Tagged by @enscenic. It’s past my Sunday bedtime, I’ve got both my wrist braces on, and I’m ready to party.
Name: lol
Sign: Sagittarius. I don’t care whether horoscopes are “real” or not, though I have had a good bit of anecdotal evidence for the former. Whatever the case, I think that the things that resonate with people are valuable despite their truth, particularly when it comes to self-categorization. I’m dubious of the concept of truth or reality overall. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Height: on the shorter side of 5′5″ish
Average hours of sleep: 6-7 usually. More on weekends.
Lucky number: wut? Probably zero? I have never considered this before literally ever? No wait, that’s not true. When I was young and “cool”, I probably would have said 13. Muahahaha. (⬅️ another thing I would have typed then)
Last thing I googled: *clears throat on a mountaintop before bolding speaking into the echoing abyss* “sonatype nexus”
Number of blankets I sleep with: One duvet all to myself. Bae gets his own top blanket, in the Norwegian style, and I’m pretty sure it’s saved our relationship overall.
Favorite fictional characters: Amanita from Sense8; Garnet & Steven & Connie; Ruby Rod from The Fifth Element; Jet from Tank Girl; Mary from The Secret Garden; Donna Meagle from Parks & Rec; Jane Eyre and so many more from books and etc etc. I feel strange about character worship overall, though.
Favorite book: This is too vague. How about the book I read to reconnect with myself? The author I can read when I’m overwhelmed with reading? The book that helps me feel the world has a sense of purpose? A book that allowed me to be comfortably black? These are better questions, which might even garner answers.
What are you wearing right now: Somehow matching t-shirt and flannel pajama pants. The aforementioned wrist braces. And, I can quite honestly say, jizz-soaked panties. (Isn’t that what this question is usually about?)
When did I start this blog: 26 Jul 2012
Number of followers: This is what you really wanted, eh? I’m around 400 now, and I really hope the 50+% that are porn bots are really getting the fill of their social justice theory.
What do I post mostly: I used to be primarily a porn blog, if you can believe it, but now it’s mostly an awesome mish-mash of brown folks being amazing and gorgeous, nerdy shit, examinations of oppression, and weird elements of my internal aesthetic, with the occasional rope and other kinky things that hit my buttons. This blog started as, and continues to server the purpose of, an experimental testing ground for the parts of me that I’m hoping to fully express irl. For example, for the last few weeks I’ve been examining my shifting relationship with Other People. *Mr. Rogers wave* Come along with me.
Do I run any more blogs: nope, not anymore
Most active follower: @ganzandere at the moment. I barely check it anymore, but when I did it pretty much rotated based on who had scrolled through recently. Based on when I was using the web app more regularly, I think reblogs are rated higher than likes in the algorithm, and mentions higher than that?
What made me get a Tumblr: I can’t remember. But I remember when I started, I was really fascinated by the dash, scrolling each night for hours until I hit the last post I had seen the evening before. I love that if you follow the right few people you can get a broad range of eclectic content on your dash, and that awesome, interesting people tend to lead you to more. Also, tumblr’s creativity is still really inspiring to me.
Why did I get this URL: I am a woman and a switch, kinkwise. I am not particularly small or – quite honestly – cute, but I like the cuteness that -ette engenders. (Emphasis on gender, amirite????)
I won’t tag anyone, but if you liked any of my answers, you should totally do this yourself. I give you permission.
