![bear waving hello](/img/hibear.gif) hoi I'm mana! I've lived for 30-something years in the USA. she/they, [sapphic](https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Sapphic) [bisexual](https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Bisexual), [gender](https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Petalkitty) [is](https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Cutecoric) [confusing](https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Genderfae).  
I'm a disabled neurodivergent NEET who has been happily married since 2011. ![korilakkuma with a heart](/img/koriheart.gif)

I'm a multilingual audodidact, and one of my goals in life is to be able to say something in every language. Languages I have some proficiency in are English (native speaker), Japanese (self-taught), and German (studied in secondary school). I have some limited vocabulary and can construct basic sentences in Spanish and Korean and can say a few words in Italian, Russian, French, Mandarin, and Brazilian Portuguese.

I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, ehlers-danlos syndrome, complex ptsd, and misophonia. Before these disabilities prevented me from working, I worked in food service for ~10 yrs.
