Hi. I'm Basil. I'm not great at introductions but a few labels which seem to fit include these: late thirties; queer (asexual, agender); roller derby official; British; leftist; nerdy; probably neurodivergent; music (and vinyl) fan; Quaker-adjacent; occasional video gamer; Too Online; generally just chill. (Oh, and they/them pronouns please.)

I wildly overuse parentheses, both in writing and in speech.

There's very little here right now, but feel free to drop me a mail: basil@tilde.club

Or find me elsewhere:
