About Me

I've got a lot of names but you can call me Morton or Ghosts. I'm male (he/him) and I live in the United States. I'm an '03 baby so I don't remember the old web but I've still witnessed the web become more centralized, corporate, and impersonal. Between that, and the feeling that so much of the Internet is bots, AI-created, fake, or propoganda, I want to be more deliberate with my time here, and so I decided to make this site.
Irl I'm usually quiet and keep to myself, but I'm also very passionate about the things I believe in. I am awkward but friendly. I have frequently been described as stubborn, do with that what you will.
Politically I'm vegan and deeply anti-authoritarian but I don't strongly follow any particular "-ism". Also, and I don't enjoy doing stuff like this, but because some of yall suck: I don't care about label discourse, I support basically everyone. Proshippers are fucking gross.

Stuff I like

I mostly listen to rock, especially grunge, punk, new wave, and post-hardcore-ish stuff, but I also like EDM, hyperpop, and experimental electronic stuff.
I love horror, I started off as a creepypasta/SCP kid but nowadays I mostly watch horror movies. My favorite horror movie is probably John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). I like cool monsters, body horror, and weird artsy stuff.
I like pretty much any type of art, whether it's visual, music, literature, film, comics, or whatever. I like to make art myself, mostly I draw, write/worldbuild, and write poetry.
Other stuff that I like, but haven't gotten deeply into them include gardening, working out, history, political theory, sociology, tech (especially FOSS), paleontology, zoology, and language learning (Spanish).
