This profile is queer. Posts: roller coasters, cats, events local to 614. Some self promotion of my music education career (violinists are welcome to follow).

I realized that I haven’t properly introduced myself here, so: hi!

Much like other queer people, I came here from the exodus of other platforms that have made it possible to discriminate against us. For my mental health, I have to be someplace with more control, and that seems to be here for now.
I’ve been using “gogh” a lot recently to get things done. It’s a little app with a lot of potential.

You make an avatar and they work in the space as you do. Your friends can make avatars and they can body double (although I haven’t used that yet).

Went for a walk instead of going to the DMV. Oops. Chalk it up to a shade thing, the road to the DMV was blocked! So I got outside peace time instead

With the loop AND without!
March 4 is National Sons Day ...so what better day than today to share some pictures of Son of Beast which opened at Kings Island in 2000 and officially closed in 2009.

Were you one of the lucky riders who got the chance to experience Son of Beast?

Rose colors will vary,
Nazis oughta be quieted.
Trans women led Stonewall,
We parade ‘cause they rioted.

Love you all, Valentines. 💘🏳️‍⚧️

Entirely, entirely, ENTIRELY with NO CONTEXT, but:

Gods, I missed you SO MUCH.

Has anybody else on here full out quit soda? Asking for a friend (okay, asking for me).

Definitely just pulled up Threads for no reason and tried to like something by pressing the same spot in BlueSky.

I think I’m here to stay.

Anybody else going to @lostlandsfestival.com? Because I just ran into Becky yesterday

Today I’d like to talk about Oliver. #cat

Yes, there will be lots of pictures. I want to talk about all of my cats (there are five of them, don’t ask).

In 2019, I was *not okay.* I don’t have to get into details to tell you I was very mentally ill. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

tw self hate

All I can do is do my best to not let the news of the day get to me. There are MANY other people who will fight the good fight, process the news correctly, organize, and resist.

Resisting for me usually translates into wanting to eliminate myself. From the situation. From the world.

I don’t know what to post yet, because I’m too busy thinking about what the algorithm will like, when in reality I can post whatever I like without people throwing a fit. So idk. Have some more cat pics first.

This is Oliver. Contrary to pawpular belief, he is the Love of My Life.

Ooh, I’m in!

1 like = 1 thing I love
This is a pleasing meme. I will talk about nice things and I'd love to hear about yours.

1 like = 1 thing I love
This is great!

1 like = 1 thing I love

So I’ve been here like a day and I’m sure there are things not so great about this place. But I really love the interface so far at least.

Picture of Joey for tax.
