I can’t reliably tag stuff b/c of my disabilities. I realize that’s an access issue for a lot of people, which sucks, but I figure it’s best to just put a disclaimer here.
I’m an adult and I post about “adult” topics, including sex, violence, abuse, various forms of oppression, etcetera. This includes posts about real world events as well as fictional portrayals of these topics. Again, I cannot consistently tag things, so please gauge your own risk when following me!
Stuff you might see here: the ocean, anarchism, Judaism, textile art, linguistic anthropology, disability justice & psych abolition, Ursula K LeGuin, Dragon Age, memes, cute animals, and more
