Hi! I’m not just a Reddit refugee, but an everything refugee. Or at least, that’s how it feels. I’ve been online since the mid-80s, and I’ve seen platform after platform be acquired and burnt down under me. I’m pretty much used to it by this point.
That doesn’t mean I like it.
I’m an old-time geek. Huge bibliophile, particularly fond of old science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, children’s books, YA, classics, and humor. Oh, add graphic novels and manga to the list. I’m also a long time tabletop RPG player and GM. My system of choice is the Avalon Hill edition of RuneQuest 3; my RQ site might be the oldest one still existing. Of course I play other systems as well. I’m into deep role-playing, and would definitely like to find people who are interested in that sort of thing!
My primary activity over on Reddit was recommending books. I have a resource of nearly a thousand book recommendations that I have created over the years. Hoping to be able to make recommendations on Lemmy, too.
What else? I’m a pretty good public speaker, and was an invited program participant (i. e. panelist) at a regional New England science fiction convention for over 25 years. I’m an atheist, but I advocate tolerance and understanding between atheists and theists (and yes, I’ve done panels on that topic too; they were great).
I was a redhead when I had hair, with a redheaded son. I’m the single divorced father of a newly-adult son. I’m currently unattached. Oh, and I’m apparently demisexual.
I live in Massachusetts, USA. I like cats, cooking, walking, and well-written TV and movies. I’ve been refining my grilling techniques for about 35 years now, on a lifelong quest to make the perfect burger.
