Stickied! Intro Post
Jan. 11th, 2036 11:49 am This journal is friendslocked.
I never thought I'd make a Dreamwidth account but with Livejournal's imminent death on the horizon and Tumblr's continuous lack of everything that made blogging great, I am now going back to digging deep into the online sphere in search community.
About me: I'm in my 30s and have had an online presence since my teens; it's just part of who I am. I work in a demanding field that requires a lot of time in front of a screen. While I live in a city, I dream of one day having a hobby farm and living like a (kind, friendly) version of Tasha Tudor. I have three cats, hoard books, love cooking and exploring new restaurants, and am an unabashed anglophile.
Beliefs: Feminism is extremely important to me, and I am a SWERF. I believe in community action, am closer to Democratic Socialism than any other political flavor, and am an exmormon who immediately landed on naturalistic paganism after deconstruction.
Fandom: My introduction to fandom was Harry Potter, and while I was never a BNF I was extremely active in the Livejournal HP space, as well as fannish activities offline. From there my major fandoms were: Bleach, Death Note, Supernatural, Star Trek, and The X-Files. As I've aged I've become a lot more interested in fandom culture, especially scifi fandom. I love trawling through the archives of eFanzines.
Why I am here: To get my daily dose of other people's slice of life, make friends, and fall into the fandom space again (or at least talk about it!). I am looking for a place that feels like home, that is slower, less reactionary, and can't have the word "micro" attached to it.
Where I can be found: While I have a tumblr and an instagram, the former is mostly a visual commonplace book and the latter I don't post on.

"The longer I live, the more urgent it seems to me to endure and transcribe the whole dictation of existence up to its end, for it might just be the case that only the very last sentence contains that small and possibly inconspicuous word through which everything we had struggled to learn and everything we had failed to understand will be transformed suddenly into magnificent sense." — Rainer Maria Rilke, letter to Ilse Erdmann, 21 December 1913, in Letters on Life, U. Baer, trans. (2007)
