hello!

Hello! I am always interested in making friends on here and I will return comments for folks who comment on my entries. i have been on DW since the last large migration off LJ in 2017 (i held on over there way too long.) very interested in meeting more people here!

NAME: Kat or yarrow

AGE: 42

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: i’m not sure that hobbies are things that i have so much as that my life has lots of moving parts and there are lots of things i do. former lit major with an MA in Literature from a long time ago; still a word geek and avid reader. i read mostly sf/f of all descriptions, and some historical fiction and “literature,” but i’m primarily interested in thoughtful, character-driven stories, and in work by women, POC and LGBTQ authors. i am an organic gardener and i live in a five-person poly-pagan intentional community on a working farm, so i talk about that stuff pretty regularly. i’m pagan and slightly involved in my local pagan community (after decades of deep over-involvement in it). i am a poet and enjoy reading poetry, and i post my work in my journal. i’m queer and poly, in two committed long-term relationships. one of my sweeties is trans, and if you are not 100% cool with transpeople, we should not be friends. i don’t post about politics here but i’ve spent my life prety far to the left, consider myself progressive and would prefer to hang out with folks who value the environment and the lives of people of color, queer folks, immigrants, folks of differing abilities, and anybody else being actively oppressed by our culture and insistutions. i am deeply worried about climate change, and the tiny community i live in was formed partly in response to climate change, in the “ripple-effect activism” sort of way. i work in the art department in a large university and i love it, and i talk about work sometimes. o and i am an enthuiastic amateur photographer (yarrowkat on IG).

LOOKING FOR: friends who are engaged here and will comment sometimes and like to get comments. a slightly random list would include (but by no means be limited to!) people who are interested in any of the same sorts of things i am, people who write about their own lives, people living in yurts or intentional communities, pagans, queers, poets, gardeners, other childfree people (i have nothing at all against people with kids but i am a little starved for the company of other childfree adults), other people in their 40s, any of the above. i am always engaged by hearing about things that people are passionate about, whatever that may be. i’m most interested in “slice-of-life” journals.

ANYTHING ELSE?: idk, i think that covers it? i’m wordy? but very friendly! i miss the community feel that LJ used to have, back in the day, and am kinda trying to recreate that with new people here. if i sound interesting, feel free to add and i’ll add back!

A million years ago (in high school) I was pretty active in the pagan scene, and still have friends from then. :)
