About Me

My photo
Plain_Jim
He/him. Unapologetic cisgendered White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant male with too much education. Grouchy, cheap intellectual snob. I ride and wrench on bikes. I have correct opinions (if you disagree, yours are wrong). I'm trying to be a feminist, LGBTQ+ ally, other-than-racist, anticapitalist. I never use a single word when I can employ a (preferably obscure, possibly anachronistic) sesquipedalianism. I used to do another blog.
