I'm a middle-aged single dad living on the Atherton Tablelands, Australia. I work in Aged Care. Hobbies include tabletop roleplaying games, casual computer gaming, short hikes, and wincing in pain. Take it as read that I believe in all the usual left-wing, egalitarian stuff, but I rarely post about any of it.

I talk about Sweden way too much for someone who isn't in any way Swedish. Sometimes I even try writing in Svensk.

Mostly possum and wildlife content, but inevitably drawn into the politics behind the current orgy of ecocide.

I love maps and comics and RPGing and once upon a time I sang rock songs in seedy pubs
This account is mostly for reviews of all the wonderful books I read, plus occasional helpful comments or snark

RFS Brigade Captain involved in Northern NSW fine music events, mostly as treasurer/web person/keeper of lists for http://byronmusicsociety.com. I sing tenor in the inexpertly Latin-named Vox Caldera* and live on a land share west of Cape Byron.

Another of the recently-self-diagnosed #actuallyautistic. It's been a long life, let me tell you!

*should be Vox Calderae imho

I'm here! Let's see what happens. I'm a full time carer for my wife, who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2017. Yeah. It's awful. Really awful.

On his deathbed, dad said his father and grandmother were Aboriginal, describing his grandparents as a combo - an at one time illegal mixed couple. Who knew? Not me. Is it true? I don't know. I post as a white man, and have benefited from the privilege that brings in Australia. I live on Darug land.
