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 ]
