updated #intro post since i've seen a couple on my timeline and i've changed instances.

i'm Hobbs. my profile basically covers everything but i'm interested in old video games, computing, books, manga, martial arts, radio, bicycles, motorbikes, tinkering, and a bunch of other stuff.

i'm a pretty average human. i try to avoid social/political commentary. be kind to each other. 💜

i post in both English and Portuguese (BR). my posts are automatically deleted after a month.

Another giant introduction

Hi everyone! I don't know what happened to my pinned introduction, so here is a somewhat new one.

I've been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.

I'm a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it's the first time I'm having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You'll never get just one thing with me and my website.

As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I'm not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It's just that novellas are my comfort zone.

My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I'm extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don't shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.

That being said, if you don't like angsty Romances, I'm probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that's lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.

My blog/website has everything about me. It's the best way to get inside of my head. I don't use video based spaces often because I'm blind so video spaces really don't interest me.

My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.

I listen to podcasts religiously, especially fiction podcasts. Podcast audiobooks. Fiction audio dramas. All kinds of fiction podcasts.

I'm an audiobook reader.

I love reading character driven stories.

Some additional things that bring me profound joy.

Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That's how much I love them!

I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.

I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that's when I'm doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.

I'm huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.

I'm a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.

As for links, the only two links of mine you'll need are below but I also included an interview link.

Thank you to @sycamorefibers for encouraging me to try out Mastadon! A little about myself: I'm a mom of 2 boys in the California Bay Area who always wanted to be a professional artist. Discovered toner foiling as a pandemic art project. In the summer of 2021, I drew and foiled some of my friends' pets and shared to social media. It exploded and it snowballed into my first business! Here is my latest work: Capybara Zodiac Signs!

Who should I be following on #fedi lately?
(Boosts appreciated)

I'd appreciate some help finding more people to follow-- tags below give a sense of who I'm looking to follow-- is this you or anyone you think I should be following?

Despite following almost 650 people over the last few years, my timeline feels increasingly empty and stale lately, a ghost town compared to a year ago or more, and I'm looking at refreshing things a bit. A lot of people have left the platform or are (understandably) afraid to post so much, especially due to the chilling effect of rising #fascism. But I'm still here, still posting. Still writing my #radical shit. Still trying to read and engage with others.

Time for an #intro post! If you're a music fan on Mastodon (or elsewhere on the Fedi), please consider giving me a follow. I'm an independent #musician who makes weird, psychedelic electronic music with influences from industrial, dub, Musique Concrete, IDM and dance music (esp. techno and house).

https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/

I ALSO write weekly about the work of 5+ independent musicians on my site:

Após sofrermos uma perda da senha da conta da Kolektiva, estamos de volta no fediverso! Continuamos no mastodon, mas dessa vez na ayom.media.

Somos um projeto de educação popular, de Pelotas-RS, somos anarquistes e simpatizantes semeando conhecimento y luta através de uma biblioteca comunitária na esquina mais badala da Vila Castilho.

Aqui vamos postar um pouco de atividades e eventos que acontecem no horário de abertura da biblioteca, das 15 às 19 horas.

Hello! It has been a while since I posted an intro, so here goes:

My online name is Dolphin 👋
I am not important. I am not here to sell anything. I hate nazis. I am an #LGBTQIA+ / trans #ally and mom.

I will write nerdy posts that I carefully analyze and source & then post silly things.

My deep dive 🤿, serious posts are generally about 1) #business / #finance / #economics, 2) #HumanRights and 3) #privacy. I often post article screenshots.

Instância nova, hora de me apresentar! Eu gosto de batata frita, de tecnologia retrô (coisas de 8 bits, linguagens e sistemas criados nos anos 1970 e 1980, etc.) e de baralho cigano.

Por aqui eu mantenho alguns bots e serviços escritos em AWK, e coleciono efemérides, que publico na tag #NaData.

Tenho autismo, sou Administrador especialista em gestão de crises e trabalho com estratégia e gestão de projetos e de riscos, tenho 51 anos.

Não gosto que me mandem links sem dizer o que são!
