1) My age and location: 34, Atlanta, GA
2) My self-labels: queer, non-monogamous, trans, genderfree, fat-n-proud, social justice activist, artist, demisexual, expressive, anti-colonizing spiritual pagan Quaker.
3) My posts usually fall into the following categories: introspective reflections on my experiences and relationships; skill-shares about consent, intimacy, and ADHD; discussions of social justice. there are a lot of other things I write about but they're all very sporadic.
4) My favorite things to read on my friends list are: detailed self-examinations. I like social justice too but I have plenty of other sources for it -- here I NEED real intimacy, vulnerable sharing and efforts for growth.
5) My friendship dealbreakers are: slurs, fat-phobia, cis-centrism, selfishness when it gets to the level of damaging others.
6) I post entries on average once every [day, 2 days, week, etc]: 4 days, when I'm my usual self
7) I consider myself more knowledgeable than the average person (average from people I've known) on these topics: ( ... )

Hi! I saw this entry on the livejournal home page, explored your journal a little, and added you because I enjoyed reading what little of your writing I've read so far, and think you have a unique perspective.

I might come back and do this quiz to try and find some more friends, but I'm still thinking on the "self-labels" question. I present and mostly interact with the world as straight/cis-female, but hopefully I don't come off as too cis-centric (I'd love to know when/if I do), but wouldn't really label myself that way...

Anyway, I won't be hurt if you aren't interested in my journal, but just wanted to let you know that I'm reading yours!

oof, it is terrible that it would take a magic wish for you to get number 8, when it should be a given!

I'm in the UK and would be interested in being LJ friends as you seem a deeper thinker type like me :-) If from my profile write up, you think we might get along, feel free to add with me.

you seem like someone I'd get along well with! and your name seems familiar but I have a terrible memory. Have we LJ-met before?

1) My age and location: 32, Maryland, US

2) My self-labels: Not really sure what this means.

3) My posts usually fall into the following categories:

- Meta. To elaborate, this includes reaction posts/reviews, thoughts on media tropes, and some fandom-specific things. (If you find any mention of fandom grating, I may not be the friend for you.)

- Satire/snarky social commentary (usually social media, but not always).

- Deeper life musings.

- Writing and other artsy stuff.

- Real life, but... I'm not one to recall everything I did today. My RL entries are either things I need to vent about, things I need to squee about, or more anecdotal.

4) My favorite things to read on my friends list are: It honestly depends more on the person, I think. I will say I definitely like having friends who talk about the sort of things I mentioned above.

5) My friendship dealbreakers are: The usual suspects, really - racism, homophobia, etc. Additionally, I find it hard to connect with people who only post bullet points.

6) I post entries ( ... )
