today I discovered the word autigender and my brain exploded. I saw how non binary went hand in hand with my dx and realization as autist. but today I saw how one is part of the other and intricately so.
thank you, people who organise useful gender words together.
@veroalgoz@actuallyautistic
yeah I like this term too. I spell it autgender, for phonetic reasons. But I do like to use it for my feelings about gender and in order to escape having to use a bunch of words that each only catch an aspect. Also because it ties it to the rest of me.
In June 2019 I acted as contributing editor to a queer-themed edition of Viewpoint: The Magazine of the British Society for the History of Science. I thought I would share it here today as it's #lgbtqstemday!
CHAMELEON MOON: An entirely #queer (including polyam, and #asexual-led) cast of superheroes survive a permanently-burning city with the power of love and rock n'roll!
Now getting an enhanced-audio #audiobook, which drops on #Halloween! More info on RoAnnaSylver.com!
I used to #crochet until I picked up #knitting; I've been hooked ever since. My latest endeavor is learning how to use a #spinningWheel for #handspinning. My goal for 2024 is to spin and knit a sweater entirely by hand.
@Axiom@fiberarts@knitting lovely sweater. Those colours are lovely and soft, like natural dyes.Your handspun hand-knitted next sweater will be even more precious!
I am D. Castleberry, I am a queer writer who is making queer fiction, some of which will be steamy and some of which will be wholesome. I am just getting started but I suspect that the world is my oyster.
With a lot of other social media sites in constant flux, I've decided to grow my audience here on Mastodon! I'll be posting about writing, my writing, and books in general. I will typically always follow back, so drop me a hey!
You don't have to be focused on any of the above topics, just have something interesting to say, and a decent webcam to record with (unless you live near #Portland and want to record an interview in person!) Bonus points if you're willing to appear nonsexually topless on screen with me, but definitely not required. I'm also happy to blur your face out or whatever else you need, if you want to keep your identity anonymous.
And if you'd like to check out previous interviews I've done, you can see them here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/interviews/ (please keep in mind some of these are really old when I was a lot worse at conducting interviews, I think they're better now 😅 )
Always looking for people to #costream during my #livestream whether that's working on a #collaborative project together, playing #videoGames, or even just chatting, so hit me up if you wanna 😁

🎂 A delightful birthday treat today, visiting Down House - former home of Charles Darwin - for the first time. This was long overdue!
Amid all the staid Victoriana, I couldn't help but think of Darwin writing about gynandromorphs, 'latent sex,' 'vice,' and 'extreme sensuality' here . . .
