New account, so I suppose I should do another of these #introductions posts!

I'm Fergus, an autistic science teacher living in Edinburgh. I'm also lots of other things, which I might sometimes feel like an impostor to draw attention to, but I suppose I will anyway. Depending on how you define/gatekeep each of these, I'm some kind of writer, community organiser, photographer/videographer, programmer, web developer, sculptor, giant-puppet-maker, podcaster...

I'm bi, lazily genderqueer, white and Green. Capitalism and kyriarchy are destroying our environment and our humanity, and I resent feeling the need to spend so much of my time fighting the effects of that.

I'm also @ferrous@weirder.earth but it was stressing me out that so many of my friends were on instances that are blocked wholesale over there, even though I get why they're blocked.

On Twitter I'm MxOolong (I haven't quite left yet) and my own site is oolong.co.uk - I've used variations on 'Oolong' online for about quarter of a century now, on account of my love for the tea, but I've started feeling a bit weird about it, and 'ferrous' pleases me. I do contain iron! It's true!

If you've read this far, say hi?
