Hello, all. New to Mastodon. I'm a Canadian journalist (digital editor) and visual artist (analog and digital photography / 3D / looped animation).
I read a lot (news professionally / post-apocalyptic and noir fiction during off hours), spend probably too much time looking at screens (gadget/tv/window), and crochet the same hat over and over (donate them to new refugees).
Also addicted to parentheses, apparently.
And editing. This thing needs an edit button! #introductions
I just finished 'Strange Times, My Dear,' an anthology of contemporary Iranian writing, and the poem of the title is really sticking to me.
I recommend the book; it's 10 years old now but really an interesting read.

If you love a balloon, set it free. If it comes back to you, it probably wasn't a balloon.
If you are also a fan of stormy skies here's a 4K short film of lightning in 1,000fps slow motion. Also some lovely cloudporn. https://petapixel.com/2017/12/04/epic-4k-film-captures-beauty-lightning-1000fps/ https://octodon.social/media/SH2bjNC2ucRvqtESlXI
If you've ever pulled an old webpage out the Wayback Machine, or made use of their copious collections of old audio, music and film, drop by https://archive.org/ and give them a few $$ during their fundraising drive. Keep the history of the web alive!
Every month the Washington Post lets me gift someone a 30-day pass to their site. First one to use this link gets it: https://wapo.st/30daypass?code=TON-SCB-PPC-EXS
