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
@bananamangodog @Posty good to meet you, ended up leaving ED after glandular fever and ongoing fatigue, turns out I was burnt out and in desperate need of a change. Look forward to hearing more from you too.
@Posty I love the weird looking gigantic marsupial. IMO if you’re looking for ‘cute’ you don’t appreciate what marsupials have to offer
This poll is divided more than I thought. Since this was commissioned @poddi has done a new, cuter version that looks much more like a wombat, head on over to see it - I still need to trace it!
So, it's been a day since we have a new mascot. we've received some feedback on it of mixed opinions - some love it, some not so much.
The words "cave beaver" was used once 😆. It's new so let's see how we feel about it for a week
I can't post an image in polls:

I don’t doubt the sincerity here but I don’t think this is the same as statues out the front of courthouses

The Satanic Temple is the leading beacon of light in the battle for abortion access. With Roe v Wade overturned, a religious exemption will be the only available challenge to many restrictions to access.

@Posty @Tarale @asherwolf thank you so very much for the OpenWelfare project. I have been trying to find a project I can contribute my limited but enthusiastic energy to in between migraines. I am hoping to start tomorrow presuming I get some sleep tonight.
Also now reading your #introduction it is much clearer why I enjoy following you on here and the other place, I can relate a lot. I look forward to more collaboration :)
