2020 Friending Meme

[st_aurafina]

This helped me a lot in early 2017 when Trump had just been elected, and I am hoping we can get the same feeling going again, after the UK election was such a shock.

Connections are important when it feels like the world is getting darker. Fandom is a huge and strong network of people. We don't always get along, but we're stronger together.

Make new friends, reconnect with those who have drifted, enlarge your circle, and know you are not alone.

To play, cut and paste this text into a comment, fill out the details and tell us about yourself. Then go find new people to add.

ETA on Sat morning AEST: This text box was functionally busted a few hours ago, so if you grabbed the code then, you might have an image with no link. It's fixed now, with all new alt text for screen readers. If your promo link is just an image, please replace the code with what's in the box now. Thanks for all the posts, btw! Giraffes popping up everywhere.

DW username: used_songs
Preferred pronouns: she/her
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): I'm everywhere and nowhere!
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Mr. Robot, MCU, Marvel comics, teaching, history, and music. Also, I love dogs.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I relentlessly promote my music com beautifulmechanical :)
I post about: mostly real life (which is why most of my posts are locked). I teach history to mainly EL students in a middle school and I keep that stuff locked down to preserve privacy. All my fic gets posted in coms and on AO3, but I sometimes talk about fandom on my journal. I also talk about my wife and make picture posts every now and then.
I post/check my feed: several times a week
I want to find people that post about: music, comics, board/card games, gardening, cooking ... life?
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW. You can hit me up on twitter, but my tumblr is a wasteland.
My blog is: mostly friends-only
Anything else you need to know about me: I have a hello visitor post here, although it's not very forthcoming. All I can say is, Take a Chance on Me!.
