Civil liberties, geekery, politics, YA/SF books, tasty vegan food, family life, #NerdCryptic. Yes I do have a beagle, his name's Calcifer, and he'd really like to sniff you while you pat him. #nztwits
I'm a visual/audio artist. Former healthcarer, UK born Kiwi.
Likes: Evidence, music tech, dogs, kindness. Dislikes: Billionaires projecting their own psychopathy onto others. Nature IS variation. If a belief system rejects that, it is maladaptive.
I *actualise* caring so only eat products which never had a pulse.
My face pic is a non-A.I. artwork. I don't share photos of myself as I'm very aware that face pics fuel fixation in dark personality disorders ... and hey, I'm a creative guy.
Retired in the Far North of Aotearoa. Love photography
Still a reckless reckoneer reckoning reckons from Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. WARNING: Likely to offend genocide enthusiasts. I have updated my profile picture with a photo of a Palestine beaded bracelet given to me by a pair of Palestinian women I met while marching for a Free Palestine in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa.

In a previous BirdSite life I was a disillusioned AI fridge, but here I'm an altogether quieter, more helpful appliance.
IRL I'm a retired filmmaker who lives in the front line of climate change... on a New Zealand beach at sea level. Born 313.2 ppm when the air was cleaner, and we weren't force fed CO2 and microplastics.
As a cynical optimist I love the peaceful Mastodon atmosphere. People are generally nicer in these parts.
