Music (mostly blues & roots), gardening (weather-permitting), and everyday life with some science, politics, and public health, from a chronically exhausted, early 40s homebody nerd. Also at @AmeliaBR for web-dev nerdery, although I haven't actually been working for years. All currently rooted in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (#YEG), a settlement built at amiskwacîwâskahikan, a traditional gathering place of Cree and other indigenous peoples. 😷➕💉 > 🤧➕🤒 !
