Academics, Artisans & Altruism

Explicitly FREE participation. I am not here to make money off of you. I will often ask that you bring supplies if you have them OR notify me so that I can bring supplements. I do not tolerate bullying of my members. This is a safe space for minorities and open minded individuals willing to challenge their own perspectives. It is not a requirement to have certain political beliefs, only to be respectful of others' identities and backgrounds regardless of how different they are to you. By joining, you agree to all of this and accept personal responsibility to abide by these few rules I've set.

I am gathering like-minded individuals who love to learn about college level academics in their free time and have a passion for "The Arts"! I am a AUDHD transgender man, who works on robots in a factory for a living while balancing my artistic endeavors in my free time. People like me often are left out of supposedly "inclusive" groups for being too independent/extroverted while also being ostracized for "doing too much" in everyday life and being genuinely unusual.

I am looking for members who will feel at home in a mentally stimulating but autistic friendly environment. You must be willing to participate in (or at least be present for) a variety of painting circles, crafts, boardgames, group discussions/info-dumping, museum trips, and more!

Please let me know if there are any reasonable accommodations I can make for you so that you feel welcome and safe.

The initial two meetings will be a meet and greet, low pressure setting where I can get a read on everyone and adjust for future meetings. You WILL have a say in what we do and can offer suggestions and feedback to me directly.
