I am one of those legions of butt-posting bloggers who fills folks' dashes with goofy memes, naked chubby dudes, proclamations regarding liberated sexuality and gender identity, and video game art.

24-year-old agender dude, prefer 'they/them' pronouns. I started this blog to talk about sexuality and TF2 and now I reblog what I want and y'all jes gots to deal wit it. Right now there're lots of robots and I'm not sorry at all.

I co-moderate the Cap the Point Livejournal TF2 comm with the lovely DJ. There, I play the RED Engineer and RED Soldier. We are super friendly and adorable and if you like TF2, character-building, and good times you should come find us. :D

But that isn’t their only sacrifice: Pollution is crippling some tribes’ culture.
