hi, i'm anthers i'm a cis female intersex person, also bisexual i'm neurodivergent, i have severe generalized anxiety, i'm on the autism spectrum, and I suffer from NEADs, or non-epileptic attack disorder, which is a fun thing where my body responds to extreme stress with a form of disassociation where i look like i'm seizing even though there's no electric discharge. i also have run of the mill panic attacks too. i study plants at uni which is where the name comes from, and i tell really shitty puns and that's about it.
guy walks into a bar, there's a few pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling. he goes up to the bartender. "What's up with the meat on your ceiling?" he asks. the bartender smiles and says "House bet. If anyone can jump up from the floor and touch the meat, they get free drinks for the week. BUT, if they miss, they buy everyone drinks for the week. Wanna try it?" the guy considers. "no thanks. I think the steaks are too high." </end example>
Hey! What about plants do you study? I'm a biosci grad student (mostly doing metagenomics, hmu if you wanna know about microbes) so I like hearing about other people's research! My favorite bad pun: "They say all sheep are alike, but actually they have mutton in common."
I'm a major in sustainable landscape horticulture with a focus towards ecological pest management, so taking care of home and garden plant pests, landscape, etc. by using biological controls like milky spore or neem oil or even insect predators as opposed to chemical pesticides. It's really interesting because it overlaps with my interests in entomology and because my whole immediate family either works in sustainabilty- related fields or did, but I don't have the brains to be a electrical engineer building wind turbines or a nuclear energy economist like my father and mother. Gardening is just about my speed.
the guinea pig you have as an avatar looks like a brown and white version of my boy and it makes me happy. :>
Hey, welcome! :D Bad puns...you're gonna fit in real well here, haha. (I fucking love bad puns, they give me life.)
