Pronouns: He/him

I'm a nurse living in Ann Arbor who works in Oncology, specifically in clinical trials helping patients access the newest treatments and techniques.

I am a transport-oriented (rather than recreation-oriented) bicyclist. I'm very into #bikes and #ebikes and will happily talk about either at length.

I pay a lot of attention to local politics including #a2council and tend to have a "YIMBY" housing and transportation-focused outlook.

I have two elementary aged kids.

Ann Arbor's original Makerspace! We're a volunteer-run community education space for makers & hackers!

👋 Michigander by birth, 🧳 Adventurer by nature, ❤️ of a poet, 🍀 lucky as hell.

A2 townie and lapsed film-photography dork. Answers to Vox or Ross.

Assumptions about me from being a doughy white retiree may be very, very, wrong.

Inch-deep, mile-wide geek. Contrarian, curmudgeon. Hopelessly addicted to British game shows. Opinions are my own even though they’re true.

Business Analyst at the University of Michigan

Born at 329 ppm CO2

Dog owner, fencer, burned-out former SRE looking for something different. Ham callsign KE8ZPI.

I like trash movies and I like good movies. I _really_ like strange movies.

Ada's dad. Fietster. Worried and trying.

Used to & might still: astrobiology, complex systems, agile software development, community design & development, data mining, artificial life, genetic programming (software synthesis), molecular biology (combinatorial chemistry), philosophy of science, management consulting (futurism-nobody-listens-to), open access…

Then a long disruptive break as my wife & I spent a decade taking care of sick friends & relatives.

Now, mainly: sell books on eBay; scan printed works; public domain support

I am on this server for local Ann Arbor - Detroit area and Michigan stuff. I once had professional credentials, but I'm retired now. Pro Human Rights and big fan of the US First Amendment. Interested in: #Cookbooks #Gardening #Genealogy #Mysteries #Dogs

99% lurker, my posts will be rare. Just here to anonymously enjoy and boost content from micro fiction, web comics, and the opinions of some entertaining mega-nerds. Occasionally I accidentally get informed about current events, against my better judgement.

On-and-off (but hopefully more on than off) Ann Arbor resident, just trying to make Tree Town better for everyone. I use this account mostly for local discussion (including political - mute #a2council if you're not interested) and my main (see below) for general stuff.

Tree hugging, pragmatic Marxist, pro-choice, BIPOC Lives Matter, LGBTQ rights, social justice activist from Ann Arbor, now living in Ypsilanti, MI. I'm a middle-aged, gender-fluid male, bi/pan, I have five children, I'm getting divorced, going back to college for Human Services, and consider myself a weekend artist.
