evilchili<p>re: <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> </p><p>You see before you a middle-aged white male standing over six feet. He has a scraggly chin beard trimmed on the jaw line, wavy brown hair pulled back into a pony tail, and hazel eyes behind frankly ridiculous black, wide-rimmed eyeglasses. He's dressed like a twelve year-old in baggy jeans, hoodie, Beths t-shirt, and a KEXP beanie. A laptop bag is on his shoulder and overpriced headphones are around his neck. He's trying to look nonchalant as you approach but you can't shake the feeling he'd rather be listening to <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> than engaging face to face.</p><p>"I help admin linernotes.club, the premiere fediverse destination for music lovers who nod knowingly at each other from across the room when that song comes on but probably won't ever introduce themselves," he says, unprompted. That was weird. Then: "Oh, that was weird. Sorry. Uh, say, have you heard the new Sloan record? I've got it right here..." </p><p>So hey, I'm evilchili. I am cis/het and use he/him pronouns. I mostly toot about music, because it brings me joy, and I believe joy is an act of resistance. When I go looking for new music I post about it on <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/CrateDigging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrateDigging</span></a>. When I listen to it, I post <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/TastingNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TastingNotes</span></a>. Sometimes I do long threads about an artist's discography, like <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/TMBGTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TMBGTime</span></a>. I'm not here for politics, shitposting, or irony. If you toot or boost that stuff that's cool but I won't be following. Nazi punks fuck off. AI, crypto, techbro punks too. Usually all the same punk.</p><p>I run a <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/dnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dnd</span></a> homebrew game called <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/deadsands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deadsands</span></a>. I do post occasionally about that. I make <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/resin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resin</span></a> <a href="https://linernotes.club/tags/dice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dice</span></a> and toot about it on <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.art/@dicefail" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dicefail</span></a></span>. I've been working in tech for over 30 years and getting ready to start my second act. I'm married, have twin boys, and an old, blind, stupid, sweet Greyhound named Rufus (after mssr. Wainwright). Ask me anything!</p>
