I didn't do an
#introduction post when I moved to ibe.social, but since I shoot my mouth off on hot button issues enough, it might be a good idea to TL;DR myself and pin it, in case the reply guys actually bother to look at my profile before attempting to 'Um, Actually...' me.
Hi! I'm Amy, I am
#ADHD. I'm wildly left wing — at least by US standards, maybe even by international standards, but def in the left wing weeds here in the shithole that I call my home country. I am opinionated, I *will* share my thoughts.
My interests include scifi such as
#StarTrek (which is political, and progressive despite the efforts of certain assholes like Rick Berman),
#Farscape, and
#DoctorWho. I run a Star Trek collaborative writing RPG,
@[email protected]. I dabble in photography and making glitch art, and if I can figure out how to manage my ADHD better, I'd love to make at least part of my income from selling my art. Check out my INPRNT shop from the link on my profile.
My spelling is atrocious, and due to my ADHD, my memory is sometimes a crap shoot. This means playing games like splitting hairs over my vocabulary choices, or nitpicking my spelling and grammar, are not going to go over well with me. These are things I've been fighting with my whole life, so if you come at me for them I will not hesitate to defend myself and tell you to fuck off. Just because my memory resembles swiss cheese sometimes doesn't mean I'm stupid, it just means that sometimes I can't pull up the noun for a concept I'm trying to explain, or I can't cite sources on sometimes I read six months ago that supports my position... but I assure you, if I feel confident enough to say something without padding it with a modifier like 'I think', or 'if I'm remembering correctly', I'm pretty certain of what I'm saying and I don't recommend coming for me unless *you* can cite sources to me.
I try my best to meet people where they are, but I've also been put through enough bullshit because of how ADHDers and women are treated in our society that once I decide you're not trying to meet me in good faith, my patience will drop to zero pretty damn fast. Meet me with good intentions and usually we'll get along fine.
