#Introduction, I guess. I'm not new per se, but everyone's doing it, so here goes.
I'm Amber Alex. Queer, neurodivergent, 23. Pronouns are subject to change at the moment, so let's go with she/her for now (more detailed in bio).
What else do you put in a post like this? I dunno. I like and make music (metal, punk, mostly), books (SF and YA fantasy mostly), nerd stuff (ST, ATLA, DW). Sometimes programming and soldering stuff. I use the word stuff a lot.
No selfie for privacy reasons.
Pinned tweet time! Let's talk follow requests.
I keep my account locked, meaning I have to approve each new follower. I'm fairly picky about that, have been on Twitter (not sure how much I'm gonna keep that up now that I'm here). Over there, I curated my followership quite extensively.
If you're queer, an outspoken ally (outspoken means visibly so), a friend of friends, or look to me like a good person: welcome!
All others: please don't take it personal if I don't approve your follow request.
Not being a cunt, a dick or an ass increases your chances of getting whichever of those it is you're looking for.
Sharing a 7-tweet thread from @ekverstania@twitter.com in one toot:
‘You’re not really trans, it’s trauma.’
‘You’re not really autistic, it’s trauma.’
‘You don’t have a physical illness, it’s trauma.’
.

If you’re in clinical practice and you say these things, you can now call yourself a trauma expert, because you know how to cause trauma.
shitty doctors
It finally happened: I called an ambulance and EMTs and doctors pretty bluntly told me to stop calling ambulances.
Sorry for being dizzy, short of breath, in pain, shaking, coughing my lungs out, unable to hold a clear thought, and feeling like I have the worst fever of my life, I guess? Next time I wake up in the middle of the night because I feel like I'm about to collapse I'll just collapse, I suppose.
Laut Presse ist #Gewalt gegen #Polizisten fast immer #linksextrem. In 99% der Fälle ist das falsch!

May contain traces of neurodivergence. Part-time woman, full-time nuisance. Cisn't. Now you say ‘pronouns in bio’ because you have no other jokes.
Anti-fascism. Intersectional & queer feminism. Prison abolition. Liberation for all. International solidarity.
Not a fan of discourse. I've been around long enough to see every queer infighting done several times over, so spare me the bullshit.
Disabled. White. Adult, in case that matters. Thank fuck not American.
