Dutch Barracuda🏳️‍🌈🛠☢️🌎♻️Jul 2, 2023

#introduction (fresh)
My name is Dutch Barracuda (everywhere), he/him, and I live in a seaside town in Essex, England.

I'm a Maker and 3D printer.
I repair things, salvage other things, and recycle as much as I can.
Practical #Solarpunk has been a major interest for the past year or two, and love #HardScienceFiction
Spend most of my days in a garden and shed, overcoming my burnout from work and people.

Definitely queer, predominantly pansexual, very polyamorous, and occasionally kinky.

Hi!

@dutchbarracuda Hi! Welcome (back?). #HardScienceFiction, like... #TheExpanse?

Have fun around here!

@zeolith Oh I never left, I thought it was time for a fresh Introduction and to pin it for once.

Also, yes, very much like The Expanse, #TheMartian or #Silo or #Arrival or #Contact or #AdAstra .
Anything that feels like it's realistically achievable within 50'ish years without MacGuffins.

@dutchbarracuda Oh. Forgot to pin mine. May I suggest #TheSunEater saga? If only because it takes humans dozens of years to travel between stars even at superluminic speeds? Also because of the brightest way to balance power between the emperor and nobility in a galactic empire since Dune, IMHO?

@zeolith I'll add it to me to read pile. Working my way through some Solarpunk anthologies currently.

@dutchbarracuda TBF I thoughts it's not finished yet. Thought I'd never start an unfinished fantasy/sci-fi series again after #asoiaf but... Yeah. Got really hooked on that one.
