My opinions are 80% at odds with the consensus (and with the benefit of hindsight, turn out to be prescient), and 20% are in alignment with the consensus (and with the benefit of being able to spot the obvious, they also turn out to be correct).

Eternally hopeful because the 🔥 in me is stronger than the one around me.

Idle. Sometimes bone-idle. Trying to write fiction, intermittently. Also (still) trying to find the right chap. Easily distracted.

I'm trying to be nice. Love language = words of praise.

Extinction wave surfer, interpreter of the meaningful outside, bollard fancier and O'Rangers fan - #OOOOOOOO. Regrets? I have approximately 493.7 regrets.

A guest on Whadjuk country (Perth, Western Australia) I'm a keen collector of acronyms that describe my interests (AT, OT, AR, MR, XR, VR, AFOL, SNOT, NPU, DJ, MC and AV), #LegoBotancials, #LegoMinifigs, recycling old tech (Linux anyone?) and all things #accessibility.

When not at work I'm either volunteering sorting out not-for-profit websites or preventing eWaste at my local #RepairCafe.

Former fund manager. Lapsed neo-liberal. Terrified of the climate emergency. I tend to follow back.
