#Introduction that I'm never happy with:

I joined Mastodon during the Second Great Twitter Migration of 2022, if that's what we're calling it.

I'm #Autistic ♾️ with #adhd & #anxiety ("neurospicy" is a fun word), #queer (pan/demi-romantic) 40s year old from #Ottawa, #Canada.

Interests include: #scifi (including #StarTrek :startrek: & #DoctorWho), #Linux :linux:​, #history, #genealogy (trying to get by without paying for it), #politics, member of an #AppropriateTechnology non-profit building a small community in the Outaouais region of Quebec, occasionally talks in #memes & needs a job to support his #travel habit.

Prefers cats more than people. Still trying to figure out how to use my brain to make money. It'll come to me any day now...

I prefer open, clear & concise communication (no clues, hints or guesswork).

Most importantly: We are all human beings. #PleaseBeKind

Whatever you do, do not use Soapbox for your #fediverse needs.

The creator and maintainer, Alex Gleason, of Soapbox (or Rebased as it was called) is anti-trans and was previously the head of engineering of the Trump-related social network (Truth Social).

He also worked on Poast, which was a social network for neo-nazis and a direct successor to Kiwi Farms.

Steer clear of it.

Truth Social Closely Linked To Far-Right Platform Poast

'It's using the front end built directly on Poast.' Truth Social has close link to far-right platform Poast.

Hi y’all. Me and my wife are #queer and #trans with a trans dependent, and we have been fundraising since March. With your support, we escaped Ohio and have relocated to Illinois!

But we still need your help. We are really struggling with bills, and we need donations more than ever. Read our story here: https://gofund.me/a595af61

Content warning: Queer Liberation March 2023 Reveal/hide

It's always a pleasure to march without cops or corps in a demonstration of the anger and hope of LGBTQ+ folks demanding a just world.

This year I repainted my sign (acrylic on corrugated plastic) to reflect some of the issues at hand. I was happy that it got attention from photographers and this photo was generously provided by Malka Svei who can be found at https://malkisvei.com/
