Despite my cynicism for Twitter refugees, I hope people find a home here. The Fediverse is better in practically every dimension.

Hello fedi! I've been around for a bit but haven't done an introduction post.

I build stuff I find fun or think will be interesting/useful for others! I have a tendency to make small projects, usually to serve niche communities, or projects philosophically aligned to my beliefs.

Sometimes shitposting, sometimes serious tech, philosophy or politics.

Not a fan of capitalism, exploring anarchist philosophy as I develop my own views.

Open to any follows, please interact if you'd like, if we interact and you're interesting I'll likely follow.

Trans rights are human rights.

Twitter has now gone into the salt mining business

It's funny. I have 5k so called "real" followers over on Twitter. And I have much less here, but I'm having so much more fun and engagement!

Southampton's original railway station, disused since the 1960s, in what became a hinterland as the redeveloped city centre crept North. It's now a very busy and expensive residential area. From a walkaround In 2010, iPhone 3G potato-cam.

Hands-down my favorite motorbike travel video. A college graduate bought a $2k dual sport in South America and took a bike and drone the length of the continent. Perfect, perfect use of a Tycho track.

I) It's not Twitter.

ii) It's never going to be Twitter.

iii) If you want Twitter, suck it up and fuck off back to Twitter.

Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

Charlie Higson is a treasure and was easily the best thing on The Fast Show.

If you actually owned this apartment you'd probably only be in it 3 days a year during which you'd realize the city is a bit of a dump, then amuse yourself making an ambience video

Clammy hands watching this. My old apartment is right next to the site. I miss beers by the water. I don't miss boat wankers taking my parking spot with their Range Rovers on a Saturday.

First ice cream of the season In glorious sunshine, marred only by most of it going on my jeans. The dog was happy.

And the scanner is down. No scan today. It makes me feel a bit less fretful.

Snow in April. Go hone spring you're drunk.

Oncology surveillance scan tomorrow. I've done this countless times and yet I still get terrible nerves beforehand. I suspect I have. fair bit to trauma from it all.
