I hate to do this but if you're not CW-ing your political posts I'm unfollowing/muting you. It's not about avoiding bad news. It's about making those posts a pull not a push. In other words, I will read them when I'm ready and able to process them - not every time someone feels upset, outraged or concerned.

This is how we maintain our energy for the bigger fight - by avoiding despair through conserving/maintaining our emotional energy. When hopelessness sets in, surrender can follow.

A while back I started getting weird spammy follows and tagged in spam posts. So for that reason I now require follow requests. If you're going to send one, have content in your profile: posts, bio, profile pic. Even then if you look like a bot based on what you post, I apologize but I likely will deny the request.

New instance, new #introduction time:

I'm Todd, I grew up in the US my family and I have lived in Toronto since 2004 when things were starting to feel a bit off there.

For work I am in vaccine/pharma quality assurance. For fun I study #Hindi (since 2012), and cycle a lot. I usually commute by bike and do a bit of touring. Hopefully some #randonneuring this year. #Biketooter

I like cooking, mostly flavourful foods like Indian, Thai and Malaysian foods.
