Book-tooting from @pbarker@social.afront.org.
I use "read" to cover both books and audiobooks, don't hate me! I tend to read about 50% #SciFi & #Fantasy fiction and 50% non-fiction. Non-fiction interests include #Politics & #Economics (especially from #Leftist perspectives), #Evolution, #Philosophy, #Physics, #Religion.
I'm also an #EmbeddedLinux & #OpenSource software developer, #Humanist, #Leftist and quite probably #Autistic (though still on my journey of discovery).
Pronouns are he/him.
