After spending a few weeks lurking, it’s time for an #introduction.

I’m Christian, based in southwestern #Germany after fleeing the Brexit fallout in the #UK. A #biologist by training, I spent a long time with #neurobiology research. Today I work for two small companies in the #fluorescence #microscopy and #motioncontrol fields.

I have been #sailing #dinghies for over three decades, with a partcular passion for highperformance #skiffs (still a beginner at sailing faster than the wind blows). Over a #boatbuilding project (a #Farr37 is still work in progress) I discovered #handtool #woodworking and now dabble in furniture making.

The meltdown of the Birdsite reminded me how much I miss #usenet - maybe Mastodon will be a good replacement?

" I just don't know what we are going to do..."

Like much of the UK #press and #media, the @SkyNews@twitter.com & @BBCNews@twitter.com coverage of #migrants in #dinghies is utterly abhorrent.

Everyone involved should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

RIP actual #journalism.
