Hi folks. It seems an #introduction post is the way to get things started around here, so here’s mine.

I’m a 40-something #Irish person who has been living in the US for almost 20 years now.

I’m married to the greatest human I know and I’m a Dad to two young (slightly feral ) boys. They keep me very busy.

I haven’t spent much time on social media over the last 5-6 years. Partially due to #parenthood consuming my entire life but also because social media turned into a grotesque hellscape.

After a little browsing and some lurking, I liked the early web vibes eminating from the fediverse and microblogging. A little more kindness and decency. A little less craziness. Fewer nazis. What's not to love!
