Guess I haven't really done an intro of any substance yet. Hi all!

I'm Leah, and I've substituted gay pirate obsession for having a personality. Besides the #ofmd fandom and all the lovely people in it, I greatly enjoy #battlebots, #kaiju movies, #scifi, #parrots, #cats, and #karaoke. I'm a big ol' #reprohealth and #reprorights nerd too.
