I try to connect people, stories, and ideas. Where some people like to be the smartest in the room, I try to know what’s in the next room over, and knock down the walls.
I do tech work, and community building, and culture building, and rituals. And I try to end up wherever people are sharing ideas or telling stories.
Also interested in ancient history, anthropology, religious studies, and storytelling.

If you’re a small charity or activist group working nearby, or supporting communities near me, I want to hear about your needs: servers, outreach, websites, calendars, etc. I’m happy to give free advice, or negotiate rates for hosting.
If you’re a tech co-operative looking for members, I’m interested.
Back in my uni days, I helped out with Earth Strike – coordinating meetings between Polish chapters, and acting as a liaison between the local groups and the international teams.
Nowadays I do micro-activism; advocating for marginalized groups, building community and family, and finding the strength to live a good life despite the world we live in.
I find magic, religion, and esotericism useful alongside rationalism. As different models of the same universe, each useful when reasoning about a different complex system.
My cosmology and religion will always have a sense of humor.
And I hold that any magical, religious, or rational system that rejects empathy or diversity is fundamentally incorrect.
