As an #introduction, I'm a mid-career person working (at least for the moment) in the USA for a recently more repressive organization. I enjoy #coffee, #skateboarding, #food, and #rockclimbing. Because I'm concerned about being identified (and I will be posting things that might get me fired) I will only be following accounts with at least 1000 followers. I wish I could meet you and be honest, but these are challenging times!

Campsite With A View, Would You Hang Out Here?

Description: I thought I had it good while in Yosemite National Park last month, but this group, maybe 2/5ths the way up El Capitan, had a commanding view.

Sure, hanging off a cliff

Big And Bold El Capitan

Description: Pulling back from yesterday's photo of the X under the bridge over the Merced River in Yosemite, I give you the full view of El Capita

Trying to get back into rock climbing. I can count on two hands the number of times I’ve gone climbing in the last few years. We went tonight and I’m definitely going to be sore tomorrow.

J'ai pas encore tout à fait quitté mon ex toxique méta, c'est en cours ! C'est parti pour les premiers pas ici avec mon #introduction.
Je suis illustratrice installée à #Marseille et je fais aussi de la #bandedessinée, surtout de l'#autofiction, que je publie dans des #fanzines.
Les sujets de gaucho qui m'intéressent : #feminisme #selfpublishing #silkscreenprinting #rockclimbing
comment résister aux #IA ?

Est-ce qu'il y a aussi des femmes #cordistes et des grimpeuses par ici?

Well, I am changing my name, so a
new #introduction seems apt...

I'm Raven!

#nurse
#photography is cool,
#Linux nerd
#trans, #polyamory
heckin #bi,
#vegan,
#leftist,
star stuff (hail #carlsagan )

I'm #pdx based!

Starting the process of moving away from #meta owned platforms is going to be hard, and IDK how to get other folks on here, but I love this space more than Bluesky or anything else really.

I like using #Signal for comms and stories, so I guess that part is figured out.

Other interests I have...

#sewing
#rockclimbing
#webdesign (check out my #hugo theme: https://betterwebsites.dev)
#carfree inspired by @notjustbikes
#jiujitsu
#union activism

If any of that resonates with you, feel free to reach out!

My blog is: https://ravenwinters.org

Individuals with Parkinson's Disease are embracing rock climbing as a therapeutic activity to enhance balance, mobility, strength, and cognitive function. Programs like UpENDing Parkinsons, founded by instructor Molly Cupka, offer support and community for these courageous climbers.
