she thinks.
I'm happily monogamously married to a polymath superhero, and we share our lives with my marvelous teenaged offspring, two adorable cats, and a host of delightful friends and co-conspirators.
When I talk about #gender and #sexuality, it's probably helpful to know that I have a degree in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies (with a focus on #feminist history, queer theory, and trans studies) from the University of Washington. Sometimes I joke that I had to get a degree to realize I'm a gay trans girl, which isn't quite true, but still makes me laugh.
I'm exactly the kind of person who likes prog rock, punk rock, post-punk, trip-hop, house, dark folk, black metal, '70s funk, old-school R&B, early rock'n'roll, acid rock, acid folk, blues, early music, minimalist composers, anime soundtracks, and everything Prince ever recorded.
I have a profound fear of spiders, heights, and isolation.
Sometimes I make things. I craft, I cook, I play (and occasionally run) role-playing games, I play (and occasionally write) music and songs. Most of all, though, I write: essays, poetry, stories, and—when I was feeling particularly sassy—a whole-ass book about gender, sexuality, and queerness for witches, Pagans, and occultists. (If you want to check that last one out, here's the publisher's page: https://llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738761329)
My politics are a simple story: I started out as a liberal in the 1980s and, flying in the face of conventional wisdom, became increasingly leftist as time went by. I support universal healthcare, universal basic income, BLM, antifa, indigenous rights, trans rights, queer resistance, sex workers, undocumented and migrant rights, disability rights, autistic people, plural folks, defunding the police, and radical inclusivity. I'm not an uncritical leftist, however, and I'm probably not ideologically pure enough for most movements. (Then again, I'm a gay trans girl, so most leftist movements don't want me around anyway.)
I have no quarter for fascism, racism, colonialism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, ableism, exclusionary gatekeepers. I think all modern conservative movements are intrinsically evil, and if that describes you, exit the ride now. You're gonna have a real bad time otherwise. (I also recommend fixing your heart or, alternately, dying in a fire. Your choice.)
I've never been one of the Cool Kids™, and I never will be. I'm just an middle-aged geek.girl: sad in some ways, happy in many others, with a messy bookstore for a brain and a whirlwind of a heart which loves fiercely, if sometimes clumsily.
I've been here for a while. I feel a second #intropost#introduction is in order. I have a masters degree in vocal pedagogy and performance. I love D&D. I shitpost a bit. I'm a leftie pinko commie.
