About me:I'm Ren, I was born in Coventry and have lived in Wales, the land of my fathers (well, actually my grandfather) since I was ten.
I've been married for eleven years to an American from New Jersey and we have two kids. My wife carried and birthed them both. Flower 9, and identifies as a girl.. Tabby is 5 and a cancer survivor and had a liver transplant in January 2022. She has been in remission for the past 18 months or so. She probably the healthiest of us all. I have a 22 year old nephew called Taylor, he is autistic and has dyspraxia and adhd. He was the best man at my wedding and, still is my best man. I have a 15 year old niece called Poppy who is definitely more like her mum than my sister would like! My sister is doing her nursing degree, she's a HCA at the moment.
We live just south of Aberystwyth and work for the university as the accommodation admin and database monkey.
I have diabetes type 2, mostly controlled. I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I also have depression and anxiety - the severe life long kind and have done since I was a teenager. I'm working on continuing the work my mum did to break out of the trauma of her childhood and my own.
I have always written. I write mostly fanfiction, non-fiction, fantasy and sci-fi. I used to write a lot of poetry, but not so much any more. I have a blog -
Queer Little Family - but I don't write in much anymore. I don't write much of anything anymore. Partly due to the last few years doing a number of my mental health and my creativity.
I have an online shop -
Queer Little Shop - that I started to take seriously in lock down and hope to grow more and more. I make mostly pride stuff, but branch out now and then. I draw it all, and make a great deal of it. I have a market stall at Aberystwyth Farmers Market once a month and do Pride Events around Wales. I am hoping to open a Queer Space in Aberystwyth.
I have over twenty tattoos - including the earth address from Stargate on my right calf and am working on covering my entire lower left leg.
Feel free to ask me anything.
