Hi, folks. It’s been a while since I’ve made a new friend and it’s been a long week, and it’s only Wednesday, so here we go!

I reckon I'll post a bit about me, a few things I enjoy, and if we share anything in common or you just think, “hey, I might enjoy getting to know that fella!” send me a message and we can go from there.

My life: I am poly and currently married with one additional long term partner and a young child. Open to becoming friends with anyone. I am pretty settled into a happy, comfortable life and would love to share some of it with others.

Physically -- I'm a smidge under 6' tall (but my doctor recently told me I’m 6’1.. not true but I’ll take it?) with body shape landing somewhere between lumberjackish and golden-retriever-dad bod, ginger, blue eyes, glasses required to see anything. Thick hair that I haven’t cut in too long, freckles, and I’m wearing a pretty blue shirt.

Example of things I’m INTO:

Music - creating, writing, production, performing, cutting rugs

Mindfulness: caring, becoming more aware of others, accepting my limitations, meditation, journaling, letting go

Reading: Mary Oliver, James Baldwin, Wendell Berry, Marilynne Robinson, Annie Dillard, Martin Buber -- a few favs I come back to.

Music: Joy Division, T. Rex, Funkadelic, Tribe Called Quest, New Order, Sharon Van Etten, The National, Dolly Parton, Television, VU, The Zombies, The Mountain Goats, Sly Stone, Kendrick.... I really like music and sharing/ geeking out about it with others.

Ideas: mental health, history of marginalized folks, unexplained phenomena, debt and other forms of societal coercion, late stage capitalism, body positivity, feminism, the tyranny of philanthropy, the middle path, ethics, solutions to wealth inequality...ellipses..

Activities: ^ and road trips, drawing maps, playing musical instruments, exploration, compassion, traveling ,people watching, cuddling/intimacy, petting dogs and cats, chilling out by myself for a while ; centering on people and ideas I value<

Looking for honest people who are into conversations, healthy levels of vulnerability, and maybe swapping playlists or other intentional items.

Yep. Message me a quick hello if any of this resonates.
