Hello! I’m an Aussie Panda. I’m into law, birds (primarily the pet type), writing (fiction/fanfiction), and video games. I work at a legal centre where I spend my shifts helping people — this makes my day.

House rules: I’m much blunter online than in person. If I think you’re wrong, I’ll probably tell you and explain why instead of staying quiet. Over a decade in retail taught me many things, including needing to have a shiny backbone for jerks.

I don’t downvote just because I disagree with someone. I reserve that for comments that wander out of “reasonable difference of opinion” and straight into “wow, that was a... choice...” or for unnecessary rudeness. You can make a point without being rude. This might come as a surprise to some out there. Surprise! It's true.

Despite what I say above, I’m actually not a jerk. If you need a random internet weirdo to listen to you, I’m here. I know what it’s like to feel unheard, and yes — I genuinely do care. If I can help you in any way, I will. Email: e e m c a 1 @gmail.com (remove spaces) if you ever need a friendly ear.

I forgive even if I don’t forget. I’m usually civil — even if you aren’t, or haven't previously been to me — but I have a good enough memory to remember if you've been needlessly obnoxious. You can disagree without being rude, which is apparently something of which not everyone is aware. As cliché as the line may be, kindness is free.

Stay safe and well, lovely Pandas ❤️
