Hello, I'm Sterling, I'm here in California where I've been for the entirety of my life, and I'm about to be 41 in just over a week which means I'm old enough to be some of y'alls mom (okay maybe not, I might finally have surrounded myself with adults but I DOUBT IT) ANYway, I am currently unemployed and trying desperately to rectify that situation
but having worked in a call center for nigh on a decade and still having both health issues and PTSD from that I know I can't put myself in that kind of situation again, but unfortunately like 98% of the available jobs are call center jobs, so this is not as easy as I would hope.
I'm your friendly neighborhood bisexual (which is 'my own and other genders' don't come at me with the 'bi is an inherently transphobic label' bs because that's not true and I will unfriend you if not block you.)
THREE THINGS I WILL ACTUALLY BLOCK PEOPLE FOR! (Look generally I just unfriend because that's good enough) 1: Being a dick on purpose 2: Untagged spoilers 3: Just being unpleasant in general to more people than just me
I'm not entirely comfortable calling myself 'nonbinary' but I do use she/they as preferred pronouns, but like, I'm not gonna get up in arms about it either UNLESS you're doing it because of point 1 above.
Same goes for if you need any content tags, even retroactively, I don't judge and I'm happy to tag things as often as I remember (and I do make an effort to remember)
I live with my cousin, another housemate and a kitty, all of whom I will talk about to varying degrees (my cousin is the landlord, he's in what I can only assume is a mail-order-bride situation but I don't actually know that so I do try not to call it that, the housemate is a good kid but I do complain about how much noise he makes, the cat is new)
OH AND ANOTHER THING! Because apparently this still needs to be said in this the year of our lordt 2023: I'm a multishipper, yes, but that DOES NOT MEAN I will always play the ship!
people write characters differently, just because my Bucky Barnes clicks with somebody's Steve Rogers doesn't mean they're going to click with every Steve Rogers, y'dig?
and also: even tho I multiship, and will play various ships with various people, I MUCH PREFER plotty threads that I can sink my teefs and my claws into and make my brain go brrrrrrt
there was a thing ...somewhere I saw earlier that was 'when you hit 33 these things happen' and it's like 'where's my phone?' and 'doesn't anyone say please and thank you anymore?'
Also, I could have used that thing as far back as my twenties. Hell, my teens. I never was able to stand in one spot for long. Disney without a disability pass would have killed me.
ANYway, I am currently unemployed and trying desperately to rectify that situation
