I want all diabetics to keep their feet.
To that end: I’m on a team making electronic medical records software. I have been a trainer of adults, photographer, board member, ran a roller coaster…
Joy, hope and positivity for healing, optimism and togetherness. Sadness and joy can coexist 🧡
Honestly have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. It's been 46 years and that's still a mystery.
For now, I'm a writer, graphic designer, some-time filmmaker, occasional photographer, one-time small town radio news reporter, and full time sapiophile with an inordinately geeky obsession with fonts.
I live in a house with a spouse and cairn terrier (Bennie) on Treaty 6 territory and homeland of the Metis 🇨🇦 :metis:
I retired in 2018 from a compliance position at a multinational. Now I twiddle around the house between volunteering, hanging out with Bennie & reaping the rewards of having a spouse with a greenhouse & 3D printing interests.
Interests include tech, occupational health & safety and science-based health & wellness. Volunteering is the antidote to social media. I am Canadian.

🇨🇦 Amateur artist. Prefer my horror to be on the screen. 🏳️🌈 Respect my existence or expect my resistance! GenXer! Growing old & defiant! 🖕Fascism & Homophobia! Absolutely NO interest in becoming an American! Supports 🇺🇦 not new 🇺🇲! A pessimist & cynic thanks to UCP & CONServative voters! My thoughts are my own so mansplaining not needed, I will block!
Canadian by choice. International in outlook. Home in Halifax. Leftie. Foodie. Queer. Multilingual. Bike person, but a pedestrian at heart. Social scientist by trade. Household = me, Partner, two cats. Pretty bent by the anti-reality turn our world has taken since early 2022 but not (yet) broken.
I am now to be found at @elliek
Health and Wellness writer, athlete and animal lover living in British Columbia Canada. I despise misinformation and anti-science rhetoric.
Covid is not going away anytime soon. It's ruining lives. I keep in touch with the research done by epidemiologists that I've been following since the beginning. Rude posts will be blocked and reported immediately. I rant about covid deniers and fascism.

Software developer and UI designer. I post about life, UI design, software development, climate, and anything that catches my eye. Born at 323 PPM, today is 426.9. Time to wake up.
Ever since I saw the grandeur of this 1865 sewage pumping station Crossness, in London England, I've been fascinated with going back to the olden days with well made items that last, are appreciated, and have value.
In the 21st C that's a rareity, so lets savour those tangible things that give people joy, don't fit a business model, and perhaps provide a nod to sustainability.
