/|\(◦,◦)/|\ Neurodivergent Parent just trying to enjoy life without tripping over my karmic debt. I enjoy Alt music from many genres and I’m a DIY sorta fella. I read, craft, listen to vinyl, and meditate.
I enjoy a good morning cup of Joe and a relaxing evening of crafting or listening to records.
I'm always making something to decorate the house with or to wear. I use my sewing machine & embroidering machine quite often, and I also do textile/vinyl printing. DIY culture is a huge thing for me. I also enjoy my IEP advocacy work for special needs children, teaching a garden class at school, and playing music.. although I rarely play these days
