This is all a spectacle. Consume and take what you want from it.

I'm friendly, usually always laughing and/or smiling, and appreciate good conversation (which I would define as a mutually beneficial shared experience between two or more people choosing to talk or not talk. We could not talk for hours and still find things to not talk about).

You may get a better idea of my "self" here: joshuaduane.tumblr.com

I have no idea. Who are you kidding, chances are you don't either. Your mouth says one thing, your rampant anxiety says another.

I tend to have a more radical critique of the present day and have been spending almost all of my time as of late reading, writing, and learning about the current global capitalist shit-show we're all experiencing. The state of the Earth's climate (and the fact that no one seriously talks about it) keeps me awake most nights. How does one carry the knowledge that we are likely to reach global tipping points that will threaten nearly all biological life on this planet within the next 10-15 years? Advocating decisive dismantling of industrial infrastructure is my best guess.

I am somewhat in the process of working on various projects (writing, video production, etc.) and ideas with comrades. Won't you be my comrade?

Using sarcasm as a proxy to call you out on your bullshit, but making you laugh about it so you don't hate me too much.

Listening, to everyone and to everything.
Laughing, at everyone and at everything.

My glasses and my beard?

When all six of these things come together simultaneously, everything is right in the world.

Everything. I'm constantly analyzing the world around me. I question things people say/do, the things I say/do, politics, religions, and the universe.

I enjoy spending time in the forest, which makes me question why I'm currently living in the heart of industrial civilization. I spend a lot of time critiquing the chaos and plotting ways to disrupt the flow of things.

I'm most likely monologuing about collapse. Or somewhere crying. Probably both.

To stop the chatter and/or tears, hand me a beer. Hand me two at once and we'll be comrades 4lyfe.

Everything to me is open for discussion, so long as I can recognize that you actually care.

If you like the idea of me based on somewhat arbitrary information I chose at one particular time to share, say hello (or goodbye, or anything or nothing at all).
