Its 25 years since I hand wrote notes about #Aussie teens accidentally stepping into a #fantasy world, & the night that turned Heir Ruarnon's life upside-down. RuarnonTrilogy is now out in ebook &paperback https://elisecarlson.com/ruarnon-trilogy/

In the intervening years, a major in archaeology helped my world building, intrigue & mystery plots mature

& my quirky characters became their authentic selves as I drew on my life as a #nonbinary, #aroace #autistic, #ADHD person. I regret nothing

#aroace

Hello fellow aro/ace people! After coming to the realization, I've been more inclined to notice just how much music is about sex and love.
I just want to preface by saying that I have nothing against a song being about that and I think it's good that artists write about things dear to them. I still enjoy a good deal of love songs for many reasons.
What has happened though, is that after realizing that people genuinely feel what they sing (albeit maybe exagerated), which I was previously oblivious to, I feel like there's not as much music catered to my experience, I guess?
What I'm looking for is song recommendations for songs about other joys/aspects in life, maybe about really good friendships, or other aroace bangers?

Boosts welcome!

Hello, caneandable.social! I'm Lanie, a 33-year-old #Christian woman from Pipe Creek, TX. I'm #aroace, #TotallyBlind, #ActuallyAutistic, and living with multiple #ChronicIllnesses. I've just moved over from tweesecake.social, so I'm excited to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces!

A bit about me:
- I live with my mom and stepdad, who are my caregivers
- I have a Miniature Pinscher named Squeaker
- Currently studying programming on freeCodeCamp.org and codecademy.com and Braille proofreading through the NFB
- I work as a usability tester and aspire to become an #accessibility consultant
- My goal is to create a nonprofit for people with multiple #disabilities

My interests include:
- #Gaming (especially accessible games like incremental/idle games, word games, puzzles, RPGs, roguelikes, and MUDs)
- #Technology and #Cybersecurity
- #RareDiseases and #DisabilityRights
- Reading (sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, mysteries, and nonfiction)
- Swimming
- Gardening (planning to start soon!)

I'm passionate about #accessibility and creating a more inclusive digital world. I run online groups for people with multiple disabilities and am active in the #DisabilityCommunity.

Some of my #health conditions include occipital neuralgia, intracranial hypertension, Empty Sella Syndrome, fibromyalgia, hidradenitis suppurativa, GERD, gastroparesis, IBS, sleep apnea, migraines, and non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder.

I use various devices to navigate the digital world, including a Windows computer, iPhone, Android tablet, Fire TV, Echo Dot, Apple Watch, wireless headphones, and a Braille display. #AssistiveTechnology

I'm always eager to connect with others who share similar experiences or interests. Feel free to reach out, especially if you're into #AccessibleTech, #DisabilityAdvocacy, or if you just want to chat about books, games, or life with multiple disabilities!

It's Ace week!

And I have a request for all allies: Please reflect on the following questions:

Disclaimer 1: I'm probably not going to include everyone with the words I use, but please let me know, so I can edit and learn.

Disclaimer 2: I'm also going to use language that lets you know what I assume is the answer to a former question. But all answers are true and valid. Please don't feel pressured or judged by my words. Some of the questions are simply void depending on your answers before.

1. Do you prioritize your romantic or sexual relationships/constellations/encounters/interests over your friendships?
Do you for example spend more time, money and energy on people who are not or you don't want to be "just friends"? Do you give more love to them? More attention? Would you rather stop everything your doing and travel to the middle of nowhere because one of them wants to see you right now, compared to a friend? Do you think your friends initiate contact more often then you and spend more effort in keeping the friendship going whenever you have people in your life you want to be with romantically or sexually?

2. Do the people you have romantic and/or sexual feelings for deserve the extra attention, time and affection? Do they treat you better than your friends? Is it easier with them or if not, do they give you something your friends can't to make it worth it? Are encounters with them better for you and your (psychological) health than encounters with your friends? Who do you think is more sore or jealous if you spend more time with someone else? Does that mean the other is feeling good about being second best?

3. Do you think society as a whole values romance and sexuality more than platonic love? Do you think that's justified? Do you think that the words we use cement those societal differences (e.g. phrases like "I want >more than< friendship")? Do you know a lot of movies or TV shows where a friendship is the main theme like a romance is in romance movies?

4. Do you think aro/ace people might be lonely and feel left out in such a society (not to say that aro/ace people can't be in romantic or sexual relationships/constellations and that friendship is the only format availible to all aro/ace people)? Do you think some of your friends that are single and not dating (right now) long to spend more (quality) time with you? Do you think some of your friends might like to tag along when your doing something (depending on the activity) with a person or persons in the romance/sex-category? Do you know or think that some of your friends are aro/ace?

5. Have you ever had a platonic crush? Do you know what queerplatonic means? Do you think you could handle it well when a friend has queerplatonic feelings for you that you don't reciprocate? Would it be the same or different than unreciprocated romantic/sexual feelings? Do you think you could be a qpp/bff to an aro/ace person while also being in a romantic/sexual partnership/constellation? Do you think the other person/people in the partnership/constellation would be okay with that? Would you prefer if they were?

I encourage you to look up any words you don't know and/or ask me about them. Many words don't mean the same to everyone and I can only give you my definition. But please don't ask randomized misinformation machines.

URGENT! please help Dej! they are a #queer, #neurodivergent #artist on the way to self-employment. they need #rent support until they establish their work. anything helps!

uh, hi! i'm andy, y esta es mi #introduccion

él / elle | he / they
mayormente español, pero posteare en inglés igual!
#bisexual en el espectro #aroace, #genderfluid. hablo bastante sobre esto, así que te sugiero no seguirme si no quiere ver contenido al respecto!

http://zstxrboy.carrd.co

thought i'd make a little #introduction post.

hi, i'm D3ad_un1corn ["dead unicorn"], or D3ad ["dead"], whichever you prefer.

i decided to join since i've recently gotten more into this whole fediverse thing.

some things about me:
- make music as a hobby (hopefully as a career one day)
- autistic and queer (aroace)
- anarchist/antifa/anticap
- he/him or they/them pronouns
- used to be really into hoyoverse games (raiden shogun is a huge comfort character still, so i might post about her a bit too much at times)

my pfp is a unicorn oc i designed in 2019, it used to be much more realistic, but the chibi version was drawn by vert_vivo on ig (they're a very talented artist and have made all my unicorn art ever since)

last but not least, i have a very cute cat :3

if there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask! (i may take a moment to answer since my social anxiety gets bad even online lol)
