I love rain
& lightning & thunder.
A little break
from being aurally assaulted
by lawn & construction
& other such equipment.
Uncomfortable music subject: some tracks can trigger my #misophonia. Usually very glitchy music, or clicky sounds in the upper register, basically anything that gets close to nail biting or nail clipping (it is physically intensely uncomfortable to even write this toot!).
Some videos can be too hard to watch due to photo sensitivity, basically bright flashing colors on a dark background are the worst, and can induce discomfort and migraines. Certain movements can trigger motion sickness.

Sitting in the break room absolutely twitching with rage at the person eating carrots across from me.
I think it's time for a #reintroduction post. I've been on Mastodon since 2024 and hanging out at The Mended Drum for over a year, and I'm doing a bit of remodeling on my feed. I'd love to make some new friends, and I would also appreciate any hashtag recommendations to follow!

Likes: #reading, #concerts, #animals (especially #cats), #photography, glamping, dragons, spreadsheets, pockets, bubbles, word games/puzzles, #solarpunk, #sustainability, a little light yoga, and the Oxford comma.
Dislikes: patriarchy, bigotry, billionaires, cars, fossil fuels, ads, #misophonia, #perimenopause, summer, basketball (see: misophonia), cooking, running, clothes shopping, phone calls, and glitter.
I'll expound on some of my favorite authors, artists, genres, and titles in a thread.
Alter, bitterer Rauch 🤢 ich glaub neben Kopfhörern 🎧❤️ (die Typen neben mir sind echt ne akustische Zumutung) brauch ich demnächst ne Nasenklammer. Oder so kleine minicabins wie im Nachtzug. Ein Traum.
