seconding this, my gf struggles with tech, i put her laptop on linux mint and shes had a much easier time using it

my phones a samsung, in the quick settings i can add a Sound Amplifier toggle, then i just messed with the settings til i could hear people better

edit to clarify, google pixel phones should have it too, idk about other androids

got some clothing accessories to express myself a little better when im with trusted friends :3

heck no. ive got so many people that i love and as much as i think they shouldnt, they love me back. im hopeful that my life improves, and im figuring out how to be and enjoy being myself. im figuring out how to express myself to people and through art. im discovering music that makes me feel good. and again, the people i love so much and who love me so much.

im never gonna make it happen myself and im kinda scared that somethings gonna make me die

had a kobo clara HD for a bit and liked it, but a kid broke it beyond repair (kinda impressive of the kid tbf) and i decided to get an android one (Meebook M6) for the freedom to do whatever reading in whatever ecosystem, including my local library’s borrowbox, but i do prefer drm free stuff :)

i have a Meebook M6 android ereader for this exact reason!

i like this one, very inclusive

this is gonna be my first time really doing one ^^

i want to work on my awareness of my volume speaking and stuff, read 30 books, and work on voice training :3

local chinese takeaway! weve started doing it every NYE, as well as our usual one off takeaways. we have a really good one (people from all over our half of the country have said its the best chinese theyve had) so im quite looking forward to it :3

random old android phones (theyre fun)

hard drives random people give to me (promise ill use them eventually!)

shadow plushies (hes cool ok!)

ikea otter plushies (people knew i love otters, got me them, im committed to the bit now)

i have a lot of plushies in general but most of them are different

i generally prefer foss - i use arch (btw), all my phone apps aside from a few that dont get internet access anyway, i avoid stuff by big companies for themost part - but i understandit isnt practical to have everything be foss. if i didnt have access to whatsapp, i couldnt message my gf, any of my friends or family, so with things like that, i compromise - in this case, using a matrix bridge. also, if something is closed source but probably fine, ill allow it, but foss is my preference. im very passionate about it :3

it gets a bit rough with things like youtube, i love newpipe and freetube but girl google makes it such a pain with the constant IP blocks qwq

not-used-to-this-new-keyboard-yet-ese lol

they/them user here! in my lwmguage, its they/them (im english.) hope this helps!

took me a very long time to figure out the disembodied hand hung on the left was in fact a glove

do people like, know their doctors like that? its always just been get a letter saying get vaccinated, we book, and its some random NHS place and a doctor ive never seen

you wouldnt steal an art

quite a few modern Sonic the Hedgehog games

some of the games have been quite mid (though i still enjoy anything sonic for the most part, thankfully i dont look at things very critically and can just enjoy a piece of media) but the soundtracks rarely fail to get me in a good mood!

im glad they exist for emergencies but i have a few reasons that i prefer to avoid them. theres the thing with germs, and also being on binary, things can be a little uncomfortable with gendered bathrooms, and urinals are the worlds worst idea, i hate that i ever had to use them! gender neutral bathrooms are a bit easier for me. they can be convenient at times but i will always try to hold it til im home if possible personally

only person i hide absolutely nothing from is my gf, i definitely present differently around different people, especially family
