Ani @ositalinguista@mastodon.lol

Updated #Introduction:

my name is ani (pronounced like annie not diFranco); she/her pronouns. i'm in my 30s, white, disabled, queer and probs an autist. i am a visual artist and technically am trained as a cognitive linguist but fuck inaccessible academia.

boundaries: not looking for love or sexy stuff thx, NO unsolicited medical advice, no t/swerfs, actively antiracist and anticapitalist. No diet talk.

Access needs: captions, loads of patience with slow understanding or response time.

But also WHY is it currently a thing to try to reach out to your child self?? Childhood is not innocence?? Like? You are just a smol flesh sack that has poor balance mimicking everything around you. How is that innocence and freedom?? Like. I ate slim fast in utero, baby, I was ne'er a blank slate.

I don't think people really get how deep fatphobia can run. Someone recently tried to get me to say my younger self would be proud of my art and think i was cool --

my younger self would only see that i am fat and nothing else would matter. yes, even child me. fatphobia is the pillar upon which my family was built. I would not have thought my gallery or my blue hair or my excellent perspective skills worthwhile bc my fat body would not have been worthy 🤷🏻‍♀️

this is my friend's cat, Dougie. Be like Dougie. Nap all day, help spin yarn, eat the fucking rich.

this card reversed is always associated with my family for me bc they are very much not ride or die folks. they are in it for the clout, for the shine, and the second things get hard they are gone gone gone. even far away from them, it can be hard to shake the last clinging vestiges of family yuck during this holiday.

Some days you are the pirate bunny some days you are the reversed pirate bunny 🤷🏻‍♀️. Feeling today's card intensely.

good morning to everyone except the kid yelling outside my window

lol at my therapist asking me if I'd made any progress and me showing her my page of octopus sketches and her being very enthusiastic but also being like "but yes shall we also talk about your emotional blockage" like um, no, clearly let's talk about octopuses, would you like to know how many hearts they have?

my uterus has no RIGHT to be acting this way goddammit

Hello guess what I have been fixating on
