Hello! Hi! My name is Wolf and I have too many hobbies and interests.
I'm an avid collector of retro computers and consoles. BBC Micro, Atari, Amiga, lots and lots of Apple Macs and basically anything interesting. My holy grails are an Acorn Archimedes and a TAM.
I am a sometime amateur photographer. Completely lost my mojo during lockdown but have got back into it. I do portraits, and occasionally abstract. I put my work up on Insta and my link is in my profile.
I am a sometime amateur DJ. I have absolutely no talent. I love doing house parties or works do's. I have a cobbled together setup consisting of two SL-DZ1200s and a Traktor Kontrol Z2. I love turntablism and scratch DJs, but am completely unable to do it myself.
My current hyperfixation is KARAOKE. I love karaoke. I go multiple times a week. I try to do a new song every time I go. I'm obsessed and it makes me so happy.
I am a parent to eight fantastic children. Somehow managed to get three to adulthood. Two are trans, two are non-binary and various of them are ND, but without formal diagnoses because the child mental health system in the UK is in crisis.
I am late "diagnosed" ADHD (although I'm not officially diagnosed because the adult mental health system in the UK is ALSO in crisis). Only been a few years since the realisation hit, but I cannot emphasise how helpful it has been to know that a lot of my behaviours I could never explain actually have a neurological cause, and I'm not (only) lazy and stupid.
I'll attach a few photos of my various interests. Feel free to boost me.
