biography.

I’m Jade Ivy. I’m a 30-something nonbinary (they/she) disabled mother to a tween who reads me to filth daily, unprompted actually. In adjectives, I’d describe myself as a Jade of all trades: writer, reader, web and graphic designer, gamer, outspoken, opinionated, and a little creepy. I love all that’s cute and weird, the melancholy and delightful. It took a long time to come to this comfortable truth.

Growing up online taught me how to overshare but never taught me how to stop. Admittedly, I’ve slowed in the years with as much and how often (thank you Twitter). I’ve always desired to build community. I’ve desired to achieve vulnerability with the hope and desire of allowing others to bear witness to the growth and empower themselves through it, no matter what that may look like for them. Thanks to the internet, I’ve discovered myself through a variety of online spaces. My coming-of-age was trapped between syntax and lines of code on dilapidated websites. Fortunately, I continued to grow in and out of the scope of the internet. I’m still becoming all that I want to be. Follow that journey to see what you can discover too.

Also, these are fun personal essays about the ever-going existential crisis of culture, online spaces falling like Rome, and deep insight into various media that I can’t get off of my mind.
