Gave up on social media completely for a long while… but this one’s pretty good!
I contain multitudes- music, technology, film/TV, animals, philosophy (faithfully agnostic), podcasts, natural world and space, culture and criticism, politics and history.
All sexualities and gender ideas welcome and supported- some variations here, too.
But maybe most of all- I love human oddity.
