Name: Meep

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: I natter. I'll start with some small thing, an idea or an event from my day, and meander around it for a bit. Sometimes that means going on a deep dive about some queer/crip theory concept that I've been chewing on and sometimes it means thinking way too hard about The Hunger Games or His Dark Materials. I like to let my mind wander "on paper" and I write about my daily life.

My hobbies are: I'm a crafter, mostly crochet, sometimes embroidery, resin casting, quilting, and photography. I read a lot (currently on a nonfiction kick, but also picture books, romance, fantasy (especially portal fantasy), and, recently, thrillers and horror) and I'm trying to get back into writing for fun.

My day job is: I'm a school librarian and I write about that. Right now, I'm finishing up my MFA Writing for Children & Young Adults and applying for a MLIS School Library Focus program.

My fandoms are: His Dark Materials; TSUBASA: RESERvoir CHRoNiCLE; The Silmarillion; The Hunger Games; Saiyuki; Interview with the Vampire; Thor: Ragnarok; Austenland; Maintenance Phase. These are things you might see me write about. I like talking about what I'm reading/watching/listening to, but I don't write fic or engage much in fandom. That said, I love to talk about fandoms with my friends even if we're not in the same fandom.

I'm looking to meet people who: I want to hear about your day! One of the things I always loved about LiveJournal/Dreamwidth was that peek into other peoples' lives and the supportive community that builds up from that kind of intimacy. It's not required but I enjoy when that friendship spills over into other social media and chat spaces.

My posting schedule tends to be: So, I used to post, like, multiple times a day, and then somewhere along the line, that petered out, but I'm getting back into the habit with the goal of posting at least 3x weekly, maybe more.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I won't add anyone under 21. I'm sorry but I'm a professional educator and that is a personal boundary I will not cross. I think the usual DNI criteria applies here; I'm not interested in arguing about whether trans women are women (trans women are women) or if drag shows are recruiting children to the gay agenda (please shut up) in the comments of my diary.

Before adding me, you should know: I am a white neurodivergent disabled genderqueer lesbian Jewish convert in progress. I guess, make of that what you will.

Hello! Librarian, these days in an unusual special library, but previously in my life in a high school. (Also with chronic health/disability stuff and somewhere in the neurodiverse space.)

(There's a post at the top of my journal that's locked that has a lot more useful background.)

Hello! Fellow educator here and whooo boy your reference to Tsubasa sent me back to my high school years. Anyway, my post from August is here, if you're interested. Nothing much has changed except my new current game obsession is Pokemon Violet.

[hashiveinu]

Hi! I'm disabled, bi, trans, and active in my synagogue. I like reading about people's experiences and thoughts, so I'd be happy to add you!

[niko_reubens]

Hey! :D I'm a 30-something queer, trans, neurodivergent Jew! Feel free to add me. I have a public "about me" post on my blog, if you want to check it out.

[shadowbliss]

I'm interested in adding you

[virgosplaining]

You sound amazing and I'd love to add you! :)

[flamingsword]

Hi, I'm gonna go add you! You can give my profile or stickypost a read-through and see if you like the cut of my jib.

[soricel]

Hi! You sound like someone whose nattering I'd like to read. :) I'm a middle school/high school English teacher currently living in Romania. And yeah, I love the idea of getting to know people and building friendships from sharing slices of life on this site, though I'm not totally sure I know how to do that. But I think I like/think about/write about a lot of the same things that you mentioned in your post, so feel free to add me back if you want!

[leia_solo]

I'd love to be your friend.

[lordhellebore]

Hey, you sound interesting, I'd like to add you :) Kind of former educator (university), neuridivergent disabled queer person with multiple fandoms who loves to crochet, is learning how to knit and really wants to try embroidery.

[raspberrysweettea]

I'd like to add you! (I'm also in my 30's.)

I think I use my journal in a similar fashion that you do, you just described it way better than I ever could lol. It's definitely more stream of consciousness than anything else.

I also occasionally talk about but don't really engage in fandom things anymore. It's been so long since I've thought about TSUBASA: RESERvoir CHRoNiCLE!

I have a public profile and sorely outdated intro post in my sticky.

I'm 32, female, queer, and rather boring. I post about my life. I have a cocktail of uniquenesses; ADHD, BPD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and abuse survivor. I'm currently trying to find love and get my life together and prepare to start nursing school next year. Oh, and I have two cats that are my world. :)

[jamethiel]

Oooh! I'm adding you! I am A Sewer/crafter and also love Interview with the Vampire.

[rabbitica]

Hello! I'll add you and feel free to check out my crafty queer bookish journal, no worries if you decide not to add back.

[acidtrips]

hey! i think we would get along very well! i love so many things about you that you listed here. feel free to check out my journal, and to add me if you want! i will certainly add you back!

[raynedanser]

Hi there! I knit, crochet, love photography (very loyal to my dad's Nikon D7000). I think you and I would get along well and would love to give it a go. :)

[tellshannon815]

I love Hunger Games and also crafting, would like to give it a go

[ranawinter]

Adding you. It was always my dream to be a librarian, but I was discouraged by my teachers (of all people!) as they held the belief that libraries were on the way out - this was the 90s!
