Pronouns: any are fine but they/them is best.

Call me Elwin or E. I’m an immigrant to the UK (from the USA originally), queer, disabled, & weird in many ways, in my mid-40s.

I've been in fandom since 1999. Along the way, I've loved a lot of fandoms and written nearly a million words.

Current fandoms are #Tolkien (always!), Word of Honor and #Junzhe, Heaven Official's Blessing (#TGCF), Star Wars, and whatever else happens to grab my attention. Lover of #Cdramas & #danmei.

The purpose of a system is what it does, so the purpose of ICE is to terrorize the United States.

My favourite one of these is when I convinced a scammer I was getting Gregg's gift cards, but when I got to the shop discovered you can't buy them in store (which is true!) so I got sausage rolls instead. And sent him a picture of them.

"What radicalized you?"

Nothing radicalized me.
I was born with basic empathy.
Somehow the world decided that was radical.

Luddite shouldn't be used as a insult anymore. They were right about more than most of us are willing to admit.
