alexander,

appalachian | gay man | disabled
please call me alexander or bellwether.i hold value in my privacy. please be advised the above is
not an exhaustive list of ailments, rather a series of identities.i do not believe in public or verbal debate, much less have any interest or energy in such. nor do i see any benefit in reducing my politics to a listable format. i am happy to offer my own rationale, input, and information on relevant topics.
Involvements
college has made it nearly impossible to interact with the local community (...pandemic has not helped), but i have no doubt i will return to my previous engagements as it is made possible.fostering
i usually deal with babies, more specifically hand rearing.
most work is done through central virginia regional rescue.skijoring
not technically yet but like im ready when the day comesmounted sar
literally had my training application filled out over
spring break 2020 and was thinking it was nice i had a little extra time to fill it out.wildlife rehabilitation
my skills are largely limited to birds + transportation.
(not sure if the latter is a skill?)
reminder that if a bird flies into your window you should always bring it to your local rehab clinic.
animal husbandry
the following are animals i deeply enjoy working with
and, when the time is right, will work with again.
blue heelers (breed quality, sport)
heritage chicken breeds (eggs/sale)
coturnix quail (companionship)
rabbits (meat/pelt/project)
sheep (lamb meat/wool)
livestock guardian dogs (working)
goats (milk/cheese)
horse (companionship/sar)
SAR & service puppies (mutual aid)
predetermination
i spend a lot of time looking towards the future
it would seem odd to not place it here
i like to think i am much more my future than my pasti'll be moving to the mountains once i graduate.
i will buy land and live there and one day have a home.
i will tend to my animals and my community with dedication.
i'll get comet off the ground and establish an office nearby,
and i will die in the cool damp earth.
creatives
i care a lot about publishing like a lot it is really easy to set me off about this there is such a horrific amount of bad but the potential for good that countless people are striving for it everyday paired with the raw necessity of story and humor and hope and representation, the amount of humancollaboration and togetherness required to make literally any of this happen is profound yet is commonplace in our lives, Aren't you tired of being nice?
don't you just wanna go apeshit?
Comet Publishings
commerce is not inherently capitalist and i have no desire to spend my life disassociating with a system while effectively damning other people to endure and die under it when i have the option to literally not do that.anyways. Comet Publishings will be (or is, depending on how you see it) a multi-media publishing company, focused on: promoting diversity in mainstream media, giving creators stable jobs and control of their own content, deprioritizing excessive profit margins in exchange for quality content, and maintaining ethical employment practices.i am currently knee-deep in legal work and not prioritizing acquisitions quite yet so i am not hiring anyone for some time.
in about 3 years is when i expect to actually begin bringing projects onboard legally, but also like, i like talking about and helping with projects so feel free to hmu with your stuff :3c
sorted by the frequency that i talk about themsancrosanct
horror - graphic novel duology - scripting
winnie hancock has died, for reasons unknown (very known to everyone with literally the semblance with a brain). Unfortunate for her, she died in a pocket dimension house that isn't hell but isn't not hell. she makes friends while settling into her new life* friends include locke, taylor, alicia, milo, titus, bernice,
and the house.*she is dead.the stars were silent
high fantasy - tba - plotting
watch me care too hard about worldbuilding. thematically about like, cultural revolutions and the slow build of history, but because i cant really draw that: it is also about roan, noel, patil and ophelia. they are traveling across eaon to prevent war from devastating literally everything. also to return a weird rock-girl.
it is a camping-centric plotmurmur
classically styled fairytale - graphic novel - scripting
suyin is a soldier-bard who has lost her ability to write music, having been stolen by a flock* of starlings. she meets genevieve, a beautiful gargoyle, and casimir, a schizophrenic astronomer, who accompany her to the base of the mountain. there, twins Roshanak and Sandhya guide the group to the top. this entire thing is so weird and esoteric. a dry ass bare-bones description of the plot is the best you are going to get from me.m.a.r.l.o.w.e.
