Originally from Texas, came up here for school over a decade ago and found the weather, people, and ease of queer existence agreed with me a lot more than Texas did! I do miss the landscape and culture of the southwest but I love the landscape and culture here too.

Transformation, BDSM, leather, and petplay are the big ones for me, but there are very few things that completely squick me out hahaha

I mostly walk and take public transit, occasionally biking or using bikeshare if there's a major traffic snafu in the city - I'd probably bike more if I had an ebike which is something I may explore in the future. If I have to leave the city for whatever reason I do drive though, there's some transit access to the suburbs here but primarily one way trips into and out of the city during commuter hours.

Excited to be part of the community here! ((: Really appreciate how deliberate and intentional beehaw is about how it does things and I'm enjoying exploring Lemmy a lot more than my dabbling with Mastodon in the past (which gave me some reference for the fediverse but never really stuck with me since twitter style microblogging was just never my style).
