I think it's time for a #reintroduction post. I've been on Mastodon since 2024 and hanging out at The Mended Drum for over a year, and I'm doing a bit of remodeling on my feed. I'd love to make some new friends, and I would also appreciate any hashtag recommendations to follow! I'm a cis woman of the Oregon Trail Generation living in #Raleigh, #NC, US. Currently a freelance proofreader specializing in deposition transcripts. I'm (lazy) #plantbased, unattached, #nonreligious, sober-ish, and #childfree. Likes: #reading, #concerts, #animals (especially #cats), #photography, glamping, dragons, spreadsheets, pockets, bubbles, word games/puzzles, #solarpunk, #sustainability, a little light yoga, and the Oxford comma. Dislikes: patriarchy, bigotry, billionaires, cars, fossil fuels, ads, #misophonia, #perimenopause, summer, basketball (see: misophonia), cooking, running, clothes shopping, phone calls, and glitter. I'll expound on some of my favorite authors, artists, genres, and titles in a thread. #introduction

Moving from home.social to masto.ai (my 2nd move), here are some notable toots and/or tell what kind of a tooter I am. I'm not going to post links from home.social since it will be closing soon so those toots will be a part of history, I guess.
