Jessica

We’re Jess (32, she/her) and Lily (26, she/they), new friends looking to do a teamup.

We’re seeking 1-2 housemates who are happy to have conversations about how we can best live together, so we can create a space where we all feel safe, supported, and valued.

What we’re seeking:
- A team player. We don’t have to be best mates, but we have to come together as a household to make shared decisions and do chores, etc.
- Someone who’s cool with the queer community
- Someone who can manage disagreements and conflict proactively and with respect. We’d rather have an awkward conversation than leave something simmering in the background causing tension.

Bonus points if you naturally get along with neurodivergent people.

Non-negotiables:
- No cats (allergies)
- No couples
- No drug use, smoking, vaping, or drunkenness at home

Timeline:
- As soon as we find the right place / people. Absolute deadline is March, but keen to get the move done.

More about us:
- Introverts, needing a lot of solo time to recharge
- We share a lovely group of mostly neurodivergent, mostly queer mates
- We enjoy the occasional board game session and would like to have friends over to play sometimes. Happy to play with you, too!

Jess: I feel really at home in nature. I love a good gaming session, craft, and Lego.

I’m an Autistic autism researcher nearing the end of my PhD. I study and work from home with only a couple meetings per week (desk in bedroom).

I have chronic fatigue, so I have a support worker help with heavier tasks like laundry & cooking. Happy to provide more info. You have a right to know who will be in your home.

Lily: Hey there, I’m Lily. I’m neurodivergent, queer, and work full time in a government role. I’m organised, tidy, and looking for a house that will be a safe, quiet, calming space to come to at the end of a long day. I have previous studies in psychology (among other subjects), and like to learn about different things when I have energy and time - physics, astronomy, art, philosophy, etc - if you have a special interest I’d love to learn about it. This will be my first time moving out of home so I would prefer to have clear expectations and a collaborative mindset in addressing disagreements directly, and appreciate people who have a similar mindset.

We're after a team player. Someone who actually WANTS to work collaboratively to build a lovely, safe, comfortable home environment for us all.

Open communication is important.

Reliability is important. We need housemates we can rely on to do the things they say they'd do.

We want to do food separately.

We have limited communal furniture / appliances. We have some funds aside to buy what's needed once we find the right person/people and know what they have to contribute.
