Hi new followers. I'm some guy from Ottawa who likes hockey, F&SF, podcasts, unions, TTRPGs, not living under authoritarian or fascist governments, videogames, his family, movies, having his friends feel like they can thrive as their own selves, and comic books.
Please order that list as you like.

I know I'm just grumpy about this because I am rural, but rural people have been integral to many socialist and liberation movements, including the one responsible for many pillars of social democracy in Canada today. Current centre/left parties in Canada and the US have just largely written us off.
