Are you sure you aren’t just into the idea of me, anon? I’m a whole complex person and I honestly have kind of a lot going on. I’m very anxious and frequently stressed
Being objectified constantly. How people treat me correlates pretty heavily with how attractive they find me. People think they are entitled to comment on and have opinions about and look at and touch my body. I’m not taken as seriously when I want to be. Misogyny etc
Oh hey thanks anon. I try! I do. I mess up a lot. But I really care about other people and I do my best. I really want to leave my corner of the planet just a little bit better than I found it
I was born in the US in California but my family is from Chihuahua Mexico!
I speak okay Spanish. We spoke Spanglish at home growing up so I didn’t really start learning until much later. I try to practice and work on it because it’s an important part of my heritage that I don’t want to lose, but I’m far from fluent
Oh for sure. In spaces where people don’t already know me from my open source stuff, I keep my transition pretty need-to-know. I’ll never be able to stealth because you can pretty easily google me and like some of the top results are about me coming out. I’ve been subjected to a lot more online hate and harassment. But also, if I did just transition quietly then I wouldn’t have made as many awesome Fedi connections and I hear from folks that my posts help them understand trans folks
Generally, yes! I still struggle with anxiety and depression and CPTSD and all kinds of other fun things. But I’m really proud of where I am and the friends I have and the life I’ve built. Some days are very hard, but it’s important to remember how much there is to live for! Like chili cheese dogs, dude. I’m craving one bad.
Haha I don’t have a workout playlist. I usually listen to podcasts on a walk or watch TV on my stationary bike. I guess I put on lofi for yoga sometimes.
I don’t particularly care for sports. I will watch World Cup and occasionally other football (soccer) games with friends as like a social thing or like the Olympics. If someone invites me to watch a game with them it’s like not my favorite activity but I’ll hang out. I will actively avoid baseball and American football.
I floated around the Los Rios community college system for a while but I didn’t graduate. I think I’m only a couple semesters away from an associates in computer science, but I stopped going to school because I was working 6 days a week. I think the classes that made the most difference in my life were intro to philosophy, intro to ethics, and maybe English/Lit
I’m sorry to hear that, anon! Without an understanding of the situation, I hope that things are able to be resolved in a way that you can be happy with
Aww this has to be one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me! I’m really glad that I’ve said things you find valuable 🩷
Definitely not Gen X though lmao, my parents are Gen X! I have Gen Z siblings! I’m right in the middle of Millennials 😂 Aging me a bit, anon. Must be the wisdom 😉
Haha I mean the general state of the world could be a lot better tbh. But I’m still here, doing my best to practice gratitude, trying to take up space, trying to live right here and right now :)
Haha I dunno that I have one besides like food. I like chocolate and ice cream and cheeseburgers and French fries and milkshakes and pizza and fried chicken and all that
Haha don’t they all? Is that not how it works? 😅 I definitely like compulsively blurt out memes. But if I had to pick one, I disproportionately love the shooting star meme and wish it was still popular haha
Ah okay yeah so I’ve definitely run into this problem and it can be a little frustrating 😅 I actually considered Daniela because of my Spanish-speaking family. So in this case I would probably prefer Dani or just to say Daniela anyways, since like the way this name is feminized does depend on the language. Thanks for asking!
And yes in English it’s more like “Dan-yell” instead of “Danyul”. So it’s kind of subtle!
That’s a lot haha. Thanks 😅 Not sure of your gender anon, but in case you’re a guy you’re still straight lol and if you’re a girl, congrats on the gay! Happy pride haha 🏳️🌈🎉
