Casual gamer, political and ethical philosophy geek, amateur barbershop singer and quite a few other kinds of nerd, plus faceless bureaucrat with an interest in seeing community-led policy-making done well. All opinions my own and whatnot.
Oh, I have one of those too! Don’t worry, perfectly ordinary behaviour, nothing to see there

I often think about how our biggest export to Sweden is our trash (because we’re so terrible at recycling) and how perfect an encapsulation of how awful we are it really is.

Just tell them to get internet users seeuatbasrars476, msmisFITs11 and Cohenofcandy to explain it all to them in excruciating detail, then they’ll see
