Are you into fandom?: not at the moment...although I am kind of flirting with the soap and comic fandoms on Twitter. Also the romance writers on twitter. Was in Buffy fandom back in the day.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: I've broad eclectic tastes - so just about everything. Currently? General Hospital, Legacies, Bridgerton, The Expanse, Mare of East Town, Yellowstone, This is Us, Million Little Things, Yellowjackets, New Amsterdam, Superman & Lois, K-Dramas, Emotional Dramas, Superhero dramas - WandaVision, Falcon & the Winter Solider, Hawkeye, Loki, Anime, Sandition, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great & Small, Dr. Oakley Yukon Vet, Pixar, Mandalorian, Star Trek: Discovery, The Gilded Age...the list kind of goes on and on.

Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Currently playing the video game Redecorate - where you use various fake cash reserves to buy fake items and redecorate various rooms on your phone. I like games like that - puzzle games. Dominoes. Anything with patterns. Also been playing Wordl. I am not a vidder, and don't like role playing games for some reason, also not a fan of board games. I have enjoyed chess or strategy games.
If you like to read, what do you read?: See above - very eclectic in my taste and moody. I'll read most anything, right now I'm on a romance novel kick - because I need a happy ending, where things are resolved with love not violence, and folks are redeemed and its hopeful. But I binged mystery novels in the past. Love science fiction, fantasy, contemporary, literary (to the extent such a thing exists), comics, poetry, classics (or anything not written in the 19th Century),
plays, etc.

Folk...

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Everything or whatever comes to mind. Lately been doing a daily post about my life during the pandemic (but that will end on March 17 - on the 2 year anniversary).
How often do you update?: Daily - but that will most likely end on March 17.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Flexibility, sense of humor, kindness, and curiousity
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Book reviews, movie reviews, television reviews, theater reviews, film reviews, recommendations, interesting things they are doing at work or at home, trips they've taken, photos, etc.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: I wait a while to friend back - check them out, and determine if the person is legit. Most of my stuff is public though.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: Attacking me in my own journal will piss me off and get someone unfriended or loss access. Do not attack me in my journal. You can fact check or disagree - but be polite about it. I don't mind polite disagreement - I'm often wrong. Also outright racism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny are deal breakers.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I'm liberal? And opinionated? Also snarky, have a dark sense of humor with a very dry wit - that doesn't always come across well on social media? I make fun of everything including myself?

[stasia]

You sound fun and entertaining, and I'd love to get to know you better. I'll go grant you access and subscribe. <3

[stasia]

I'm also interested in writing and reading and science and history! I'm adding you. :D

Re: Sure why not?

[stasia]

Hey there! I'm into several of the things you mentioned and I'm pretty sure I'm not a dick. ...I hope. I'm definitely into cats.

[stasia]

I'm definitely adding you. I'm into all those fibrous fun things and also my husband is from the UK. It's fascinating to see the differences between the two countries.

[atlantisburning]

That's fantastic! I considered going back to school for enviro studies, but ended up going down a different path. And yes, let's do friendship.
