#Introductions

Hey I'm Sparrow~

I'm 26 and a recent college graduate with degrees in anthropology & psychology. I'm bi (I like ladies & non-binary folks) and ID as non-binary. I use they/them pronouns.

I currently work as a paraeducator in an elementary school setting. I'm hoping to get a second job as a behavior therapist soon.

Other stuff: I like weird art, playing DnD with my pals, reading (especially horror), & enjoying nature/wildlife.

Goodnight ppl and fur folk. :3

I have a video interview scheduled for this Tuesday with the behavior therapy group I'm interested in joining.

I'm nervous! But! I'll probably be okay.

One nice thing: The clinical director of the East Bay office mentions having a wife in her public bio. So hopefully it'll be a place I can be openly queer.

Good morning! Er... 1:57 pm is still morning if you just woke up, yeah?

How's everyone doing today?

My mom just said "I think we should profile white men". GUYS EVEN MY MOM UNDERSTANDS.

Getting the "oh why don't you just grow out your hairrrr?" talk from my family again.

Me: "Queer visibility is important."

Dad: "Do you have to be... *so*... visible?"

Still going for that second job in Behavior Therapy, despite self doubts.

Employers want to talk to me and that's good but also terrifying. My self-evaluation of how well I can do at the job seems totally mood-dependent.

Sometimes I'm "Yeeeah bring it on!!" and other times (like now) I want to cocoon up in some blankets and hide.

Play this game by @ldurrant@mastodon.art​! IT'S HECKING AMAZING.

Oh and afford insulin.

Tho in my dreamscape we have universal healthcare and I don't have to decide between rent and medicine.

I really just want enough disposable income that I can afford to rent a place, buy food, take classes for fun, and give money to all of the wonderful creative people I've met on this website (and those who are in need, whether or not they consider themselves creative).

It's cold and overcast, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee while watching Night Mind videos.

At some point I should probably get up, jog, shower, and be productive, but right now this is nice.

Ya ever just walk around on yer tippy toes for a while so you can feel taller?

Why does my hair do this

It's so goddamn big.

Oh I know, I'll just watch a compilation of silent hill 2 cutscenes.

There's a horror movie on netflix called The Midnight Meat Train.

That is all.

Ooh The Craft is on Netflix. I could do that instead.

I'm trying to find a good horror movie sans sexual violence or pregnancy and netflix is failing me.

I just want ghosts dammit.

For future reference that's what I'm calling my boobs
