my gender is as solid as water slipping through my hands. that also happens to fall directly into smoking oil.
Hello every buddy. :] A friend & comrade pointed me to this site and the first thing i said was "this is literally everything i was led to believe bluesky would be" Super grateful to be shown the true light. The disillusionment with butterfly app..... it is gnarly. I am being silly about it, but when I've been doing what i can to help another trans friend (who's Black and disabled) in the middle of needing to be rehoused (needing for the past months... well. it is also frustrating & scary! Completely different feeling to when i come here and immediately see Palestinian donation incentives on the front page.
This site has been a breath of fresh air. But i'm also so confused. LOL. What's it like here? Did i miss any etiquette? what do you guys talk about the most? What do you call this type of social media? Is it even a social media?! -- Feel free to answer one or all or none, I'm just happy to be here.
Would it be ok to drop some art, too?? Queer & trans art (& gay people in beautiful landscapes) is the #1 thing i love drawing & sharing most but, I've failed to connect with anyone who cares about the same things i do T_T especially anyone queer.
AHHH and if it peaks any interest at all!! 100% of my commission funds has been supporting my previous mentioned friend, Mem. They're waiting on approval but still hundreds of dollars out to afford mover/cleaners/first month rent. I'd be glad to compensate any support you give. I've a form here: https://forms.gle/FrbRSDA3SgNnYjwR9
You can also just donate directly: linktr.ee/torqu111 (it is time-sensitive, so please don't use GFM for the time being!)
I may lurk, but am always open to messaging and meeting you all from here on out [ big teethy smile ]
There's lots of bits and in-jokes, but people are super friendly so if you're ever confused just ask wtf people are talking about and they'll usually answer earnestly. My comment history is proof of that lol.
Love the art!
As for what people talk about the most, it depends. I would say like any social media you run into nowadays, the majority of it is politics, news, socialism, and dunking on the other side of politics (in our case it's dunking on conservatives and liberals), but in terms of other things I've seen people talk about video games, comics, horror movies, anime, programming, and books. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see more art content.
