addme , though I haven't engaged with it much yet. But I like its prompts and never posted an intro so here's one based on their template:
Age: Xennial. I have dialed a rotary phone (but not often) and find TikTok a little overwhelming; I've been online over 30 years, but never really an early adapter. My experience of age is also colored by intersections of USian whiteness, working class background (with some cheat codes along the way), undxd autism and hypermobility, queerness, genderfluidity, and having virtual no experience in corporate workplaces.
I mostly post about: practicing my memoirs, my dynamic disability and ongoing precautions against COVID, processing work and personal challenges, nonmonogamous relationships, caring and building interconnectivity, chosen family, and metaphysics that are hard to name. I'm perhaps a little too nostalgic about confessional blogging.
My hobbies are: writing, listening to music, human connection, our relationships with time, illustration, singing, road trips, my work in community care (lol)
My fandoms are: almost non-existent. Janelle Monáe, music history (especially the permutations of jazz as dance music), Star Trek I guess. Disability Justice. Finding hope in revolutionary times.
I'm looking to meet people who: protect themselves and others from ongoing pandemics, listen more than they speak, write to inform and inspire without needing to center themselves, don't put all of their hope in the revival of failing institutions (especially the Democratic Party), hold space for others, love to communicate but know we need more to improve the world.
My posting schedule tends to be: uneven. I'll post daily for a while, then vanish for weeks sometimes. 2-3x a week on average, let's say.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: expecting perfection out of yourself or others, compartmentalizing and ranking human worth, inability to listen when held accountable, TESCREAL apologism, using AI uncritically/without labeling, willful illiteracy or incuriosness.
Before adding me, you should know: I've been a sex educator, a caregiver, and a witness to violence on micro and macro scales and I sometimes don't realize what will faze others. I do my best to include alerts for adult or heavy content (which itself will be behind a cut, of course), but let me know if anything catches you off guard. I am shy about sharing some of my writing outside existing connections and filter judiciously (but the bar to connecting is very low: be a real human being who is not looking to steal my writing or otherwise exploit our conversations). If we ever connect beyond this space, I strongly prefer a short, clear goodbye to being ghosted.
