Bio? I'd rather talk about plants. Here are some things I know about nettle:
Nettle stings. Nettle is a plant. Nettle is nutritious food. Nettle is medicine. Nettle is used to make clothes. Nettle doesn't need pesticides or herbicides to thrive. Nettle growing is a sign of healthy soil.

I read nonlinearly. I chose 1. i read 2, skipped 3, read 4, assumed 3 was the same as 2 and 4 and moved on.
Sharing because i bet I'm not the only one who did that.
I don't like being pinned into boxes unless they are very accurate boxes, and boxes so rarely are.
Sharing names for these boxes can help make it so eg whiteness isn't the default assumption (i'm white), and that's important. but also i've literally sat here overthinking this on and off for hours and identity is too big. so if you need to fit me into a particular box, I'm here to get to know you and would be happy to have a conversation on the box or boxes of your interest.
2025 update to add: Just to be very clear, I value diversity. The US government should NOT be throwing conversations about identity out the window.
Things I think you should know about me: I try very hard, and I care a lot about you.
