Welp, so. I guess I'm here now and it's #introduction / #introductions time? I'm a #science writer, #journalist, #podcast host & video maker with a special fondness for weird/gross biology. I'm also a #DnD GM and a huge nerd for #books (especially #scifi) and #comics.

Nice to meet you, too!

I’m posting this bc I am a #journalist who covers #prisons so I post a lot about deteriorating conditions behind bars. On the bird app ppl tend to respond with the worst things they can think of to say about how prisoners deserve this. I’m curious how people will respond over here… #TwitterMigration
