Alrighty. I’m sticking with the hashtag method to connect with folks. I think I’ll post this as a “thread” with different tags below. I don’t love being so hashtag forward, but I gotta diversify my feed here. Semi
#introduction because I’m still trying to figure out this site! 🙂
As previously mentioned, I live in #Anchorage #alaska. One time I went #fishing and caught a big fish. #halibut is my favorite fish!

#disabled #disability. #ableism is real, not a joke.

I was diagnosed with #ADHD this year. Can’t believe it took so long. Self diagnosing is valid. US #healthcare sucks, I’m not a fan.

I was also recently diagnosed with #EDS. I’m trying to learn how to not overextend my joints. Apparently, your shoulders aren’t supposed to dislocate when you sleep. Fascinating.

Disability is not a bad word. #Accessibility matters. Glad to see mastodon has image ID feature!

#COVID isn’t over! I’m still masking and avoiding crowded places. I also care about people getting used #booster and #flu shots! 😷💉. Oh, and I have #LongCOVID. I hope the #LC community grows on here, too.
#BringBackMasks
#Pets. I have a dog (Sparky) and a cat (Peter). Yes they are perfect
#caturday
#gardening. I love to grow lettuce indoors during #alaska winter. Right now, I'm growing eggplant! During the summer I’m p all about squash, beans, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. I’m still trying to develop my green thumb in the short growing season.
#plants #green #sustainability

I’m a #therapist by trade, pursuing licensure in my state. I graduated with my #masters in #clinicalpsych in 2020. #PandemicGrad!
I advocate for better #education funding, #housing, #transportation, #climatechange, #acab, #taxtherich.

Big fan of “the personal is political”

#research interests: #science #mentalhealth #suicide #prevention #chronicpain #depression #anxiety #youth #parenting #attachment #culture #healthcare access #bias #relationships

I want to go back to grad school. Someday

Oh, I love #paddling! Whether it’s #kayaking, #SUP #paddleboarding I’m all about it. I used to be a lifeguard, aquatic safety is important to me!

#introduction I failed to mention I love #music. Listening to it, making it, playing it, talking about it- I REALLY love music. I play the #piano and #viola, and am ambitiously taking up the #cello.

Some of my general genre go-to’s no particular order:

#PinkFloyd #Beyonce #PortugaltheMan #SirSly #alternative #Lizzo #TheDoors #MeghanTheeStallion #StillWoozy #FleetFoxes #Queen
#Chopin #Bach #Tchaïkovsky

#introduction (continued)

I mentioned this earlier, but I am *really* pro #Education. I’m a proud #firstgen student and #communitycollege grad

Education should be free! Im thankful Biden cancelled $10-20k for borrowers but that’s not enough. #StudentLoanDebt #CancelStudentLoans #EducationDebt

I’ve made it this far and failed to mention #birding. My favorite bird hands down is the #Puffin. I wish to see the birds of paradise before I die. I miss cardinals from when I lived on the #eastcoast.

What is your favorite bird &/or bird you want to see most?
#birder

#introduction continued- elongated muskrat is still making twitter worse. I’ve hung on bc I still have a good community there with people who aren’t on here. But I’m still trying to be on mastodon more and twitter less
So! Here are some of my interests, if you share them let’s follow each other?

@Nicolezeg I am *loving* #AbbottElementary so much!
@wiscomestique !!! Yes! I adore everything about this gift from Quinta! Do you have a favorite character? Sorry if that’s an impossible question bc each character is fantastic haha 😂
@Nicolezeg She’s done such a wonderful job making you really love each character! Honestly if I had to pick one, I think Gregory although Ava’s character has grown on me in the newest season. What about you? 😄
@wiscomestique Gregory is amazing. A neurodivergent icon for us all haha. I’m torn between Ava and Melissa! 😂
