day two prompt: about the blogger!!
Hi! my name is otto and i use they/them pronouns! i am a sophomore in college, having just finished my first semester of sophomore year
im majoring in english and secondary/adolescent education with a minor in women's, gender, and sexuality studies.
i got not the best grades my first semester of college (2.21 gpa) due to going through some trauma but now i got my gpa up to a 3.02!
im aromantic, queer, and nonbinary and i do a lot of activism in both that community and other social justice based communities as well as living in an lgbtqia+ activism living learning community at my school. i also started testosterone in september and on january eighth im going from a patch to an injections.
im disabled and really into disability activism- i have joint problems and migraines as well as adhd and being autistic and some mental illnesses including ptsd, depression, social phobia, and borderline personality disorder but im always workin my butt off to work with them instead of against them to do my best!
my interests as of right now are musicals, especially spring awakening, great comet, hedwig and the angry inch, and cabaret. i also love dungeons and dragons and the mcelroy brothers and more podcasts than i can keep track of.
im currently working on learning calligraphy and french on my own plus running a youtube channel! next semester im taking women in literature, british literature, transnational literature, and a creative writing workshop.
{image description: four mirror selfies of otto in their bedroom of their parents house. they're wearing black combat boots, dark wash skinny jeans with the cuffs rolled up past the tops of the boots, a black and white striped turtleneck, a pink knit cardigan, and a white beanie. in the first theyre sitting on their dresser and their torso and upper body are visible, with a string of fairy lights horizontally bisecting the image with some of the opposite wall visible behind them. in the second almost their entire body is visible with none of their room visible in the background. in the third theyve gotten off the dresser and are standing next to the ladder to their bed with an arm resting on it. also visible is three vertical lines of polaroids on their mirror, as well as a graduation cap with the nonbinary flag on it and the area around the mirror, the opposite wall, and lots of fairy lights. in the fourth, they are closer to the mirror so only the top of the dresser and the opposite wall are visible. theyre holding a clear glass vase filled with dried roses in front of their chest amd sticking their tongue out. end image description}
