#theparlourtrick — Public Fediverse posts

New instance, new #introduction:

My name is Maika. I'm a #writer & #photographer based in #PDX where I'm surrounded by #cats, a couple #snakes, and a few #spiders. (More than a few spiders, to be sure, but most of them are tiny housemates who usually excel playing How Not to Be Seen, which is in their best interest because cats.)

I'm #queer, #trans, #nonbinary, & #neurodivergent. I'm part of the mastodon.lol exodus, but I find it unreasonably daunting to write about myself so I've been procrastinating around this #intro for months. You'll find a more thorough #AboutMe at https://liminalflares.com/about

Workwise, I'm a social media director in the field of #grief education & grief support.

I'm also the creator & narrator of the #LiminalFlares #podcast (https://liminalflares.com/) - atmospheric #storytelling of #eldritch #literature (#ShortStories & #poetry) amended to be #GenderInclusive and bedecked in unearthly music by #TheParlourTrick (https://theparlourtrick.bandcamp.com/) & #eerie ambience by my dear sib, Meredith Yayanos.

New instance #Intro part 1:

My name is Maika. I'm #queer, #trans, nonbinary, & #neurodivergent. I'm the creator and narrator of the #LiminalFlares podcast, which you can learn all about by listening to our 1st episode.

It's unlike any that follow: a personal intro, why we're here, and what makes us more than another #podcast of #spooky tales, to say nothing of our phenomenal music & audio engineering by @theremina.

What if there were a place where you could listen to haunting tales, bedecked in unearthly music without smacking into language that breaks the spell of the fiction by pretending people outside the gender binary don’t exist?

#LiminalFlares is a weekly #Podcast of bedtime stories from beyond & in-between. Join me, Maika, your #queer, #trans, #nonbinary narrator, as I read pieces of #eldritch literature amended to be #GenderInclusive.

It's #BandcampFriday and I wrote about the very first time I listened to what remains one of the most haunting and magical albums I've ever heard, A Blessed Unrest by The Parlour Trick, aka @theremina, who is also the lead musician and audio engineer extraordinaire for the #LiminalFlares podcast: https://liminalflares.com/a-blessed-unrest-ful-bandcamp-friday/
