Building an airplane and writing about it. #News, #Dogs, #Beer, #Cycling, #AvGeek. Ex-#Microsoft, #Hearst, #Advance. Occasional journalist, frequent nerd. Migrant from mastodon.social. I'll follow you back if you have a profile pic and a few decent posts.

I'm a #NonBinary #Queer person and an #Anarchist and I'm against violence, unless you are defending yourself from some giant asshole.

My pronouns are they/them, but I can set for a female "lei/le" if you are speaking Italian and have some difficulties whit the whole "ə" and "*" thing.
...oh and I'm Italian, btw! XD
I mean, that's where I was born and live, North East of Italy, I'm not a great fan of borders as a thing.
(And I speak Italian, of course, English isn't my first language.)

I may be slightly (solar?)punk(-ish)

I really don't like bullies and fascists and self righteous idiots with the truth in their pockets.

I like gardening, in fact I grow most of my food in the garden.
I like running, hiking, mountains stuff, but I like crochet too and quiet things.
I love winter, summer...not so much, too hot and too busy.

What else?
I'm basically a hedgehog. Cute, past all the nasty spikes.
I don't really like people. I can put up with them, mostly, but I really prefer cats.
Cats are far superior as far as company go.
But...I can be comfortable around some people. Mostly people who are not judgemental, not prone to patronizing, not going to argue with me for the sake of arguing (which, no is not fun, it is really annoying, difficult, time consuming and not useful at all).

I mostly talk about #Cats,#Gardening,#Food,#History,#Politics,#Languages,#Crochet,#Nature,#Mountains,#Technology,#Science,#Bikes,#Running,#SciFi,#Fantasy,#Folklore,#Maps ...and a bunch of other things, not necessarily in that order.

Former biochemist but escaped from the lab! Now an interdisciplinary social scientist.

Political account - on Birdsite this overtook things somewhat so I've separated it out. (So please don't take offence if I follow you on only one account! It's a judgement on content type, not quality.)

Author. Podcaster. Prior Marine. Also, a nice guy and former Republican turned independent. Dislike extremists.

I mostly post about #politics, defense news, and #Ukraine. Also some about #motivation and my re-started #faith journey.
