I'm Luna! (She/Her)

I just recently graduated high school, and I'm planning on going to college to be a university librarian. Hopefully focusing on history/political science and the like.

I'm very into punk music, especially folk punk. Apes of the State, Pat the Bunny, The Looms, and Dana Skully and the Tiger Sharks. Also really like Demondice's music, though I've been listening to more and more punk lately.

I've been chilling lately, trying to learn the bass, and trying to come up with some more goals for this summer to keep me occupied.

Hello! You can just call me Gone. (They/them)

I'm in my thirties and have been living in Taiwan for about five and a half months after living in the US for all my life. I teach English but will probably move back to America at the end of January next year. My goal when I get back is to teach English to immigrants in the US.

Lately I've been trying to learn Mandarin Chinese so I can speak with the people around me (also it's just a cool language) and watching all the anime that Netflix has in Taiwan. I like doing outdoor activities like going for walks and shorts hikes.

As for music I've mostly been listening to music in Mandarin, since it's helping me learn the language. Astro Bunny, Good Band and Shadow Project have been my go-tos.

Love the mention of Folk Punk. I migrated to the genre from Ska Punk like 4-5 years ago. Granted I don’t listen to it much anymore, it still has a special place in my heart. Misanthropic Drunken Loner by Days n Daze will always be a jam and anything Harley Poe or Amigo the Devil is just the right vibes in October.

Hi y'all! You can just call me Middy!

I'm a 30 yr old guy who loves wrestling, baseball, nascar, and listening to all sorts of music (I have a last.fm profile also using Dr. Middy). Currently living at home while working as a land surveyor (and my parents are great, still love them). I'm pretty introverted overall but do like talking one on one with people or in smaller groups, and recently have been going to a lot of concerts recently.

One day I do dream about working for something in an environmental science field, I'm currently in the process of writing my thesis in this field to finish my masters.

Welcome everyone! It's great to see some new users coming in. Thanks, @arachnosocialism for helping start the conversation!

I'm Mac (He/him)

I'm a Freshman in college studying Chemistry and work within my community to spread STEM knowledge and awareness. I also like reading about foreign affairs/international politics and manga when I can.

I've been listening to a lot of Art-Pop like FKA Twigs, Sophie, Arca, Florence, and Caroline Polachek. I'm also into Spanish/Brazilian Folk (Julieta Venegas, Natalia Lafourcade, Tim Maia). Nonetheless, I'm open to any and all suggestions!

As a first-time mod, I'm so happy to see the community already filled with some amazing users! For the Reddit migrants, please feel free to message me if you need any help.
