Your cisgenderism will not save you.

Definitely cryptid spotted

I got my maxiskirt! With big practical pockets!!!

This is my belated #introduction. My name is Zoë; I'm non-binary and genderfluid pansexual in my early 30s.

By the day, I work in physical science. All day long, I'm hella . I love reading, writing letters, drawing stuff, taking photos of nature (especially plants), and sometimes writing for fun. I identify as leftist, humanist, and anti-authoritarian. Spiritually, I'm a universal unitarian.

Currently, I'm being treated for depression and anxiety disorders. I use CWs liberally, and if you'd like me to CW my posts, please let me know.

All interactions are welcome, as long as we remain respectful towards each other and their consent as human beings, no more no less.

It's nice to meet ya!

My sector of the mastodontiverse feels like the Transport Town in Samuel R. Delany's story "Babel-17," home of good queer folks of every kind. Perhaps I'm "technically Customs people," but like Rydra Wong my heart's home is with the Transport.

Started with drawing dipole radiative field, ended up #inktober cartoon character, the grumpy radiator.

So the risk of the instance's demise was greatly exaggerated that was great news! I will stay here for the time foreseeable while keeping the alt as backup :D

"O du, für den ich alles trug,
Könnt ich zur Stelle dringen,
Wo Bosheit dich in Fesseln schlug,
Und süssen Trost dir bringen!
Ich folg' dem innern Triebe,
Ich wanke nicht,
Mich stärkt die Pflicht
Der treuen Gattenliebe!"

"Oh you, for whom I endure everything,
If I could breach the place
where evil has you imprisoned,
and bring you sweet consolation!
I follow my inner call,
I will not waver,
For duty and true love make me strong."

After stormy weather the sunset was gorgeous.
