About
Blessings and greetings! I'm an autistic trans woman (she/her), a left-leaning, progressive Muslim, an artist at heart, a fairly precarious cosmopolitan dweller, and a long-time RYM user. I have been writing poetry, essays, criticism on arts, including music. Regardless of the artistic medium, my preferences tend to go towards almost anything I might find interesting, quirky, engaging with my senses as well as intellect and, ideally, feelings too.
