Bard of aus.social @Posty@aus.social

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

@poddi @shlee doesn't matter, crop fixes it perfectly. Also found out that wombat skeletons also have pretty damn big front teeth

@poddi @shlee done - final as far as i can tell. yes, the toe numbers don't match but i don't care because clearly @poddi didn't :)

@poddi @shlee ah wait i'll make the dot lines white to match

@poddi @shlee here it is in what i think is the correct cropped format for the corner:

@poddi @shlee this features @Tarale's plane that i traced from the cover art as well because @poddi didn't draw one!

Good morning Fediverse!
I finally got around to finishing tracing of mk2 of @poddi's mascot this morning.

I like that this integrates the cuteness of a wombat with the nomenclature defining feature of a diprotodon

Ping @shlee :)

“Big City Greens” is one of the most wholesome kids series on Disney plus and I highly reccomend it. Something both kids and parents can enjoy.

Tired after a 4 year olds Birthday

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!
