Hi, I have avoided #introductions for the longest time. Mainly because I dislike having to sum myself up in a bio. I learnt in the other place that if you do so, it will just be used against you so I left it blank to infuriate those who would.

But this is a nicer place.

I'm a father of 1x lovely 4 year old with ADHD and autism who never stops. Husband of @Tarale who is trying to get diagnosed and help for autism, and me who doesn't see the point at my age of bothering and probably is neurodivergent... but I ain't gonna spend anymore time on it.

I enjoy spirited debate and through the years am both at once someone who can negotiate and probably doesn't know when to quit.

I care deeply about fairness, transparency and privacy - My latest project is twitter.com/OpenWelfare - coordinating freedom of information requests for the greater good.

I plan on integrating mastodon into it :)

I also have many other projects, probably too many of them.

I dabble with music, love VR gaming, old things, listening to vinyl, and want to see #mastodon flourish because I believe it is the future of the "town square" - but it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Twitter is just software. Written by a company hostile to their own users, who could ban nazi's in a snap, but don't. I'm here because most are. Let's change - On the Internet, you can be in two places at once. The least that could happen is Twitter improves. #DepreciateTwitter

It’s annoying that sometimes you get what you want, but almost never in the way you want it

i have ensured i have listened to the sex pistols at least once today (oh so very tired but still appropriate).

Should have lead with this

I used the leftover maccas schezwan sauce on my home made fried rice dinner

Felt sacrelicious

Siri finally understands what I mean when I say “play Komm, süsser Tod”

Feeling dumb lately, but it’s medical I think. Shit sucks. Good news is I’m back at work, how useful I am is another question.

Every now and then I wonder "What's happening on Paul Keatings Fax Machine"?
Today is one of those days.
