Heya, I'm Aud!

If I want my legacy to be one thing...
it would be that my choices made a net positive impact, no matter how small.

In a world that breeds so many negative outcomes...
I want to spend my live undoing even a fraction of that.

Even if we can't change the whole world,
we can change the worlds of others.

Things to be mindful of ~
I'm VERY anti generative-ai.
Reasons include, but are not limited to:
● environmental impacts
● copyright infringement / issues of consent
● brain developmental harms
● deepfakes
● etc. (all of which negate the positives, in my eyes)

Put my artwork or likeness into gen-ai without my consent, all while knowing where I stand, and you'll make a clear enemy out of me.
I tend to get anxiety around the future and starting things. This often comes up as overwhelm / preemptive drops in energy around the idea of doing tasks or engaging in conversation.
Forgive me in advance if, as a result, I don't respond to messages or fulfill requests in a timely manner.
If this ends up bothering you, I'd rather know as soon as possible.
Some of my pet peeves:
● Low effort messages (I'd rather receive late messages over generic, half-baked ones)
● Constant use of socially scripted conversation starters (ex: "hi" "how are you?" "what are you doing?" etc.)
● Insincere / performative apologies
● Social immaturity (ex: slang use every 5 seconds, being unwilling to hold a normal conversation, etc.)
A quick list of where I stand on ~ controversial ~ matters

● I'm very accepting of LGBTQ+ identities and neuro-divergence; the research shows their validity and I hate when I see people's ignorance get in the way of treating them with basic human respect. You don't have to understand it in order to treat people kindly and let them freely and peacefully live their lives.
● I do believe there's a God or divine presence out there, but I'll never follow an institution. My spirituality is mine alone and doesn't compromise science.
● The people with high amounts of money and power right now, without naming anyone specific, seem to be some of the worst people and whom I cannot support. "You cannot serve both money and God."
