Well, I'm back. #introduction

My surname is Stone and my chosen-name is Bear and there is a slight flaw in my character.
#genderqueer dà-anam 🧙 storyteller/beat poet making their way in the greasy underbelly of the 'net. #filk, #scifi, and thinking about #aviation are pastimes. #activism , #GroenLinks , #ClimateChange , #TransrightsAreHumanrights , stomping #antisemitism; #TikkunOlam means *everyone*.

I am Universalist with strong Old Celtic leanings, Jewish-adjacent, Baha'i-adjacent, my bestie is Christian, and my circle is generally eclectic, including at least one athiest. None of them try to *impose* their views.

I am also a former professional and current amateur journalist. Sources get cited, mistakes corrected; I invite you to do likewise.

Love wins, hate gets used for a DANCE FLOOR. Can't stop the

AND MY INTRO FITS IN ONE! Thanks, #hachyderm !! It's good to be back.
