Learner’s Landing
Welcome! I’m Learner (or Leah, depending on when you met me).I am very social online but paradoxically don’t post on most socials, so I wanted to create this space for people to do the usual looking around and to easily reach me.I can be slow to reply (all my mail is snail mail), but let’s be friends! Add me:
About Me
Learner (they/them)
millennial bookworm
perennial bedhead
📰 🪴 🍫
I’m a primarily bedbound digital resident who delights daily in e-ink, houseplants, and (bean-to-bar) dark chocolate.I live with dysautonomia and an impressive bunch of related conditions that I enjoy learning about. (Hello to my fellows with the acronym collections!)
The view from my bed: autumn.
POTS & OI
Do you have mysterious fatigue or digestive problems? Or are you already wondering if you might have POTS or another (common!) orthostatic intolerance? Whether it's idle curiosity or deep concern, please do reach out to me for a chat.My dream is that the simple screening test, which I’ve helped friends and family perform, one day becomes part of routine physicals. I’d be glad to help you try it, too!
What is POTS? 4 minutes.

I help run an online book club on Discord for anyone who identifies in the ballpark of disability (including chronically ill, mentally ill, d/Deaf, neurodivergent, etc.). Each month we read a book by and about disabled folks, including both fiction and nonfiction.It’s a lovely place, bursting with book love and Disability solidarity. If you’re interested in joining, reach out to me for a chat!
