A Few Hobbies and Likes


This is by no means comprehensive, but here are some of my interests. Drawing, writing, reading, movies, art shows, readings, supporting my community arts center, Little Libraries, historical costuming, gadgets, D&D 5e (I'm on both Roll20 and D&DBeyond), most music except for metal, jazz, and rap with a particular fondness for Irish folk music, crochet, fountain pens, embroidery, scifi/fantasy, video games, board games, foods of many cultures, tea, cats, opossums, and I write and publish zines. There's more, but just trying to think of it all would take a while. I don't get out a lot because I'm disabled, but I have a rich online life and have made some really good connections so far.


Greetings, everyone!


Finally, I found a place in the Fediverse to have a blog. I've been looking to replace a lot of things. I recently quit Instagram and FB and replaced them with pixelfed and BlueSky. I quit Shitter back when Muskrat first bought it. yes, you might see some profanity on occasion here. Get over it, I'm an adult. This is going to be a place to share my thoughts, opinions, and sometimes even reviews of things/places/services. I don't pull punches, and I will not be doing reviews for remuneration. I also don't put up with BS. This is my blog, if you see something you don't agree with, the Fediverse and the world is a big place, move on.

That being said, I have a lot of eclectic interests and hobbies, so there's bound to be something interesting to read here at one point or another. Also, I use alt-text on photos and I rarely if ever use emojis because I want this to be an accessible blog. If you aren't aware, the screenreaders that some visually impaired people use read emojis as a string of symbol names or gibberish, which is overwhelming and annoying AF to listen to. I don't use one, but a friend let me listen to hers. Holy crap at what she has to put up with. I'ma make it easy for people.

Nice to meet you! Say hi, especially if we share an interest! And hey, try to make the world a better place for everyone, okay? Kindness doesn't cost you anything.

It appears we have at least one hobby in common. I love electronics. I have a few Arduino and ESP-32 project kits and I love playing with robotics.

I am very new to the Fediverse though seeing you can categorize your posts I suppose blogging would not be as bad as on fb? I usually use my personal website for my blogging and then share the blogs to social media.

By the way if you are interested freehosting.com/ is the only truly free host I have found. They do not inject ads into your content either. I have paid a one time fee for a few extra addons to my account though other than the SSL (which I would recommend to everyone) you may not need one.

Good to know should I need that in the future, thank you. I don't really have a webpage and am trying to limit the new things I sign up for, ha ha. I've never really built electronics, but I'm capable of putting together a computer without help. But I do find gadgets and such fascinating. Nice to meet you!
