i had a really special moment and wanted to share :) this community helped me figure out my pronouns and feel brave enough to share them actively on my profile! so many of you gorgeous beautiful humans have the coolest bios that help me see and love you through your own eyes. and it made me feel like i want others to understand me through my own eyes too. and that now also includes my pronouns :)

i feel so grateful and happy to share that my pronouns are them/āme/ella, bringing together the three languages and cultures that are my homes: english, telugu, and spanish. i didn’t know i could have multicultural pronouns but i’m learning something new about myself through this community every day, because of each of u who made me feel welcome to be me! throughout this journey, i have kept thinking about the book genderqueer, and how author maia kobabe (e/em/eir) talks about how it feels to find the pronouns that feel like home. i feel at home now 🌻🌧️✨🤍

edit: love you all thank you for the kindness and warmth : ) i feel overwhelmed (in such a good way) with support and will take some time to respond individually but trust i have been rereading each and every single one of your words over and over with the biggest smile ever smilt 🫂🫂🫂

today i got to create a mini gift economy with my friend, who gave me beets, kohlrabi, and watermelon radish from her farm's overflow. last night my family and i cooked homemade food using the beets and today i got to give the food to my friend and her partner! it made me so happy to receive the freshly harvested vegetables from someone i know, get to appreciate their team's hard work, and create something to give back to them. so so cool :)))
