A re- #introduction
I'm a #writer and working on yet another draft of a novel. I post about things that interest me and will engage with thoughtful people.
For mental health reasons, I don't post about #politics much. The #worldonfire and I grieve over it every day, as well as show-up, contribute, protest, and vote. I respect people who know the source of their news & cull out misinformation. I read a minimum of 3 newspapers a day. (IMO we have to keep #journalism esp. #localnewspapers alive.) I'm a member of one of the groups our (USA) House Speaker would like to get rid of: #LGBTQ
I'm a #breastcancer survivor. I hate war, nukes, guns, nazis, and bullies. I love my wife, my #dog, the #cats across the street, my friends, #theatre #musicals #films some #tv #nonviolence #qigong and #taichi #greenchile and #NewMexico .
Books: I'll read most anything. Esp. #mysteries #scifi #poetry #haiku #history
Since the early 80s, I've been online. The online world used to be a great way to share and find information. Over the years, I've met other creative and amazing online folks in person, from all over the world. But the online world is pretty corrupt anymore, and I'm unsure why I'm still here. Except, maybe hoping, there are folks who still engage as humans without promotion or agenda. Because of my ambivalence, sometimes there will be long bouts of silence aka no posts. Call it an old-life-crisis.
I like #universedon a lot. At one point I left, and tried on a couple of other servers. I got porned and spammed and came back "home." I'm nerdy and old-Trekkie enough that I found this place because @georgetakei came here last year. I truly love the concept of the #Fediverse and can't believe it took me so long to come here.
