Intro to Me

Name: Zia

Age: 18

Sexuality: Omnisexual and i prefer being T4T

Gender: Agender

Pronouns: Any (transphobes can't misgender me 😎)

Currently in: America

Likes: Stephen King books/movies, The Last of Us, Batman (mainly the Arkhamverse), MCU, South Park, anything horror really, all kinds of music, crafting, painting, drawing, writing, nature, alternative aesthetics

Dislikes: Bigots in any shape or form, creeps, people who don’t respect boundaries (ALL DO NOT ENTER!)

Boundaries: I am a safe space for queer people, trans people, neurodivergent people, people with weird (weird means cool to me) hobbies, etc etc.

I don't care as long as you are not hurting anyone or thing and you aren't a bigot.

I am here to make friends with people in my age range (preferably no one below 18 and no one above 25 ish)

I am taken so no flirting.

Another thing, I am 100% someone u can talk to about whatever and that includes venting BUT please please do not send SH or “i did a bad 🥺” or anything like that. please for the love of the universe don’t. And if I tell u that I’m not in a proper headspace for u to vent at the moment, please respect that.

Extra Stuff: if u have a discord or insta, I'd prefer if we communicate over there just because I find it easier to text there, but if u don't have one or don't want to, it's perfectly fine <3 if u do wanna chat over there, i’ll message u my username.

thanks so much if u actually read all this. i hope i can make some friends. <3

At first I was like ooh can't wait to go sleep over at my boyfriend's today!

Then I remembered, ohhhh I'm going to the ballet today after work too with some friends!!

And I started my day by booking a flight to Prague during my Xmas break in the UK

And, idk man, life is really good right now.

Do you think the manga will still be up in December? Because if it ends before that and there's time for the editorial in my country to translate and print, maaaaaaybe I'll buy the whole collection at once as a gift for myself 👀

[adara-writer]

So I was going to do a whole bunch of writing last night and then my laptop started acting up. I’m going to try and get it fixed today (the trackpad is being really glitchy) but if not I guess this chapter is going to be written on a loaner laptop from the library or without the use of the trackpad.

Just listening to the TM podcast and Ed said 'it's a big if'. Alex Horne is infecting people with this and I love it.

All billionaires are fake, rotten, fraudulent Christians. If God is real he's gunna beat the brakes off all these money/wealth-hoarding assholes who can't keep his name out of their lying, cruel, heartless, selfish mouths.

[visenyaism]

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

(*all these links and more now in this rentry page. will no longer be updating this post, instead refer to the rentry page)

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

probably my most powerful interpersonal communication hack is to, whenever possible, ask either/or questions rather than yes/no questions

for example, when chatting with coworkers, i’ll often ask if they have any fun weekend plans. but let’s be real - we all feel like friendless losers when someone asks that question and we go “uhhhhh… no.” so instead, i phrase it as “so, do you have anything fun planned over the weekend, or are you just going to enjoy having some time to relax?”

phrased like this, there’s rarely any awkwardness. you’ve presented two options & given both equally positive connotations, so your conversational partner has an automatic “out,” so to speak

but it works for higher stakes conversations too!!!! my mom was saying this weekend how she and her neighbor both like walking around the neighborhood & that she wanted to suggest they take a walk together sometime, but was worried about how to approach the conversation

so i said “how about you just say ‘i’ve noticed we both like taking walks! would you be interested in going for one together, or do you use walks for some precious alone time?’”

now Walking Neighbor has an automatic “get out of jail free card” if she wants to say no!!!! which means my mom doesn’t have to worry about the conversation being uncomfortable, because she’s set it up to go smoothly

either/or questions rather than yes/no questions. it is really like magic
