       #introduction thread. I've been on Mastodon (not just this account) ever since it started, but doing a new intro for the benefit of those who have just joined. So, hi, welcome to the Fediverse, I hope you enjoy your stays!I am 54, cis male, sexuality fluid with a baseline of ace/aro up to pan/who knows/who cares. I answer to Smiffy, Matthew, Matt, and a variety of non-English variants of my given name, for anyone who struggles to pronounce the th in Matthew. Pronouns he/they/hen; more concerned about getting it right for other people than myself (and would like the social default be to a neutral gender, because Fuck The Patriarchy.)English  by birth, I have lived with my partner on stolen Narungga country (rural Yorke Peninsula, South Australia) for the last 21 years, with seven Labradors and an ancient quarterhorse.Veteran technology generalist by trade, working from home, currently in the remote sensing (LoRaWAN, 4G, rather than space) industry.

       I "enjoy" a number of complex, chronic medical conditions primarily manifesting as chronic pain, chronic fatigue. (My general physician describes me as a "medical disaster," and he's only half-joking.) Don't often use the D-word but yes, disabled. Somewhere on the spectrum, and likely to take you literally. Always happy to discuss this in case my experience can help others, but I alway CW material like this, and would encourage others to do so. Much of the Grumpy in my handle comes from this, especially the pain. Immunocompromised, so just wear a damn mask, FFS.Into languages to the point of obsession, food, drink, music, technology ancient and modern, Cold War studies including technology and culture, accessibility and social inclusion.To quote my bio, racists, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes, SWERFs, TERFs, GCs, MAGAs, antivaxxers can GTFO.Hates daylight savings and April fools.My views may not be those of my employer, although we're generally closely aligned on technical issues.E&OE
