Jamie - Spectrum is Green<p>Here's my <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a>.</p><p>I'm Jamie. As in Magic Torch. If you grok that then we reach. I'm from Birmingham, England. As in Black Sabbath and Jasper Carrott. No, I don't have the accent.</p><p>So many sites and services are getting full of AI garbage and other poisonous junk; that isn't my bag, baby. I value positive, polite, respectful responses from my social media. Twitter and LinkedIn ain't those kind of places any more. So here I am.</p><p>And as a valued colleague said, "You need somewhere to share who you are and the great stuff you do."</p><p>At work I’m a Unified Communications engineer - I do stuff with phones and things that make &amp; receive calls. I get plenty of positive feeddback. I'm ITIL 4 foundation certified, if that's your bag.</p><p>Got a whole bunch of experience including Novell servers (CNA certified), Siemens UNIX, Windows server. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity, corporate website content management. Developing and delivering training courses. Panasonic, InDeX, Avaya and Cisco fax, VOIP and analogue Telephony, announcement and voice work, Android and Apple smart devices.</p><p>Outside work I'm a critical illness survivor and accessibility advocate. Disability is a spectrum - my disability story is one of many, all of them deserve to be heard. </p><p>Since 1995 I have been challenging the NHS over its failures and since 2008 I've been challenging public transport operators to improve accessibility for disabled people. I write to MPs and government committees when there are issues which I feel need their attention. The vile racism at Yorkshire CCC and in cricket, ableism in transport, NHS failures being three recent issues.</p><p>I'm a cricket nuffy and a darts nerd. My Wisden Almanack collection goes back over 50 years. My oldest darts set dates from 1988. I'm a classic 1960s and 70s television fantasy series fan, a retro tech lover who has been known to nerd out about joysticks, a rock and metal fan since I was 16. </p><p>Whilst the sci fi communities have fantastic LGBTQI* representation, there isn't much in the men's cricket space at professional levels. As I told the ICEC commission investigation. LGBTQI* acceptance needs to improve in all sports, including cricket and darts.</p><p>I haven't seen much in the way of LGBTQI* rock clubs and rock nights. The rock nights I was regular at were welcoming and supportive but they weren't in dedicated LGBTQI spaces.</p><p>I'm a husband just clocked up ten years of marriage to my wife and a cat daddy.</p><p>I know my yorikiri from my shitatenage. </p><p>I have been a model, a rock DJ, a sports commentator, a singer, an opening bat, an off spinner with guile and flight, a speaker on subjects I'm knowledgeable about, and a bunch of other things I've forgotten.</p><p>That's me in a nutshell. Maybe I'll put some of this on a website.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a></p>

Paul Morris<p>So here it is. After 14,610 days on this world, I've made it to the promised land.</p><p>I said to myself when I made it to 30 that my life was over, and where my life and the way the world has gone since then, I think I was right.</p><p>So now I've made it to 40, it feels even more that it's only one way it will go now, but down towards its end.</p><p>Anyway, I'm not new, so you may have come across me before already. Whether that was for good or bad.</p><p>I basically post about all the same shit as 2 1/2 years ago, because nothing has changed or improved since then, but mainly in even more derisiveness at the way we've all allowed this world to be run the way it is, into the ground.</p><p>If you come across this post, check out the bio for who am I and what I post about. But I'm that actual radical leftist (albeit a pussy) you hear now everyone not a right-winger supposedly is.</p><p>Alright, peace.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/birthday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birthday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a></p>

SF PhotographerFirst post so an <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/introduction?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> is in order. I live in San Francisco and I'm trying to get better at photography for the first time since high school so many decades ago. I'm mostly interested in landscape and architecture, and my current challenge is to take more than the postcards that everyone else takes. I do everything I can to avoid Adobe products, so I process with Capture One and Helicon Focus. I welcome all constructive criticism.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sanfrancisco?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sanfrancisco</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscapephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landscapephotography</a>
