Hi Fediverse!
After hovering around here for a long time as a passive observer, I've decided to be more of an active participant, and try to do the #introduction thingy.
I'm #autistic, so obviously the only good way to introduce myself is by making a long list of topics I think too much about. Besides the standard Fedi topics, I'll be tooting about:
‣ The surreal experience of growing up in the #Baltics in the 90s, and why the last half a decade of geopolitical events unfolding has made my hair go gray.
‣ Deconstructing bad takes about " #EasternEurope " I keep hearing from fellow leftists in the west. About the othering that comes with just being born there, often even in #radical spaces.
‣ A long and confusing journey of understanding my fluid #gender experience, after growing up in one of the more #queer unfriendly regions of #Europe.
‣ Observations from a decade of hedonistic escapism in the #Amsterdam "underground" #techno scene. About performative politics, gatekeeping and classism in the scene, and why we need to make dance music political again.
‣ The absurdity that has been happening since #techbros took over the #psychedelics space.
Unfortunately, I don't have a cat to post pictures of. However, I have made friends with the local murder of #crows, hopefully that works!
A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
Is not every true Reformer, by the nature of him, a Priest first of all? He appeals to Heaven’s invisible justice against Earth’s visible force; knows that it, the invisible, is strong and alone strong. He is a believer in the divine truth of things; a seer, seeing through the shows of things; a worshiper, in one way or the other, of the divine truth of things; a Priest, that is. If he be not first a Priest, he will never be good for much as a Reformer.Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Lecture (1840-05-15), “The Hero as Priest,” Home House, Portman Square, London

If war isn’t radicalizing us to radical action, then nothing is going to point us toward living out our purpose on this planet.
