Hi, I'm Emily!
I use she/they pronouns.
Some things I may post about are:
-mental health
-writing
-lesbian stuff
-knitting
-history
-books (including horror, poetry, sci-fi, and queer romance)
In 2018 I designed the orange and pink lesbian flag which (to my surprise) has become widely used.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.
However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

this is so cool!! you can have your pronouns displayed on your posts if desired, see other people's pronouns if they're using the labeler, or just one or the other

Waited all evening for rain to start so I could strategically time going to bed so I could fall asleep to the sound but I fucked it up. I simply fucked it up. The rain has started and I am wide awake.

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk
as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media
here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
