Enjoying connecting with people here. I've been on Mastodon since late 2022 & find it much more to my liking than those other places. Lifelong (so far) Northeastern USian with New England & New York roots. Interests varied, expert at none: #history, #science, #art, #archaeology, #farming, #linguistics, #justice work, and #religion. (Lately mostly USpol.) I'm a retired copyeditor but not a peever. I'm a #quilter & #darner, #birder, #pluviophile, night-sky watcher, cloud admirer.
