Today's #ZeroProof adventure is a Sith Temple:

- Pentire Seaward
- Grenadine

Yes, I named it myself

Why millennials and Gen Z are helping lead the zero-proof drink surge
"I think that younger people see alcohol as a way to make anxiety worse, to make mental health issues worse" - Lee-Anne Richardson, Sober City founder

"They want to be able to go out and meet their friends. They want to be able to go out for dinner, but they don't want to wake up the next day and feel lousy" - - Mitch Cobb, CEO, Upstreet Craft Brewing

OK, so here is my #introduction !

I live in the most isolated capital city in the world, #Perth , and therefore on Whadjuk #noongar boodja. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the land, and their Elders - past, present, and emerging.

I am male (he/him), and married to the amazing artist @leece .

I have been a #Linux #Sysadmin for most of my professional life, and use Linux or derivatives exclusively at home.

For fun, I play #rpg games, and #boardgame . I also swim as a #mermaid (well, mer-dude), and ride a three-wheeled human-powered vehicle called a Me-Mover. I have a Hobie Outback pedal-powered kayak, which takes me back to my past as a Sea Scout on the Swan. I enjoy playing with #lego, #cooking, #preserving, and many, many other things.

I am #teetotal (and have been all my life) but love making mixed drinks, and have an extensive #zeroproof bar.

I am an amateur #photographer without any particular speciality, but I do particularly like taking shots of #birds (especially #raptors ), and other mer-folk. I also enjoy shooting #pinhole B&W, and play with in-camera #cyanotype (about which I have written extensively on my blog) . To round things out, I take quite a few #solargraph images.

For the past few years, I have been learning Nyoongar (primarily the Marribank Orthography).

Here is a shot of me taken by the amazing @leece on #Wadjemap .

Tonight’s #alcoholfree #zeroproof cocktail: the Lyre’s Rosa Negroni, which I chose by poking around the Lyre’s recipes until I found something I had the ingredients for. (Well, almost. Lacking the fresh raspberries, I finally found a use for the Meadowsweet raspberry-and-rose simple syrup that’s been collecting dust in my kitchen for a while.)

Love the art on this can. And this is a pretty tasty beer. Not so hoppy it just ruins everything. A bit watery though.

#ZeroProof

ok, this is a very cool use of what seems a type of #blockchain or other #crypto using #zeroproof
