Heyo interwebs, I'm Ringa! I'm Pittsburgh borned and raised, and a creative of all sorts. I own two creative businesses (a handmade arts shop and an at-home bakery) two cats (Byron and Bennie) and I've been a vegetarian since 1995! I don't currently follow a strict religion, but I was Pagan for quite a while and still adhere by some of its principles. Always a writer, sometimes doing the writing. I'm a demi-pansexual who is currently in-between gender definitions, but she, her, they, you, all that's good for pronouns. I pride myself in being active in the local and virtual activism scenes, and you can often find me at a rally or protest, or arguing with someone's racist family on facebook. I'm a huge advocate for all minorities and those who don't fit into the cis white male able cookie cutter. I've been working on my own depression and anxiety issues for many years now, and I highly encourage therapy in any form for everybody!
