Hello Fedi! I'm finally writing my #Introduction post after being a lurker for years (2022 is when I made my first account). I've never really been active on any social media, but Mastodon is unique and I'd like to experience the sense of community that it offers.

A bit about me! I live in a fairly small town in #Saskatchewan on Treaty 4 land. I enjoy #gardening, #walking, and playing #guitar. I am collecting and digitizing CDs which I enjoy through a modest, self hosted Jellyfin server. I gave #Linux a shot several years ago and have since been in love with the principles of #opensource and #FOSS. Recently I've been working to improve #OpenStreetMap in my area to make it a more viable option for others in my community.

I'm a proud democratic socialist, and I believe in the project of universal liberation. I support the rights of #workers, the #LGBTQIA community, and #immigrants. I oppose #fascism and believe that we once again find ourselves at the crossroads of #socialism and barbarism. Despite how grim everything looks now, I see enough good in the world to remain optimistic for the future. This is one place in particular that brings me hope. Y'all are cool here 👍
