Hey! I'm Aria Cheng and this is my first post on Steemit!
I'm really kind of all over the place due to my ADD - so I invite you to try to keep up with me, while I try my best to be coherent as possible! ;)
Can't I not be a Human?
What Can I say about Myself right now?
I'm an Eccentric Freethinking Ideological & Spiritual Transhumanist Artist, Designer, Community-Builder, and Futurist. Oh, I'm also 31 years old, am female, am a first-generation Canadian person of colour, have mental disabilities, as well as a couple physical disabilities as well.
I'm primarily an INTP, but can become an INFJ when in a low-energy depressive state due to comorbidities. Chaotic Good Aquarius, with Pisces rising.
(There's a ton more to me than that, but I will never be happy with what I wrote - so I will just go with that for now.)
What Shall I be Posting on Steemit?
I'm honestly not sure what sort of content I shall be posting here as I have many different passions, and not enough time nor mental health energy (aka, "the spoon theory") to do it all in manner that will enable me to remember to post it here all the time.
However, I will probably post about:
The Transhumanist Party of Canada
Founded in 2014
- Transhumanism in general;
- My version of its ideology, and how it plays into my spirituality and view of the world;
- Mental Health - particularly my mental health - and fighting stigmas;
- How I came to know of Transhumanism (or, how I've always one);
- My theories on physics, consciousness, social systems, existence;
- Futurist predictions;
- Commenting on socioeconomic issues, etc, and other scientific theories/discoveries/developments;
- Food and Cooking;
- My Art, photography, maybe even poems;
- My projects, branding ideas, photos or compilations of my creative process;
- Lots of other topics, issues, etc.
However, I do recognize that the more content I post here, the better the community/resource will become, and then the better it gets for everybody... and Steemit may just be the pioneering social media platform that will illustrate what a valued Knowledge-based platform could look like.
What Sort of Subjects am I into?

What Do I Do as a Meatbag?
In my chefwear! I love cooking!
In my daily life, I primarily make a living working as a Line Cook/Chef, but the stressful kitchen life has taken a major toll on my physical health as well as my pre-existing crappy mental health, so since the beginning of the year I've opted to take an easier job so I can finish my Fine Arts Diploma, and Associate of Arts in Social Sciences Degree this year.
I do many things in my free time, but my proudest project achievements are those where I am trying to build communities to lift people up, and into a better quality of life - being an active change-maker in the path to improve the Human Condition. In the past, that has meant building up and establishing physical safe spaces for queer folk, to most recently making efforts to start a federal Political Party. More on that later.
How Did I Discover Steemit? Am I New to the Blockchain?
Honestly, I don't remember. It was sometime back in November 2017. I never got around to doing anything with my account as I was too busy at that time.
My little side business I just started.
Despite the fact that I'm relatively late to the crypto adaptation game, I was actually aware of Bitcoins and Blockchain technology in 2009. I in fact had the opportunity to mine Bitcoins, but didn't get into it because I wasn't familiar enough with Linux, and did not have the energy to pursue that venture. I'm one of those millenials that both remembers what life was like before the Internet was accessible to people at speeds greater than 56.6kbps, but also played with computers since they were toddlers.... but more on that later, as well.
This is as much as I could have the energy to write, so...
Keep Calm, and keep the Steem Engine On!
