Western Canadian Select human. Prairie boy (he/him) with an unfortunate dislike of toxic masculinity and rugged individuality. Grim as that may sound, humour keeps me alive. Tech and/or tech adjacent. Politics matter.

Inveterate liker of toots. Toots ≠ endorsement.

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism.
