Hi everyone! I'm new here. I'm a mostly ace trans femme with a variety of interests such as, but not limited to, music, reading, the outdoors, cooking, fermenting stuff and sometimes gaming. I heard about this place on Bluesky and it sounded like a nice community. I likely won't post much until I get an idea of how this place works.

    Welcome, comrade cat-trans

    until I get an idea of how this place works.

    We pretty much just endlessly shitpost about communist and gay stuff. Takes a bit to get used to the culture here but if you go along with the flow, you should get the hang of it pretty quickly. Reading the Code of Conduct also is a pretty good help.

    I hope you will have fun here.

    Hi and welcome!!!!! kirby-wave

    Glad you were able to make it here, and don’t hesitate to ask any questions about the site if you feel the need.

    Also, I’m intrigued by the fermenting mention… what kind of stuff do you usually ferment just curious?

      I'm not sure if this needs a cw or not so I'm going to be cautious:

      spoiler

      I make meads, wines and seltzers when I can afford it. I also want to try making some fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

        That sounds awesome! I’ve never tried anything like that, but I always wondered about fermenting odd things like peaches, marshmallows, etc. just to see what would happen. Maybe I should get a mead kit at some point and try it out.

          At some point I want to try using some sort of candy like starbursts or jolly ranchers

        When it comes to food, you only need to CW when it’s about meat and body weight.

        From the CoC:

        Topics that must be CW'd 
        Violence towards self such as self-harm and suicide
Violence towards animals or humans such as corpses and carnist products and especially ||abuse, gore, and sexual violence
Traumatic societal harms such as transphobia, sexual and gender oppression, fatphobia and lookism, ableism, sanism, racism, ageism and other bigotry
Other common triggers such as discussion of weight and calories, ableist slurs, abortion, NSFW,*removed* and sexual assault, police brutality, ethnic cleansing and genocide, etc.

      Not lately, sadly. I’ve tried, but have been dealing with some stuff for a few months that’s left me unable to focus.
