small running machine

since i'm thinking about returning to tumblr and posting more regularly, i figured it's time i made a proper introductory pinned post!

my name is k and i use he/they pronouns. i'm transmasculine and i started hrt in june 2025! i'm bisexual and probably on the ace spectrum but i don't have a word to describe where i am on it yet. speaking of spectrums, i'm also neurodivergent and almost definitely autistic. i have a fantastic girlfriend; we're both poly so you may hear me mention other partners/lovers in the future.

i'm in my early twenties and a college student in the northeastern part of the u.s. (unfortunately). politically i consider myself an anarchist, but i appreciate a number of ideas from various other leftist schools of thought. i'm a community organizer and a lot of what i do involved cleaning up sharps waste/biohazards and distributing food to my city's unhoused population.

in my free time i like to take photos, play guitar, go to basement shows, paint, and write! i work in technical theatre (mostly lighting/carpentry) and for someone who's pretty staunchly anti-work politically, i do love my job :)

dms are open but i might be the world's worst texter, fair warning! if you want to start the convo here's some ideas for things to talk about:

-how the titanic's sinking could have been prevented

-anti-capitalism/anti-fascism

-new england (usa) lore

-music (anything rock-ish is a safe bet)

-queerness

-technical theatre

hey y'all!

not sure if any of the people who followed me when i was really active on here during covid times are still on here/if they'll see this but guess who's back anyways with another life update!

it's been a hot minute since my last life update but i'm still in college, still studying psych and theatre. still a stagehand. i've gotten into the community organizing scene in my city, and quite often it feels like it's what keeps me sane.

i came out to my parents in late may and started hrt on june 11! it's been four months and a week now and it's incredible how much better i feel.

most of the reason i'm on here is because my girlfriend mentioned tumblr when we were going to get brunch this morning and it got me thinking about this account and the people i connected with on here. if any of you read this i hope you're all doing well <3

i have a cool little apartment with an awesome roommate in a nice neighborhood, i'm almost out of college, and i'm finally reconnecting with the basement show scene in my city. as i'm writing this out to tell you all where my life is at right now, i'm realizing that despite all the things on the global stage that are forever bouncing around in my mind, my life right now is so much greater than i ever would've envisioned it being when i first created this blog. i might try to revive it and get into proper blog-style posting (definite departure from what i've posted so far); we'll see!

again, just wanted to drop in with my irregularly-scheduled proof of life and remind any of my old mutuals who still check their blogs that i love them and wish the best for them (same for those who don't check their blogs anymore, of course)

love,

absolutely wild that i can come back here after a months- or years-long hiatus (just popping back on to see what the tumblr community has to say about the umbrella academy because i’m almost done w the first season) and still find people liking stuff from my covid-era newsies phase. is this what they meant by “what you put on the internet is forever”?

hey everyone, i'm back (for at least a little while)!

it's been a hot minute but when i logged on i saw that a lot of posts on my other account captainhawkeyepierce were still getting notes long after i went on my little multi-year hiatus.

anyways, i logged on to thank you lovely people for providing the grounds for the paper that just saved my psychopathology grade, aka eight pages of me psychoanalyzing hawkeye to hell and back. the foundations of a lot of the arguments i made came from headcanons and generally-accepted theories i've read in the community on here and that was what i built my final paper around. so i just wanted to say thank you all for giving life to the theories that became my psychopathology final paper. couldn't have done it without y'all.

since it's been a while, i figured i'd do a little life update below the cut; also i might try to get back into posting on here. content warning for discussion of depression/mental health challenges.
