Hi!!

I made this account in 2022 but abandoned it for a while. I feel very new to this! It took me five minutes just to work out how to join and post here 🙃


Name: June, they/them

Age: 30s!

I mostly post about: My knitting and other craft pursuits, my health (it’s kind of bad, guys) in terms of life updates usually, and my solo rpg games, so far. If I talk about food I’ll make it filterable when I work out… how.

I hope I’ll expand as I get a wider social circle. It’s weird to blog at myself.

My hobbies are: Knitting, writing, solo RPG games, cross-stitch, birdwatching (sort of, I most sit by a window while chilling and watch the birds fight over the bird feeder) paper flowers. I’m currently largely housebound, my hobbies are Indoors Things at the moment. When I AM outside in The Beast (my powerchair) I’ll probably spam pictures of the sky and urban pigeons.

My fandoms are: Star Trek (though I’m SO behind on everything new. I watched half of discovery and nothing else since), Dragon Age, Mass Effect. Flight Rising! Terry Pratchett, The Foreigner Series. I don’t spend a huge amount of time posting about those, these days, though.

I’m looking to meet people who are: Kind, open-minded.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, LGBTQ+phobia, Islamophobia, ableism, fatphobia—you get the gist, I hope. If you consider yourself to be ‘a Conservative’ we will probably not get along, let’s save ourselves the bother.

No under 18s, please!

Hiya!

If you're looking for crafting chatter, I cannot recommend [community profile] get_knitted enough. It's a crafting community with daily check-ins, but you don't have to check in daily, just when you want to. We're chill there, and love cheering each other on and commiserating when things go wrong.

I'm a knitter and crocheter myself. My journal tends to be one part crafts, one part nattering about video games (I'm partial to Final Fantasy, but I have played some Dragon Age: Origins and recently bought Mass Effect when it was hugely on sale), and one part dealing with brain weasels and life with an aging parent.

I like Star Trek, though I haven't watched it in years. I was the right age to develop a crush on Wesley Crusher of TNG (....what?) and I watched some DS9 and VOY. I don't currently watch TV but if I did, I'd probably seek out the latest Trek shows.

I have not read nearly enough Terry Prachett. I look forward to fixing that.

Anyway, there's more about me in my stickied posts and public journals. I'm well over 18, and our dealbreakers match. If all this sounds good, feel free to add me!

Just a note: most of my stuff is posted access locked so if you do add me, I'll add you back AND give you access. You are under no obligation to give me access back.

If I talk about food I’ll make it filterable when I work out… how.


The easiest way to do this is to put it under a cut, so people who don't want to read it can skip it. This FAQ explains how to do a cut.

You can also set up an Access filter, so only those people who you want to allow access to the entry see it. Here's the FAQ on that.

For example, I have an access filter for local friends only, and I've used it to discuss get-togethers or really personal stuff. They're not hard to set up, just need to make sure to USE the filter when you post.
