chanter1944Yikes! I'm late! Better late than never? :)
In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
If you already have a sticky post or full bio, make sure they’re up to date so that people visiting your journal can learn something about you. Update your interests; make sure your fic posts are current; check that all your links work, etc. If you don’t already have a post introducing yourself, create one!
My profile is up to date as of a couple months ago, as are my interests. For completeness's sake, as well as for those who'd like to or may not otherwise know (trying to write profiles in the actual profile space is darn hard, for some reason), here are a few more details about yours truly. I'm thirty-something, CIS female but queer as the eponymous 3-dollar bill - pretty darn charcoal grey-asexual, biromantic and probably demiromantic, and kinky (not disclosing details unless asked) - proudly living in the upper Midwest of the States. Wisconsin is my home, and pretty likely always will be; I've tried living elsewhere and it does *not* work. I've been a towering nerd of multiple stripes since I can remember, so expect multiple and layered references to fly. I'm a fic writer as well as reader, I'm the author of one professionally published original poem so far, and I practice crowdfunded creativity besides. That's one for which I do have a relevant sticky.
I'm also both totally blind and nonautistic neurodiverse, to the tune of anxiety, dysthymia, synaesthesia and some unnamed but still evident unusual wiring throughout. The former two aren't fun. The latter two don't feel like bugs at all, despite what society might say. Telling society where to go stick its Shadow-touched ideas is an ongoing process. The blindness is, for me, just another aspect of who I am. I don't tend to say much on the subject of accessibility challenges or, especially, disability politics; I burned out on the political aspect of blindness years ago due to some truly horrible experiences, and I will not be going back. I did have a guide dog, one much-loved and dearly-missed velvet fuzzball of a mellow yellow lab, for over a decade. I don't believe I'll ever get another.
