Updated introduction. I've been in the Fediverse for years uncounted (>5?), and really like it here. I'm a Generation Jones mom of Xennial kids, and Grandma to some Gen Z and Alpha youngsters. I read, mostly #SciFi, #fantasy, #mystery, #historicalfiction, and #LouisLAmour westerns. Fandoms include #StarTrek (all iterations), #StarWars, #DoctorWho, #LOTR, #MCU, #DC, #Godzilla. Other interests: #archeology, #dinosaurs, #HashtagGames, #uspolitics, #art, #music (60s-90s, mostly), #games, #cats.
