Going to make this short, because I don't really have time but I think it's important to develop communities in these really awful times.

Hi, I'm Tielan!
I'm Australian, living in Sydney. I'm not near the fires (where 'near' means the closest one is about 40km away and not likely to reach me) and only know a few people caught up in them. I think our Prime Minister is an idiot, but the likely candidate to replace him (not the Deputy Prime Minister) is even more terrifying a prospect. ScoMo tries to put on humanity like a badly-fitting suit, but Dutton's given up even bothering with the pretence of it.
My pets are two cats and two chooks - I'm fonder of the cats than I am of the chooks, although I quite like the chooks, too. Occasionally I post pictures of them here. I have a vegetable garden (or I did; don't know if I will by the end of today since the temperature is 40C and the wind is hot and dry and basically kills everything) and about a dozen fruit trees. I'm a permaculture gardener which pretty much means "trying to use the ways that nature does things in order to make less work for us as we grown things" but it feels like it's not doing very well right now.
One of my hobbies is quilting, although I haven't been doing either as often in the last year, and I occasionally make dresses for parties or events.
I love food and cooking, but I hate cleaning up. I post recipe links and sometimes pictures of what I've cooked - mostly desserts, because they end up looking pretty spectacular.
Sometimes I post links to news articles that interest me, sometimes ones that I want to find again, sometimes ones that just want to read at some point in the future.
I'm het, female, non-white, feminist, Christian, activist, Slytherin, INTJ, Choleric, and either an Enneagram 3 or 6 depending on whether the wind is in the nor-norwest.
