I’m good at picking things up with my toes (for someone with two functioning hands). I struggled coming out of quarantine because I’d reach for things with my feet and realize I was wearing shoes. I use it to clean things up when I’m lazy. Pick it up with my toes, pass it to my hands, and put it away!

I can recognize a song I've only heard once before as familiar within a few seconds, sometimes less than a second, even just with a drum or bass. If I know the song any better than that, I can 1) name it instantly and 2) sing along with it nearly perfectly. Separately, I can also kinda generate a countermelody or harmony to a song and sing those sometimes when I'm bored. I also have perfect timing (not perfect pitch sadly) and can keep a beat until my foot falls off. I can subdivide into pretty much any number, and I've memorized the backing part of cups (not with cups, but I can clap in a way that mimics the exact noises and I have it down to the exact beats).
In short, I'm a tenor in choir.

Secondarily and much less interestingly, I'm very good with animals. I have a lot of strong intuition surrounding animal body language and animals tend to really like me, and I'm very good at dog training. Not nearly as cool as... anything I've mentioned other than it, but hey dogs are nice

I’m really good at making a good cup of tea. It took a bit to get the right milk to tea ratio in my earl grey, but now I’ve got it just right

Chai lover here, in my honest and humble opinion Earl Grey is a disgrace to tea, it’s like drinking air freshener.

I can plug in a USB drive the right way up first time around. It's totally effortless but I look at other people taking 5 tries and it seems perhaps it's a rarer skill than I imagined.

A wonderful skill that is rapidly becoming useless due to new plug shapes.

I can make a fish out of a dollar. It cheers people up when I tell them they get to keep the fish 5 I just made. It's not much but it's a simple skill that brings a simple smile. I hate seeing people upset

This is pretty normal, but I can make chocolate chip cookies. I like to bake but I'm too lazy to go to the store and find other stuff, so it's normally chocolate chip cookies for my family. Are there any recipes you guys recommend?

Both are boring but I’m really good with hair and children. So one thing is that I did most of my friend’s hair for prom/graduation and help save them some time and money.

Also children I’m just naturally good at making friends with that sounds kinda creepy but it helps because sometimes they have issues that they can’t exactly go to their parents for. So I’m basically like the cool aunt for all my adopted kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

PSA; got blocked from commenting (: not sure why as I don't have any downvoted comments but there's a chance the transphobic troll has been reporting me for being queer as hell. I might be back soon, if I'm not i'll make a new account. If you really need my advice about something, ask Bee (freakingbee) to email me Happy pride month! If you have any questions about queerness, feel free to ask me! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just me, everyone's favourite dumbass with a severe case of the accidentally launched himself into the sky with his friend's homemade trebuchet!! If you ever need mental health help, I'm here for you, even if we haven't talked before. Just reply to an old comment or post. I can also help if you're gender/sexuality questioning as I've had a lot of experience with that and know a ton of niche terms (such as genderfaun and achillean, which refer to your favourite trans idiot). Have a great day, don't forget to feed the crows!

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
