Hey there! o/

I'm into tea, reading, writing, gardening, simple and sustainable tech, low-power computing, analog technologies and similar things.

I like to participate in and help build communities of like-minded folks. I am happy to engage in good-faith discussions, but I strongly dislike exclusionary politics and people.
