I am an amateur photographer and do mostly macro or close-up photography. I am retired with my work now being caregiver to my wife. We liked to travel, and I have many photos which need to be cleaned up before considering publishing.

Climate hawk on the pro-tech end: We need *appropriate* technology. Recently re-created this account after leaving for a while during an anxious period of unemployment.

“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.” Robespierre

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence” Bukowski

“Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.” Socrates

I'm a very tall geek.

Late Gen X. Adopted city Norwich, started out life in Dorset. Juggling twins, hearing aids, politics and climate concerns. Partial to dramatic landscapes, Wes Andersonesque architecture, unsung historical figures and Peanuts cartoons. Do we all get better at juggling or do we acknowledge some balls are just too precious to drop?

Greetings. I am just a follow bot, please don't mind me. This is an ugly workaround for GoToSocial's lack of support for relays, and my operator doesn't want their home timeline to be completely flooded...

Currently following: group accounts, admins of instances found in public relay lists and Makai + tilde.zone's list of federated instances.
