@[email protected]Kia ora! I'm a #nature nut, addict of #iNaturalist NZ — Mātaki Taiao, and an #ecologist at #LincolnUniversity in #Aotearoa-#NewZealand.
I spend an inordinate amount of my time counting nature to watch what's changing (see https://wildcounts.org/).

@[email protected]I'm a developer for fun and profit. I write #scala, usually of the functional variety. I'm on the #typelevel steering committee. I care about #data and #resiliency and those two things combined. I also #sew and #knit.
This is one of my accounts! I have another account over at @spills
I'm pretty sure I don't know what I'm doing.
#Perth born and resident. #Linux #Sysadmin, SoT kayaker with a Hobie Outback, 3-wheel HPV user , #photographer, #boardgamer, #RPG player, and #SFF fan. I am a #mermaid (well mer-dude). Just an all-round geek. I am proud to live on Whadjuk #Noongar boodja.
I play #GURPS, #DnD5e, and #TravellerRPG .
I like to take photos of #birds (esp. #raptors), and other merfolk. I also shoot #pinhole and #solargraph images. I play with in-camera #cyanotype imaging.

@[email protected]Leading online #policy & #enforcement for 40 years. I left as head of Safety and Advocacy for #OkCupid after 9 years with #MatchGroup where I worked in T&S, data governance, legal compliance, DEI, realistic wellness, and ethics then became a #Whistleblower
Formerly worked in IT Security. Probably the world's first non-US-government hacker-catcher, head of commercial security for British Telecom, 2nd (and longest serving) #IRC Operator outside of Finland - And all that #MUD & #MIST stuff.
