I have a variety of interests. I mostly talk about computers (FOSS, Linux, etc) and books (Sci-fi, fantasy, weird fiction, etc). I also talk about US politics. My IRL location is typically within an hour's train ride of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I strive to be inclusive. There is no place for hate; I will block for racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and other bigotry. My preferred pronouns are he/him.

I believe reporting about events as accurately as possible helps move the world in a positive direction.
I believe voluntary mutual aid is better than imposed mutual destruction.
Resistance to oppression is inherent to all life.
Liberation can not be imposed no matter how well intended, as that only changes whose will is imposed on others.

Dispatches from the Women's Revolution in North-East Syria: This five episode mini series brings us to north-east Syria to look at the Women’s Revolution in Rojava after the fall of the Assad regime. As the SDF and the new government in Damascus struggle to fulfill the tenets of the March 2025 preliminary agreement, women in north-east Syria provide incredible clarity about what’s at stake for the future of both the Kurdish Liberation Struggle and Syrian women more broadly.
