Sloane. I'm in my 30s. They/Them. Polyamorous pagan. Self diagnosed ADHD with an official assessment in the works. I also suspect I also have autism, but I'm on the fence about asking for an official diagnosis. I don't talk about these things often (other people write about it better than I ever could), but I am pro-abortion, pro-disability accessibility, and pro-mental health care. Anti-Racism.
I use the term "queer." I was raised around women who identify as dykes. Words only have the power that you give them. Such is the way of the reclaimed slur. However, I also acknowledge that the gay community has co-opted a lot of Black culture. The doesn't automatically make someone LGBT+ not racist, nor excuse appropriation, or give us permission to use that word.
That said, 2 Spirit is a native term, not free for just anyone to use. Same for smudging. Closed cultures, religions, and their boundaries are to be respected.
I'm Norse heathen. No Frith With Fascists. My go to resource is Skald's Keep.
Trans rights are Human Rights. At best, I will ignore Harry Potter references and conversation. At worst, I'll just block without making a fuss. See next paragraph.
I don't engage much with fandom anymore, and I don't think I'm quite old enough to be considered a Fandom Old, but I'm pro-AO3, pro-shipping, etc. You curate your own online experience, and the block button is your friend.
Basically, if you're here to get puritanical and exclusionary: Don't.
I was in the military once. It's where I met my husband, who is still in service. It is what it is, and sometimes I talk about it.
Doing something as arbitrary as listing my interests is both easy and difficult. Sometimes it's an obscure interest that I don't know how to describe, and other times it seems so general that I still don't know how to describe it. (Probably because I'm overthinking it, but still XD). Over the last decade or so, the patterns and overlap have become clearer to me.
Behold what I have dubbed my Hyperfixation Rotation:

Behold what I have dubbed my Hyperfixation Rotation:
- Beading/Embroidery/Macrame
- Coding (HTML, Twine)
- Cooking, baking, dessert making and Home/Kitchen witchery
- Dinosaurs (Jurassic Park OT, Dinotopia)
- Electronic Dance Music (I don't know music genres well, but I know I like dubstep, if you use that as a musical litmus test)
- Fanfiction and Romance novels
- Game design (ttrpg, video games, story, mechanics, all of it!)
- Gilmore Girls
- Haiku
- Pixel art
- Retro gaming mediums (Interactive Fiction, Gameboy Advance)
- Tarot, and games that use tarot decks or themes
- Witchy media (Kiki's Delivery Service, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Uprooted, Circle of Three, etc.)
- W.I.T.C.H./magical girl group media (honorable mention to Totally Spies! and Power Rangers)
- Worldbuilding (this is so much easier than actual writing, in my opinion!)
