Intro practice (from a new Discord server)

I've been trying to keep one foot in academia (mostly LGBTQ+ caregiving and aging) and one in community health (COVID cautious, combatting health disparities), but increasingly I just want to support the powerful Disability Justice spaces that are emerging as a facilitator, capacity-builder, and networker. I'm terrible at policy/advocacy but engage with many other realms of cultural and political resistance. I maintain a small newsletter and would be happy to boost your virtual and CC events or help put on virtual events.

As a person, I'm a white genderfluid giant, anti-racist since adolescent (though ever-evolving), working class background with a first generation education (Tier 1 BA, state MA in Sociology with a Multicultural Women's and Gender Studies cert, and a Community Health Worker license), nonmonogamous for nearly 20 years (and low-key looking for ways to bridge that somehow).

My neurodivergent traits are often hidden because communication and relationships are longstanding specialized interests -- I'm like a daywalker -- and I've spent the past year uncertain where I fall along the spectrum from pre-disabled to disabled (thanks Long COVID and burnout).

I'm kind of bad at hobbies, but I stim by playing games on BoardGameArena (add me: GJtheUnlit) and make myself take breaks by reading comic strips and music bios or watching weird and wonderful things on streaming.
