Fox in the Shell 💜🐾🦊<p>Been putting this off for a few days, but here goes nothing. <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/intro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intro</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a></p><p> My name is Kaylie, though many just call me Fox. I’m a 36 going on 13 year old trans girl originally from the desert now residing in the Midwest with my girlfriend Wednesday and our three cats, Mia, Nala and Harley.</p><p> This account is my alt, with my main being found at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tweesecake.social/@LavenderPawprints" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>LavenderPawprints@tweesecake.social</span></a></span>. Expect some cross posting between the two, with longer posts coming from this one thanks to the much larger character limitations. Also expect this one to be somewhat more personal at times.</p><p> I’m <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autistic</span></a>,, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/VisuallyImpaired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VisuallyImpaired</span></a>, hard of hearing, struggle with mental health and a bunch of other little things, but I prefer not to have my worth weighed out by the extensiveness of my disability and challenge list. To me, life is life and we all godda make the best of what we got.</p><p> So what are my interests?</p><p> Well, I’m a <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/musician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musician</span></a> who writes and records my own <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a>. I play mostly <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/guitars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guitars</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/synths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synths</span></a> and <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/keyboards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keyboards</span></a>, but can hold my own with other things like percussions and the like. I can’t really play any wind instruments though. I done smoked too much in my time. :P</p><p> I play everything from <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/progressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>progressive</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Metal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metal</span></a>, to <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/gothic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gothic</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/industrial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>industrial</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/ambient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ambient</span></a> to <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/EDM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EDM</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Synthwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Synthwave</span></a> and <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyberpunk</span></a> inspired to <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/dubstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dubstep</span></a> to <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/experimental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>experimental</span></a> and everything in between.</p><p> I also love reading and writing, mostly fantacy and science-fiction, but will read just about anything if it’s something that sounds good.</p><p> Academically, I study generative <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> as well as <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Elementary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elementary</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a>. I’m a strong supporter of <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/YouthRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouthRights</span></a> and <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/YouthLiberation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouthLiberation</span></a> and believe with all my heart that kids are an oppressed minority who deserve to be able to show us all that they are capable of much more than just being those tag-alongs that so many parents treat them as. <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Unschooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unschooling</span></a> is a very valid form of education that doesn’t oppress youths but gives them the freedom to choose their own path and inform themselves through self-directed learning and play. Trust me, I can wax poetic about this stuff for hours. 😊 </p><p>Though I don’t have kids myself, something that causes a lot of emotional distress to me, I’m still a supporter of <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/GentleParenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GentleParenting</span></a> and live the <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/youthLiberationist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youthLiberationist</span></a> ethics in practice. Kids, to me are as equal as anyone else. The only thing that separates us is lived experience and age. </p><p> I’m also a casual <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/gamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamer</span></a> who has considered streaming on and off for a while but has never actually done so. I play with a lot of emulators too and love reliving the old days. <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retro</span></a></p><p> I do make some <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/AIArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIArt</span></a> from time-to-time using Stable Diffusion, though admittedly I haven’t been as active on that front lately due to mental health burnout.</p><p> Also love <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/anime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anime</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/cartoons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cartoons</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/TV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TV</span></a> when I actually have the money to pay for streaming services, and <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> are fun too when the <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> allows me to sit still long enough to get through one.</p><p> Other things that matter to me are making and keeping real <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/friendships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>friendships</span></a>. I’d rather have a few really solid people to call family than have a bunch of people who aren’t as in it for good as me.</p><p> I’m also a <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/stoner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stoner</span></a> and am very pro #420, like my <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Vodka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vodka</span></a> and <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/RedBulls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedBulls</span></a> from time-to-time, and I’m a recovering addict who has over six years clean from most things that nearly claimed my life. I fully appreciate the struggles of <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/DrugAddiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DrugAddiction</span></a>, and will always listen to anyone who may be struggling or who needs someone who understands. <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/YourNotAlone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YourNotAlone</span></a></p><p> I judge absolutely no one for anything beyond observable behavior. I mean that too. I don’t judge anyone anything.</p><p> Am a <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tea</span></a> drinker and <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/coffee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coffee</span></a> lover, I love <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a>, and I’m always doing experimental mad scientist things in the kitchen.</p><p> I also identify as a long-time <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/furry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>furry</span></a>, though the community has grown stagnant, too commercialized and for public consumption in recent years. Some would probably say that my whiskers are grey, for all the time I’ve been around in one form or another. That’s to say, I’ve seen a lot in the furry fandom, and where it’s at now just makes me sad because it’s not like it used to be.</p><p> Otherwise, anything you may wish to know is always a DM away. I’m very approachable, or at least I try to be. The only dumb questions are the ones you don’t ask. As such, I invite your curiosity.</p><p> Just remember, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/YouthRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouthRightsAreHumanRights</span></a>, live love and laugh, and know that for as cold and as dark as this world can be, there’s still <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/good" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>good</span></a> to be found. </p><p>Much love and hope to make new friens and reconnect with old ones out here.</p>
