Ugh I posted a selfie, so I guess I’ll do a somewhat real bio now that I’m not a mystery person anymore :/

  • Trans woman (she/her)
  • Photographer
  • Fashion addict
  • Occasional techie
  • Friendly (feel free to reach out)

  • How old are you (roughly) and how long does it take you to recover from illnesses and injuries compared to when you were younger?

    Jump

  • Late 20s. I get hangovers now, but a bunch of water in the morning clears it up pretty quick. Soreness takes extra stretches and massaging to get rid of. I haven’t been sick in years. Injuries take about the same time, but hurt a bit more.

  • What time and place of history are you obsessed with?

    Jump

  • I personally love reading about ancient Mesopotamia and China in The Warring States Period.

  • Length of video you're willing to watch?

    Jump

  • If it’s only 5/10, I probably wouldn’t watch it. Maybe I’d do a few seconds to a minute. My friends pass around mid meme videos all the time and I barely watch any. If i’m not sober however, then probably like 5 mins.

  • When you're feeling down, what perks you back up or improves your day?

    Jump

  • I have a playlist of songs that I can’t stop myself from singing along to. That usually helps a ton.

  • What language/culture/origin is your name from? Do you like your name or names from that culture? Have you ever met someone with a same name (either the given or family name)?

    Jump

  • My first name is Hebrew, it was supposedly the name of the father of David. My last name is Italian, apparently it was once a derogatory term.

  • What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?

    Jump

  • Tattoos, coke, mushrooms, alcohol, camera batteries, camera lenses, tiramisu, sex, kink stuff, time.

    I try not to be super consumerist, so it’s hard to think of things as opposed to experiences and addictive substances.

  • How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?

    Jump

  • I just tell people I saw it on reddit because my friends and family won’t use or understand reddit never mind lemmy.

  • Fuck Zodiac signs, let's get REAL

    Jump

  • Secutors have always been my favorite. I love their fish-man helmets.

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • Yeah, they are a lot cheaper than I expected. I appreciate the push and I’m very tempted, but my final excuse is just that I’m hella ADHD. I’ve got a long history of picking things up only to quickly put them back down and I’ve grown to be very careful when I think of getting into anything new. It’s why I’ve mostly played small instruments, they’re cheap and easier to store. I gotta think about it and talk to some people.

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the tips! I never heard of a trumpet mute. Unfortunately I’ll have to work on getting another trumpet as well as a basement before I try your suggestions. I’ll still save your comment, maybe one day I could try again.

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • I learned in this order: clarinet, trumpet, piano, penny whistle, kalimba, guitar, and harmonica. I don’t actually play most anymore, the joy of music to me is in performance and I was never good or passionate enough about instruments to perform with them.

    My favorite always was the trumpet. I love the sound and the feel of it. It’s just got a punch and energy that I haven’t gotten from other instruments. I haven’t played since I was a teen though because it’s just too loud for me to be able to practice without bothering people.

  • What Is Ur Fav Male Character Design

    Jump

  • I think western design is a result of aiming for the most realistic look possible. It limits the amount of artistic expression and results in less immediately attractive characters.

    Eastern design is like 60% realistic 40% anime and that gives them enough room to create doll like characters that have exaggerated or unrealistic features that people naturally find attractive.

  • What are your coping mechanisms?

    Jump

  • Most days, drugs of some kind. I go for walks every Sunday with my camera though and take photos and spend the week editing them too. I also try to take short trips too. It’s pretty cheap if you sleep in your car and just explore the town looking for photos to take.

    Things are looking really bad, but I try not to let it hold me back. I’ve already spent a good chunk of my life paralyzed by anxiety, so I’ve learned to push past it.

  • What is your favourite metal song?

    Jump

  • I’m not a huge metal head, but “Trapped Under Ice” by Metallica is probably my favorite. I’d strongly recommend the entire Ride the Lightning album though. Pretty much every song is great.

  • What's your 'old person' trait?

    Jump

  • I primarily write in cursive.

  • People prefer chatbots when buying embarrassing stuff

    Jump

  • I’m a very anxious person and I kinda liked the Taco Bell AI drive thru thing specifically because it was way less pressure even if it was annoying. There’s plenty of other stuff I simply won’t buy because I don’t want it enough to overcome my anxiety.

    If the chatbots are reliable, I’d much prefer them in most shopping scenarios. So this makes sense to me.

  • What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?

    Jump

  • Yeah I didn’t mean to imply they’re all exclusive to where I live, but the opossum anecdote is actually from a person I met from Ohio funny enough.

  • You're about to be transformed into an animal and cast in the leading role of a children's television program. What animal would you be want to be turned into for the show?

    Jump

  • I’d wanna be a parrot. It’s an easy fit for a kids show. They can fly and they live for like 80 years which is probably better than I’ll do as a human. Sounds perfect to me.

  • What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?

    Jump

  • I live in the US northeast coast in a touristy area. People have been surprised to see: white beach sand, seashells, docks, boats, seagulls, deer, opossums. I could go on. I get most people don’t live coastal, so none of these reactions surprised me except the white sand one. Apparently a lot of lakes in the mainland just have dirt at their shores. Never would’ve guessed.
