I'm your friendly, wholesome, neighborhood genderqueer.

I post about plants, mental health, gender, polyamory, nerd shit, and occasionally cute selfies that I will most likely delete later.

Former comics podcaster and critic that no longer creates content for my own mental well-being.

Tell me your feelings and I'll kiss you.

I'm demisexual which means I'm a slut for emotional intelligence and honest open communication.

There is nothing more endearing than the ability to laugh at yourself.

Texted you!

I forgot these were sitting in my camera roll. I took @kidcryptid.bsky.social out to one of my favorite restaurants and everything was delicious 💖

X-Men has some of the greatest female characters in comics but the way they're always regressing those characters to some of their worst eras because apparently guys like 'em best that way sure is something

Gardening is magic because I was in bed in unbearable pain two hours ago and now I'm dancing in @charmgardens.com art

I am very smart and listened to a horror novel audio book before bed.

If I'm living rent free in your head it's only fair.

I have anxiety, everyone is living in my head.

Right now I need about one day a week spent mostly in bed.

Saturdays are coaching days and typically full of plans, so most Sundays are recovering and resting for the week ahead.

It feels strange to be both the strongest I've ever been and needing the most rest I've ever had.

Today I'm hit with a wave of nothing gold can stay.

You can call me Master Angler 🎣

I played the beta awhile ago but haven't picked back up Hades 2 yet because I'm currently locked in on completing my Stardew Valley fishing collection.

This is normal and makes sense.

I've heard good things about everything, but have you tried nothing though? Insanely cheap.

Sometimes @strictlyworse.bsky.social reminds me to do some really heavy gardening because it's good for me, and that I'm not week for needing that.

Lessons from being sick during a months long diagnostic process.

I have begun learning how to rest.
It's not a skill that comes easy to me.

I know how to rest my mind, but my body is currently incapable of sustaining my typical level of activity.
