New instance, new #introduction – hi all!

I’m a guy (he/him) in his thirties from #Ghent #Belgium
I studied #philosophy and have broad interests, mainly #history and #politics but also things like #technology #art #books #gaming #photography #scifi #solarpunk and so on

After my studies I drifted towards #Marxism and these last few years I’ve become very concerned about #ClimateChange This made me committed to #EcoSocialism

I’m a member of the local communist party  #PVDA_PTB and activist with  @xrgent #ExtinctionRebellion

I usually post in #English but occasionally in #Dutch

Feel free to follow and interact with me!

Another way to introduce myself, through my #FediCard

I also have two extremely adorable rescued #cats of whom I'll share pics now and then, mostly on #Caturday

Here's already a small taste - meet Rops (the grey one) and Alma (the calico):

I'm also active on other parts of the Fediverse, among them:
 BookWyrm: @mysteriarch@bookwyrm.social
 Lemmy: @Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net
 Pixelfed: @mysteriarch@pixelfed.social

A small add-on to my introduction about #MentalHealth

I suffer from #anxiety #dysthymia (#PersistentDepressiveDisorder #PDD #depression) and a light form of #ADHD (the inattentive type).

I take medications that were (and still are) live saving to me, and make me function like I want myself to be. It makes me more me, who I'm supposed to be; I don't feel like it takes away part of who I am.

I think about this all within the framework of #neurodiversity
