INTRODUCTION:
My name is Dahl. I'm a 26 year old gay transgender man who is studying information science in graduate school. I'm a black second-generation Jamaican immigrant in the United States. My fursona is, appropriately, a potcake dog!
Here are some other miscellaneous facts about me:
• I am autistic.
• I am an agnostic witch.
• I like tarot for self-reflection.
• I like gothic horror, vampires, werewolves, demons, the whole shebang. Talk to me about them.
• Splatoon 1 and 2 are my favourite video games. Talk to me about them.
• I have an interest in information freedom and web archiving.
• I love Christian, Greek, and Egyptian mythology and their associated aesthetics.
Please don't be flirty with me even if you're being innocent and friendly, but especially if you are a friend. I really don't like it. I will either ignore the comment or you will get a very hostile response from me.

I have an 🌸official🌸 alt-fursona/fursona now!
Meet Dahl, the rose dalmatian. Dahl is an archivist and amateur pianist living in the big city™. He is 100% bougie, 100% crybaby, and 100% sleepy, in that order. Despite the ease with which he navigates city living, he is quiet and shy, preferring to reach his weekly clownery quota online than face-to-face.
Hooray! @crucifix bought two new fidget cubes for me after the joystick of my old one began to stick and squeak.
hot take but Job should have blamed god. would have been justified to rue and curse, imo. just my opinion tho, imo
Marx's "Capital"
- dense academic tone is hard to parse
- no poetic structure, text is unwiedly to distribute and read
- labor practices as described are largely outdated in a modern service-based economy
- long and boring
Dolly Parton's "9 to 5"
- adopts the conventions of the working class, immediately resonates with intended audience
- simple to memorize, material can easily be spread via oral tradition
- updated grievances are relatable to the average service worker
- an absolute banger
Voting
You should do it. In all likelihood there’s a race on your ballot for mayor, city council, state legislator, county sheriff, etc. These state and local offices have a huge impact on you and your neighbors’ lives and it’s also where your vote has the most power. Do a little research and exercise that power.
And yeah, while you’re there, check the box for Biden because it takes zero effort and stands a non-zero chance of protecting folks from an ongoing authoritarian nightmare
He may look like he's up to no good, but things are always more fun with Nalon around!

This was done for Acolath (over on twitter)
Luckily, all these archives are related to my personal interests (wildlife conservation, LGBT history, and public transit!)
Y'all.
I sent out three e-mails to archivists asking for an interview for a project because I thought the chance was high I'd get no response or a no..
All of them said they'd be happy to help with my project and I don't know how to say "oops nvm" so I guess now I'm doing two extra interviews just for fun
