Nora is rebuilding...New Fedi, new <a href="https://enby.life/tags/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> post~ Hi, I'm Eleonora! I'm a 39 year old American trans woman living in the UK! I'm an ADHD, autistic individual who identifies as polyamorous, sapphic, and demi-ace. If the entity reading this knows me from elsewhere, then welcome back! I hope we can be friends and have fun together! :ElainaHeart: This fedi blog is mostly a personal reflection of myself, my interests, my mental health struggles, trans rights advocacy, and a place where I can be cute and flourish. I gently ask that anyone who follows me or interacts with me be 18 years of age or older, as I can and will post NSFW content. All follower requests will be vibe-checked for the sake of my/my friends' safety. Basically, just be 18 or older, not have an empty biio, and respect others and I'll likely accept it! :blob_cat_salute: My topics and interests include: - Anime - Sapphic/lesbian content (memes, etc) - Mecha (Gundam, Gunbuster, Franxx, etc) - Retro console gaming and related technology - Posting about my girlfriends (of which I currently have two) - Work regarding my charity - Girls - Mental health (both personal and advocacy for) - Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) - Monster Hunter (the new title is Wilds. HMU?) - Old digital/analog technology - LGBTQIA+ culture - Being a trans mom Due to some interactions on my previous fedi, I have to set some boundaries (I'm in my villain arc, I guess?) - I am demi-asexual. That means do not heavily flirt with me or approach me sexually without asking for consent! If unsure, ask. It's okay to, I promise. - Do not be weird to my girlfriends or overstep my polycule boundaries, please. I don't like blocking entities. - Anything that happened in the past (iykyk), stays in the past for everyone's benefit. I shouldn't have to even say this, but I do. - I am autistic and I struggle with RSD; please don't approach me in vague terms. It's important to communicate with me bluntly and concisely, because I am dense. I'll add more here as I go, so expect edit notifications XD But thanks so much for reading! Have a wonderful day! <a href="https://enby.life/tags/noraposting" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#noraposting</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/autism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/adhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/makingfriends" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#makingfriends</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/anxiety" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#anxiety</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/transfem" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transfem</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/sapphic" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sapphic</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/retro" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retro</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/mecha" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mecha</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/ffxiv" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ffxiv</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/monsterhunter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monsterhunter</a>

Maybe the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/joinIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#joinIn</a> crowd wants to organise a game today?

Autumnfox (aka Fopsywoo)Please, never just say "hi" when you message someone you never talked with before.Instead, in addition to a polite greeting, say a little about yourself and why you're messaging the person.This creates a connection right away, makes you interesting, and gives a topic to discuss. This also makes most folks less likely to simply ignore you and/or get annoyed by you.Want to make friends? Don't just say hello. Instead, give a reason for the other person to want to talk with you.Also, NEVER message just to sell your goods/services.Hope this helps!<a href="https://meow.social/tags/PSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PSA</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/annoyances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#annoyances</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/makingFriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#makingFriends</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/etiquette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#etiquette</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#communication</a>
