Since I have lots of new followers today, I think it's time to finally update my #introduction post!
My name is Borealis, but most online know me as the LiteralGrill! You can call me Allie or Grill for short. I'm trans and an Ursa, think of a gay bear but in a femme form. She/Her pronouns please!
I actively fight for disability justice and will discuss that here as much as I'll share my love for anime and manga (maybe a little more tbh). I often write essays analyzing media or discussing anime history and you'll find a surprising number of times that those two topics intertwine in my works.
I tend to dig old media formats in general and love weird retro tech! I still avidly enjoy my growing VHS and LaserDisc collections. I have quite the board game collection too with some real oddities in there.
While I am a big supporter of content warnings and you'll see me use them often, you won't find them on educational posts or on anything discussing the realities of my life as a disabled trans person. I will however, always make sure these posts have appropriate hashtags so you can filter them out of your feed. If you need to protect your peace by not following or blocking me, I take no offense and completely understand. I hope you'll understand that not censoring the realities of my life from the world is part of how I protect mine.
I'm often stuck inside as an immunocompromised person in an ongoing pandemic (COVID isn't over and I take it seriously) so I'll rarely turn down a good conversation! Or if you just want to hear me info dump on obscure trivia of some kind that I'm researching for my next big article.
Before I forget... Yes, I'm that bonkers grill that watched Groundhog Day 365 days in a row! So expect my knowledge of time loops to be oddly all encompassing.
Welcome to my little corner of the Fediverse, I hope you'll like it here!
