It is a mystery

Hello fellow peoples, I'm updating my about me page so I can sticky this post now that I've figured out how to do that. 

I'm Unicornduke or Duke on the internet, I do just journal about my life on here. I do a lot of fiber arts stuff, spinning is my favorite, but also weaving (backstrap loom, four shaft counterbalance loom, tablet weaving), crochet, and knitting. I host a weekly crafting hangout on zoom, the link is posted every Monday morning, or at least by 6pm that day. I also am an avid gardener and seed saver. 

Baking is another passion and I have to be gluten free and I'm happy to share recipes if you want any. Watching women's hockey is also a hobby and thankfully seasonal opposite my busy season. I'm no longer In Fandom the way I used to be, but occasionally wander into fanfics and that's about it. I used to be on tumblr until 2018ish and then tumblr deleted my account. I'm not sad about it. 

I'm also trans and non-binary (they/them or he/him) and I'm still figuring out how to navigate all that in my head and in the world. 

I work in agriculture and also have two sidejobs in ag as well and am shearing sheep now too. A friend (F, Not Online) and I bought a house together in 2022 in Upstate NY and it's a log home with acres of steep woods. 

I'm always happy to chat and meet new friends!

 Hi, I guess I should make this post. 

I'm unicornduke, I usually go by Duke online. I used to be on tumblr but I'm not anymore. I'm on pillowfort, same name.

I'm not as much into fandoms as I used to be, currently reading Check Please and enjoying it's updates. I am reading Check Please fics as well as some Yuri on Ice fics but overall, mostly lurking in fandom spaces. 

I've spent a lot more time lately focusing on my gardening/farming/if it's more than a half acre but not selling anything wtf is it/seed saving. Tying into that is providing some of my own food, cooking from scratch and hunting to get meat. I enjoy growing weird shit and I'm planning to do some plant breeding next year. 

I currently live in New York State although I travel to PA a lot to visit my parents/family and that's where my growing field is. I do live in a city area, which is currently driving me bananas because I hate it. I camp a lot in the summer up in the Adirondacks where there's no cell service and I can sit by a campfire and read and hang out with my dog.

I bake gluten free stuff a lot and love to talk about it. I'm also working on my cooking skills, which is an ongoing process. I have a decent amount of food restrictions and some things I must eat and I have texture issues. So that's a thing I'm working on. 

I crochet and spin drop spindle, and I'm forever looking at spinning wheels with longing. 

I've got a dog, a Great Pyrenees named Mara who is funny and sweet and silly.

I love women's hockey, I'll watch any streams I can find and I attend a local college's games as often as I can. 

I'm in my mid 20s, still paying off loans, although I'm getting closer and closer, which is exciting. I'm white. I'm hella ace and not sure on romantic stuff because it's all very confusing and don't really care to figure it out more. 

Uhhh I can't think of anything else right now. Subscribe, comment, it's nice to talk to people!
