hi, i'm hoot! you can also call me Roadie or Stryx, or any variety of names since we're like. plural and shit.
some of yall are coming in from my recent posts about activism and whatnot, so i figure i should introduce you to who i normally am - which, on cohost at least, is mostly just a gaming addict.
in my daily life i'm currently an involved member of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, and sit on the executive for a couple of their little wings within the party. I'll also soon be taking a role with UR Pride as a board member and executive, and hopefully in the future I'd like to claim a paid position with the organization. I'm a very outspoken disability and queer rights activist, who is currently focused on fighting the Sask Party government's intentionally-dysfunctional disability supports and their recent attacks on the rights of transgender/non-binary children while also trying to do what I can to make my community feel safer for disabled and queer people alike. don't take me for a liberal, though; i'm a very firm anarcho-communist and hope to lay the groundwork necessary - decade after decade - to hopefully create an opportunity in the future for our society to transition to a truly equal and just society. if our enemies could spend decades infiltrating and poisoning the American system to overturn roe v wade, i can infiltrate the Canadian system to make sure an injustice like the ones i've described never fucking happen for the rest of time. also, this is entirely unrelated, but fuck daylight saving time.
on cohost, i mostly post about sim racing and IRL racing. motorsports are a special interest of mine, and it tends to be The Personality Trait I have. I also do graphic design and make music as a fun thing to do on the occasion i have motivation for it. You might've heard my Antonymph punk remix. Sometimes I talk about Saskatchewan/Canadian politics, because i'm one of those nerdy policywonk types, and because Saskatchewan has some of the most interesting geopolitical histories in the country. oh, and i live here. that's also a factor.
i view myself as a rather outspoken but outgoing person, and i'm often found talking way too long about a particular subject i have an interest in. i also see myself as a bit of a 'class clown' type, tending towards making some goofy quip when it fancies me. unfortunately, my ability to make funnies on my own power are rather pathetic, so i don't shitchost much.
thanks for following!
