Personal laptop sticker update. “You Are Beautiful“ I got from a friend at Norwescon; “Trekkies Against Fascism” I ordered along with a matching t-shirt from here: https://willburrowsart.com / https://bsky.app/profile/reforest-kelley.bsky.social

From a goth/industrial performance night several years ago that I had the chance to shoot. I don't do the giant watermark thing these days, but since I'm just pulling these off of Flickr, it is what it is.

The Vogue was a long-running goth club in Seattle. This was its second (I think) incarnation, but was the one I started going to when I moved to Seattle in 2001. For my first few years in Seattle I lived just blocks away, and was there two to three times a week. It closed years ago, but I miss it.

Out at the Mercury last night for Caturday with a couple friends. Was good to get some gothclubbing time in again!

Got to #CapitolHill about an hour ago, had a nice walk up Broadway and back people watching on a gorgeous summer evening, and am now settling in for #Caturday. Walked in to #Orbital’s “Halcyon and On”; off to a good start! #Seattle #SeaGoth #TheMercury

I’m primarily active on my Mastodon account, but I’ve been curious about Calckey, so plan to use this account to get a better feel for it.

Here’s my #introduction / #introductions post:

Hi! I’m Michael, but can frequently be found online as “djwudi”.

Grew up in #Alaska, now exist just south of #Seattle most of the time.

Currently work in #HigherEducation #accessibility as the #AccessibleTechnology Program Manager at Highline College.

I’m a #ScienceFiction / #SciFi fan. #StarTrek is my home fandom, and I volunteer for @[email protected], a local regional fan-run con.

I read a lot of SF #books. Trek novels are my go-to “comfort food”. I’m slowly working my way through all the #HugoAward Best Novel winners, and every year read all of the nominees for the #PhilipKDickAward before the annual award ceremony at Norwescon.

Speaking of the #PhilipKDickAwards and #Norwescon, starting this year, I am the PKD Award liaison for Norwescon. This means I’ll be overseeing the award ceremony and working with nominated authors and their agents as we invite them to attend the ceremony.

I’m one of the many Seattleites who “used to be a #DJ”. For me, it was about a decade in #Anchorage in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s, primarily at The Lost Abbey and Gig’s Music Theatre. Focused on alternative genres: goth/industrial/synth pop/ebm/techno/etc.

Though recently on the pandemic-induced fringes, I try to be part of the #SeaGoth (Seattle #goth / #gothic) community whenever possible. Used to hang out at The Vogue (on 12th), and am currently looking forward to getting back to the Mercury…eventually.

#Apple #macOS / #iOS user by choice, Windows user if paid.

Oh, and: 50, white, cis, male, statistically straight, healthy, white-collar employed, not rich but comfortably not poor, married, homeowner, neurotypical (as far as I know). In other words, living with a lot of #privilege that I try to be aware of and use for good.
