Steve<p>So, new instance and new <a href="https://aus.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> time! If we share stuff, say "hello". Even if we don't, but you think we might have interesting chats, say "hi!". I've never been awesome at just listing interests. I'm into so many things, and I recognise that people are so complex anyway, that a list seems odd and restrictive. But with intent of connecting, here goes - Former <a href="https://aus.social/tags/englishliterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>englishliterature</span></a> nerd with interests in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> and on and on. Currently, I'm <a href="https://aus.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/drawing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drawing</span></a> (mostly scribbling honestly) monsters for tiny <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a> adventures I make for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>osr</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ttrpgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpgs</span></a> like <a href="https://aus.social/tags/dungeonsanddragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dungeonsanddragons</span></a>. I love <a href="https://aus.social/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardgames</span></a> and game mechanics generally. Sometimes I write <a href="https://aus.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> and even <a href="https://aus.social/tags/makingmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>makingmusic</span></a> like <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ambientmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ambientmusic</span></a>. Sometimes I <a href="https://aus.social/tags/paint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paint</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/abstractart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abstractart</span></a>. Often, I practice <a href="https://aus.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a>. Studying <a href="https://aus.social/tags/counselling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>counselling</span></a> has also led to an interest in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meditation</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/compassion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>compassion</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mindfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mindfulness</span></a>. Oh, and recently have been getting into <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>markdown</span></a>. I'll probably Toot about lots of stuff, but that's reflective of my interest in so many areas. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/joinin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>joinin</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/introductions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introductions</span></a></p>
