Hi Steemit!
I heard about this community from my good friend and roommate and decided to join in on the fun. I love the idea of revolutionizing social media to be by and for the users geared towards valuable content, and not as an exploitative platform to steal data and overrun with meaningless bullshit. So here I am!
I’m a 19 year old currently studying physics and math, and as such I probably will have a bit of trouble getting up and running on here with any consistency at first (I’m very very busy). However, my tentative plan here is to write, first and foremost. I have a lot of interests and a lot to say, and I think this is a great platform to explore my ideas and have interesting and civil dialogue with folks about the things I’m interested in.
Some of my interests include:
Science and math (duh) – I'll probably post about things I'm learning/have learned and geek out from time to time!
Language and language acquisition – I’m fluent in Spanish and am currently self-teaching Japanese. I love language and the ways it impacts how we think and interact with the world, the different ways different languages achieve the same goals with different words and grammatical constructs, and the things that certain languages can do that others can’t. More on this in future blog posts, I’m sure 😊
Political issues – The political climate right now is incredibly polarized, as most people are aware. I hope to be able to talk about some of the things that are so polarizing in ways that (maybe) help bring people to an understanding, or at the very least to vent about the shit that’s pissing me off.
Spirituality and Philosophy – There’s a whole wide world of cool ideas about existence and life that I love to think and talk about. Blogging is a great way to explore this stuff and maybe come to new understandings by hearing your thoughts too!
General Writing – As a kid, I wrote all the time, and I'm hoping to get back into that at some point. So expect some kind of fictional work here as well: short stories, poetry, prose, whatever.
There's a lot more, too, but I think this intro has gotten a little too long. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to getting to know the community!
P.S. here's a little goat-dog-dragon I drew. I might post my art here from time to time as well.
