Writing an about page makes me anxious. I was “birdsongcreates” on Twitter. Human who works at a printshop by day and sleeps at night. I eam curious and find it easy to smile in conversation. I identify as a photographer and an artist. I struggle with time and the finding of it. I value dark skies and expansive quiet.

You can check your state’s poll closing time here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/politics/poll-closing-times. Also absentee & military ballots will be counted in the coming says. Lastly we have 4 time zones in our country, Ignore pundits offering natl party “lessons” this early. What happens in the Mid West, West, and far West states matters too.

It’s also easy to account spoof: I’m @PeteStrzok, but that doesn’t prevent someone from creating (on existing or new severs they make) @[email protected], @[email protected], etc.
