I'm now taking some tentative first steps into too, just to fall in with the stereotype I suppose. I'm also reading the and I'm currently about halfway through it. I detest , the , and . I love the because it reminds me of the olde worlde internet. I try to post/boost a little bit of everything and anything, including , , , , , and , without getting too mired in , although it's not easy to avoid politics when you care about and the . I'm happy to interact with everyone/anyone irrespective of creed, colour, nationality or gender preferences. In the nicest sense of the word, I really don't give a fuck what you are. I consider myself to be a floating voter of centre/left leaning persuasion. I support the notion of managed and responsibility. I would rather discuss the common ground we share and aim to respect our differences. I try to avoid fuckwits wherever I encounter them. That'll do for now although I dare say I'll edit this over time. Thanks for reading and peace out☮️

I just hope there isn't a fateful twist in the tale though. You can have my copy when I'm finished with it👍
