This is a personal journal.
This is a life-centered journal and diversity is very welcome here. Racism, ableism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. are not welcome in this space.
I'm severely disabled by EDS, POTS, MCAS, and aftereffects of multiple brain inuries. I'm completely housebound and unable to use the phone any more. I see my friends and family via dw and fb now, and i use both to socialise. I've seen many people differentiate between "online friends" and "real friends", but my online friends are very much my real friends.
I expect anyone interacting in my journal to understand that, to recognise that this is one of my virtual homes, and to behave accordingly.
I read the journals of people whom I find interesting, smart, funny, etc; I generally only give access to people I feel are at least "proto-friends", ie people I like and feel that when we know each other better, we may well become good friends. While there are exceptions, that's the usual rule.
I enjoy meeting new people, but I also very much appreciate people saying "hello" when they'd like to add me so I know who they are.
I live with my best friend and our 5 cats in a little 70 year old cottage about 15 miles from town.
My hobbies include digital artwork (especially for shirt designs now), genealogy, and reading. I'm fascinated by permaculture, food forest gardening, and building with cob, but not able to pursue them with this body.
I have several stores: Catastrfy's Button Emporium, StarCATS Cat Toys for Geeky Kitties (and a couple other things), and Starfire Studio on Redbubble.
I also have a Merch by Amazon account and you see see my designs there under the names Starfire Studio and Designs by Starfire.
On facebook I have pages for Starfire Studio, Autisticat, and Catastrfy's Button Emporium.
I'm extremely literal both in what I say and what I read. I'm Autistic and I've had multiple brain injuries that have compounded the issue. The literal meaning of what I say (or what I perceive the literal meaning to be) is most likely exactly what I mean. I've had a few people tell me that they know I really mean X if I say Y; if you don't trust me to be truthful and/or you're in doubt about what I mean, I'd much rather you ask than presume.
In a similar vein, please tell me clearly what you want me to know, because I'll miss hints, even if you think they're obvious.
I, like Autisticat, use identity-first language.
