Since I've passed 500 followers I'm going to do a new to see if I can get 500 more. :blobcatfluffevil: This is a long one, because it can be.

I am Nege, they/them, an elder millennial and thus currently in my 40s. Nonbinary :BlahajWavingNonBinaryFlag: aro :aro_heart: ace :asexual: and queer all around. Chaotically neurodivergent (AuDHD, mental illness, various neurological conditions, shitposter brain) and disabled. I am a white Canadian settler who is keen on decolonization to stop the world from burning and continuing genocide under a different brand. Antifascist. Ban billionaires. Climate action. Degrowth. End capitalism. Free Palestine. Guillotines. (Kidding...unless...)

I'm an urbanist and anti-car in a city where too many white collar suburbanites drive massive pickup trucks. I live in high density housing with a fantastic dog. Every day I get to see the Prairie sunset and think about the beauty we get to witness if we choose. I love greenspace and urban wildlife, especially Canada geese. :GOOSE_PNG: and ducks and crows and pigeons and squirrels and bunnies, all of whom are my neighbours in spite of all the concrete.

I am a libidoist, sex-positive (culturally), and sex-indifferent (personally), with a dirty mind for jokes but repulsed by romance. If the preceding sentence makes no sense to you, feel free to ask! This kind of language is known in aro and/or ace communities but I find it doesn't really travel outside of there and I am happy to spread this understanding.

I write, photograph, and draw, and I put a small fraction of that on my old fashioned website (thisnege.xyz). I also play some music, but in the sense that when I'm high and listening to a playlist I sometimes grab a recorder or keyboard to see if I can make out the tune for fun. It's never good enough to record and share, so if you see me posting audio clips then run away as I am clearly too high to have good judgment.

I collect sunglasses and old cameras and old books and physical music media. I still use photographic film sometimes, and I sometimes write poetry on a typewriter manufactured in 1921. I also collect tattoos, or at least that's my excuse for getting more and more of them ever since I turned 40. At least as far as mid-life crises go it's not as expensive as a sports car and/or a divorce.

I like to travel but I'm trying to do less of it for environmental reasons. I don't intend to ever step foot in the United States again. My destinations have mostly been European.

I'm pro-mask and pro-vaccine. Individual responsibility is community care, and fuck you if you choose to spread preventable disease to the vulnerable.

If you've made it this far you've invested too much time in me not to follow.
