#introduction
Hello, my name is withheld, but I am a Carpenter in Tennessee. I am a happily married, middle-aged man with kids. I am moving on, moving here from Twitter's grifters and trolls, snark and malarkey.

The labels I wear are usually "Nonconformist", "Democratic Socialist", "Practicing Atheist".

I have a layman's interest in History, Archaeology, Life Sciences, Space Sciences, Religion, Science Fiction, Tolkien, Art History, Music, Technology, Current Events, etc.

I am not interested, except as an observer, in pseudoscience, new age, old superstitions, prophecy, aliens, other quackery and flim-flammery.

I am Pro-Democracy, Pro Republic, Pro-Liberty, Pro-Federation, Pro-Separation of Church and State.

I chose Scicomm.xyz as a baloney free zone, as an intro to Fediverse, and so far it seems to be that. tyvm and "hello."

I should also mention my cynical belief that the Dems are paid to lose by the same people who pay the GOP to win.
"Republicans stab you in the front" -Ralph Nader.

End corruption in government by legislation, prosecution, and punishment.

Anti-Christian Nationalism, Anti-War, Pacifist.

Also, the first #Koibu fan in the fediverse! Afaik
