Here at freak.garden we hope to create a multifaceted culture of growing together in our individual interests and strengths. Many fediverse instances have a very specific niche (furries, programming, witchcraft, visual arts). Our intent is to provide a space where those with multiple disparate interests or very unique interests who struggle to find comfortable spaces can freely share their thoughts, struggles, and works. Come post about roller blading, doll collecting, found object sculpture, 15th century Dutch shipbuilding, or just hang out and enjoy all the perspectives on offer here and across the fediverse. This space demands radical acceptance of the marginalized, the unusual, and yes, the freakish. We celebrate and support Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples, physically and/or developmentally Disabled people, Autistics, ADHD'ers, Deaf and Blind people,those who are mentally ill, LGBTQIA2P folks, and everyone else who has ever had their full humanity denied them through no fault of their own. You are considered valuable and whole here.
