Hi. I'm terrified.

I've been trying to make my own space on the web for years. And I've been stuck. Badly.

But today is my birthday. And I refuse to let another year pass without putting something—anything—out there

So here it is in all its messy glory. My first post on my barely-there #website: https://fromemily.com/hi-im-terrified/

It's not great. But it's okay...enough

And I hope it means something to someone

I've spent a lifetime making myself smaller for everyone.

Making myself the version of me that was most useful and comfortable for everyone around me.

And I *HAVE* to stop before I disappear.

I wrote about learning to TAKE UP SPACE: https://fromemily.com/space-taking-def iance/

Maybe you've made yourself smaller too? Let's TAKE UP SPACE together.

Gonna try an #introduction

– I'm in search of how to use digital spaces authentically

– I'm interested in re-humanizing the web. Using it to connect, not consume or be consumed BY

Among other things, I am...

- #ActuallyAutistic #AUDHD (#Autistic with an #ADHD booster pack 🚀)
- an artist, activist, writer, educator, speaker
- a would-be coder in another life
- sometimes mistaken for a pessimist (though I'd say realist) who still has inexplicable faith in the good of people
- horrible at this
