New Instance, New #introduction

I'm a #millennial #transgender #woman in the #Chicago area. I am #ActuallyAutistc and #ADHD flavors of #neurodivergant I also have #cPTSD and I'm working though that. Very fun.

I work in the #tech industry as a #productmanager I don't talk about it much right now because I'm not super happy with this part of my life.

Hobby wise... I'm into #anime #videogames #scifi #dogs #trains #writing #politics and #camping you may hear about any of these things from time to time if you follow me.

My real passion is that I also #write a #hopepunk #webnovel called Last Contact.

I'm an elder #millennial. I'm astounded at the level of #racism I grew up around. As a youngster I didn't give it any thought. But damn, everything turned out to be a lie. Starting with elementary school and "Indians", until HS and glossing over black history.

The #quantum problem of personal growth appears to be the older generations hanging on to power longer at the expense of cultural education and growth of youth.

A financial #paradox easily solved by the transfer of wealth in a balanced method between generations.

my wife crawls up from the lightless tunnels that twist and branch for miles upon miles beneath the moors on moonless nights, hungry for blood. the villagers despise me, but they don't understand how much worse it would be should my wife not receive her sacrifice #relatable #millennial #relationship

I keep wondering about #racism.

Here, in #Germany, i'm a #Millennial; we've been taught that we shouldn't discriminate, based on biological/genetic attributes!

Then, i see bi-partisan multi-racial actors in the USofA, arguing nonsense, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with biological race.

Racism seems to have become some kind of "race", as in formula 1 racing.

Are "WE, the people" on the same page, still?
edit: or is all that #confusion just some kind of psy-op?

I'm eating avocado toast for lunch. And as an elder #millennial, there is no food I feel more conflicted about.

"Perhaps, of course, it’s simply that the mantle of cool has passed to the next generation and we millennials need to get over it." —Chloë Hamilton for The Guardian

Girls don't want flowers, they want the new Peanuts Tamagotchi that lets you take care of and interact with Snoopy and other characters, and comes with a red Snoopy doghouse-shaped silicone case to store it in.

Some life milestones prompt a new #introduction:

I'm Kali Ranya, #admin of vtuber.house. I'm a hobbyist #vtuber on #Twitch, https://twitch.tv/kaliranya, in it for self-expression and community rather than fame and money. I do cozy #SFW chillstreams including narrative games, fiction reading, and collabs!

I'm an elder #millennial who has, at midlife, finally realized she's #transfem. I started #HRT in March 2023--between 20-30 years late, I'd say. We shall see what comes of it!
