<p>Some of my Mastodon friends aren’t active on here anymore, so: new <a href="/tags/intro/" rel="tag">#intro</a> post to try to find more folks to follow! Hi, I’m Kila (she/they). Late 30s, disabled, neurodivergent, <a href="/tags/queer/" rel="tag">#queer</a> (asexual lesbian demigirl). I live in rural <a href="/tags/texas/" rel="tag">#Texas</a> where I forage and wander, and care for a lot of <a href="/tags/cats/" rel="tag">#cats</a>. Avid reader, mostly of SFF <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a>, and also writer of speculative fiction. Other interests include fiber arts, hiking, camping, computers (I enjoy playing with Linux distros), fountain pens, BotW &amp; TotK, etc.</p>
