Unfollowing people who don't give #USPOLI posts a CW. As someone whose country is being threatened with annexation and currently in a trade war, this stuff needs to be a pull not a push. I will get the information but not every single time someone on this platform wants to share their anger, outrage, or the fact that they're upset.

I am driving myself crazy trying to remember a poem. It feels like maybe Lewis Carroll or similar but searches aren't coming up with anything. There is a monster talking to a little girl. The girl has something pretty and the monster says "give it me" and "I wants it". But it is definitely not Gollum. Ring any bells? #poetry

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.

Moved to a smaller server and so it's time for yet another #introduction post. I live in Toronto with my partner, @sagetyrtle and our son. I love bicycle touring. I started learning #Hindi 10 years ago for a someday bike tour and loved it so much I still study, read, write and even published a couple newspaper articles. I also really love cooking and usually the food I make is pretty spicy. Dream job: Author of bicycle travel memoirs. Real job: Vaccine Mfg quality assurance #Biketooter #toronto
