As I'm a year older today, here's a shiny new #introduction toot!
I'm Wolfie, a 36 year old white British human from the south of England. I'm #ace #aro and #agender (AAA!!)
I have been around Mastodon since before the button said toot (Nov 2016) and now have far too many alts and specialised accounts (see profile for list!)
My posts are likely to be #queer, #british, and sometimes grumpy (about #lighttheme)
I have unusual pets, a #snake and #snails!
[cw: snake, snail and eye contact]
I've done the Tumblr accent challenge, found here http://heckyeahtumblrchallenges.tumblr.com/post/6730485453/tumblr-accent-challenge-your-name-and so you can listen to my voice

Need to sneak out of the CW to say just how impressive Amanda Gorman is. Definitely worth checking out.

A conversation on my timeline about the way USians and Brits use the same words for different foods, reminds me of two of my favourite youtube channels:
Lost in the Pond, for a British perspective on US vs UK culture
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLarUj05yXsn_NV6U-8aXAS4OC6XFG4xtk
and
Wandering Ravens, for a USian perspective on US vs UK culture
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYfFmiXtg71Oi426c3yLd6WR45FxP2qR5
Both channels are great fun, and well worth watching if you enjoy discussing/exploring the similar but quite different cultures of the UK and US!

gamer drama
Watching the latest Jimquisition and while I'm not surprised gamers are upset at there being a female player character in GTA6, I am confused at the "first female protag in GTA" framing, noone else played the original with 4 men and 4 women, who were all different races as well? https://www.grandtheftwiki.com/Protagonists_in_GTA_1
slavery, kidnapping conditions
okay here we go. so historically, dreadlocks are a hairstyle that directly comes from slavery. when my people were taken from our native lands and forced on the ships, they were crammed so tightly, they would often get drenched in each others bodily fluids. that, plus time, and general lack of access to hygiene, matted the hair of the enslaved people and created this "style"
amazing, a channel I follow just did a visualisation of #Celeste speedruns! Great use of the music too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_0ACLhtgnU
after uninstalling office 2007 and rebooting, current office still wouldn't load properly, so had to uninstall and reinstall it and reboot a few more times and now the crisis is averted
