more about me
about
I'm Amira or Ami or whatever gets thrown my way. I'm 26 and use she/her pronouns. I have been with my husband Adir for 8 years :-)
I identify as cisgender for simplicity, but my gender is incredibly tied to my culture and is not the 'expected' white cishet womanhood. I identified as nonbinary for about a decade
I am a practicing reform Jew. being reform has no bearing on 'how Jewish' I am - I go to shul every week and am very actively involved with my synagogue. I am reform for the sake of values I want to see in my community; my practice is closer to conservative Judaism
I am Mizrahi via Lebanon and Ashkenazi via Lithuania and Ukraine. both are important to my current sense of identity. I am learning Hebrew
my indigeneity to Eretz Yisrael and my connection to Am Yisrael is incredibly important to me. it is not up for debate and has nothing to do with Bibi or Palestine or Kahanists or whatever other bullshit you come up with. I plan to make aliyah by 2028
I am from Appalachia. I am not as connected to this land as I am to Eretz Yisrael, but it is still very important to me, and I love it here. I am a hick and proud to be a hick
in the Israeli political sphere, my beliefs line up more with Yesh Atid than any other party. in the American one, I do not believe my politics can apply to one single party. I am a Jew. my politics are Jewish
I am explicitly pro choice, believe in taking care of everyone in your society regardless of their ability, and am heavily community based. the kibbutzim are my ideal society. I considered myself a leftist up until 7/10, when that community showed me exactly what it was
I work teaching supplemental math K-12 to students with developmental disabilities. on Sunday mornings, I teach the 5-6 grade class at my synagogue's religious school. in my free time, I can usually be found watching NCIS or playing Pokemon

health
I have PDA autism which is severely disabling to me. I am blunt and I say what I mean. if you need clarification from me, ask
I struggle to speak to new people; if I ignore comments or DMs, this is why. I do better in groups with people I am already comfortable with
I have combined type ADHD and C-PTSD. I have multiple sleep-wake disorders. I spend a lot of time sleeping or very low energy. I am frequently heavily medicated and rarely entirely functional
I have hEDS and the various issues that go with it (POTS + gastro issues, mainly), as well as fibromyalgia. I cannot stand or walk for very long and rely on mobility aids, bracing, and K tape

boundaries & info
I cannot use or understand tone tags. if you need tone clarification, ask me, but assume my baseline is neutral
I cannot use it/its pronouns for people. I struggle with neopronouns and will use auxiliary pronouns if you have them
if you would like to dehumanize me for being a Jew, waste your time elsewhere
free West Asia from Iran. free Eastern Europe and Asia from Russia. zionism is a successful land back movement. Arabs outside Arabia are colonialists. free the Yezidis. free Kurdistan. fuck your Axis of Terror. fuck Islamists
I block liberally and often
feel free to ask me about anything, including disability. I do not mind and will not be offended
