More stuff about this blog specifically

I don't specifically tag my posts about Christianity

I do tag all my posts about alcohol as tw alcohol

I'd love to interact with people so feel free to ask me stuff!!! Anything from my fave food or tv show to deep philosophical questions.

I don't engage with posts or asks asking for donations or money. I am not in a position where I can donate money or check the source to make sure it's legit or that I can really support the cause.

I suck at replying so don't take it personally. If it's important then please send me an ask! But it still might take me a while to reply too.

I'm 18 years of age but blog like an 8 year old. Make of that what you will

Only DNI is nsfw blogs or if you support AI image generation.

Other boundaries

I'm not very comfortable with gendered language and prefer neutral language

Mutuals/friends can call me "dude" "sis" "girl" "bro" etc informally though

If you think (physically) able bodied people can call themselves cripple then fuck off and block me

I prefer person-first language (Ayro has a disability, they live with a physical disability, etc) but I won't be offended by identity first

Cheap food

"Excellent, dear, so do you celebrate pride month with all the rainbows?"

how did the nails turn out?

So well omg. I don't want to post a photo but for someone who has never painted their nails they look so good

I'm not sure if i like them, i don't know if that's gender stuff or just that my fingers aren't usually blue but i had fun doing it

[ayronaught]

I do wonder if i have something neurodevelopmental going on purely cos i was thinking about stuff i've been told about myself from when i was a baby, a child, and teen (pre-injury) and it doesnt fully align with just being a nerd

[ayronaught]

I am so glad i almost exclusively hang out with people who accommodate my needs without questioning it

[finnglas]

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

hey is anyone else sick of having to adapt to horrible conditions over and over again

[transgenderer]

so embarrassing to like music. "yeah, these are all my favorite noises", "im gonna pay money to go to the room where they play this sound really loud", "im gonna 'buy' these noises so i can listen to them later". humiliating. literature isnt like this
