Uh hi, I'm Ellie (She/Her)! I'm just a lurker trying to figure her way through the Fediverse at the moment―so, uh, please be patient with me. I'm not exactly the greatest with people, so I tend to be quiet and lurk a lot, but I'm pretty excitable and affectionate once I start feeling comfortable!

A little background about me: I'm a 24-year old sapphic, Asian-American, AuDHD trans woman with a passionate curiosity and drive for art/drawing, gaming and game development, writing and reading, sciences and humanities, anime and manga. I've been on HRT since June 6-7 2022 and I'm self-diagnosed since not only the evidence for my being AuDHD can't be explained by any other disorders―it's also so difficult to get a proper autism and ADHD assessment from reliable professionals these days.

I'm primarily used to reddit―I never used Twitter, I don't even know the "proper" way to use hashtags, please forgive any missteps―so, uh, I'll need some time to adjust to this new environment. But I'm hoping to explore the rest of the Fediverse and carve out my own niche!

This is basically a more comprehensive list of my intersecting identities/things I'm interested in:

@Nadlie7 welcome! Glad to have you! I'm not sure there is a right way to use hashtags, but I know the community here cares about accessibility, so we like to use alt text, and to make hashtags more screen reader friendly we try to CamelCase them. I hope that helps and that you enjoy your time here!
