Have lots of opinions and considered politics but hard to paint large swaths of everything with dislike. Are you into fandom?: I know some fannish people but I'm not (far) down that particular rabbit hole. What does your day to day look like?: Working a mix of home and office, taking care of kids (three elementary-school-aged ones), sometimes losing at board games to them, time with partners, meetings, trainings, cycling/walking/running, I cook a fair amount and like it.

D&D on the regular (I DM) but in my closet of games on heavy rotation there is also Dominion, Carcassonne, Bärenpark and Ticket to Ride. I also play a bunch of 18xx and Wordle online. If you like to read, what do you read?: I do — currently on an Octavia Butler kick, I also enjoy Nicholas Dickner, David Graeber... I read a mix of fiction and nonfiction in English and French in a range of genres and subjects (science fiction, literary-ish, magical realism, politics, anthropology, sex and gender, history, psychology, technology...) What kind of music do you listen to?: A swath that probably maps best onto Alternative? A few favourites are Florence and the Machine, Wilco, Beauty Pill, Tanya Tagaq, Radiohead, eels, Garbage, the Weakerthans, Libby and Cal, the Postal Service, the Wet Spots.

I probably won't view your videos reliably, though. Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Friend away! I'll add you back if you look interesting. Do you have any deal-breakers?: I'll know them when I see them. Is there anything others should know before friending?: Not that I can think of!
