Wondering about my username? In a story by Kipling, Kolokoko Bird advised Elephant’s Child to go find out for himself. I like that sentiment. I am always trying to find stuff out.

Lancastrian in Leeds. I code, design, write, shoot photos and video, watch ball sports and listen to music.

I was Supporters Direct Community Champion in 2016. They gave me a big crystal shard thing with my name on it. My wife won't let me keep it on the mantelpiece.

I'm an anti-capitalist, a feminist, a wife, & a mother. I love music, books, the VW GTI, and mechanical keyboards. #Cats #CatsofMastodon #HeavyMetal #Birds #Birding #TTRPG #Hyperborea #Books #MagicTheGathering #MTG #TransRightsAreHumanRights #BLM #socialism #union #labor Hashtag a whole bunch of shit - we contain multitudes. @Perigrin is my nemesis.

Science must be opened — because science opens everything else! Sapere aude!

Boosts are most welcome 👍

Scotsman, European, Humanist. Retired from Education. Walker and culture lover. Opera and Rugby feature . I live on the Isle of Skye. Many enthusiasms

I live in Portland, OR, with my Beloved Englishman. Mother of @zinn, grandma of Lulu and Freyja. I narrate audiobooks for LibriVox (visit my blog to find links), knit a lot, and sew. I like UK culture, history, linguistics, reading, BBC, The Archers, documentaries, funny stuff, music of many kinds.

Depression and anxiety under control, mostly.

I like cozy video games, thrillers, “chick lit” (ugh hate that term), and classic movies

I run https://bitfolk.com/ and do dog sitting (https://dogsitter.services/), so you should expect too many photos and videos of greyhounds with a bit of tedious computer blah as well.
I don't really know what I'm doing or if I'll stick with this, sorry. Although the status as of 2022-11-28 is Quite Enjoying It Here.
