#Introduction #Introductions

I'm an autistic CIS man/cryptid living retired & reclusive on a granite, pauciflora & poa property among the thinny spaces of Ngarigo-Monero.

You don’t know me but if you do it’s possibly by my long-admin of an Airedale Terrier listserv or brief appearance on #YCAT’s autistic episode (the marine biologist was the most interesting interviewee, me the boring faux-tradie).

I like stationery, fountain pens, tending Japanese.

I enjoy photography, my camera a Fujifilm X-Pro3 (pointing towards what my photographic practice & style might be #iykyk).

I've delusions of one day being able to write.

Mentally… well, I’m often thoughtfully, occasionally thoughtlessly, deeply, hadalpelagically melancholy; my body runs on, is run down by, fear & anxiety; my inner child - an unrecognised nuisance itch for decades - is now tired of my bullshit. I've difficulty saying "anorexia nervosa".

My sentences are mostly coherent in construct, but not always in meaning. I make mistakes but sometimes my mistakes aren't (with a minor side-intent to offend the deserved). Compound words, portmanteaus, absurdonyms… these are bloodandglass to me.

I'm 52yo but emotionally between I'm 8 & 17yo - my intellectual age gets angry when people try exploit my emotions though it is itself a neglectful, exploitive hypocrite.

My name is Marc. I love you.
