Let's Reintroduce Myself To You
Dec. 17th, 2023 10:24 pm2023 Edition
With apologies to Matt Dusk.
A lot of you have been here with me a while, so you can skip this one, as it's for the newer arrivals. It's been three years since the last edition, so it's overdue.
I'm Dwight Williams. That's the name my parents gave me, and I continue to hold onto it for lack of anything better to choose to adopt.
I've been an office worker, an artist (comic books, courtroom art, and op-ed cartoons) and a writer. I am a member of the precariate, seeing as my work situation is always uncertain from month to month. Somehow, I still manage to be able to afford this Dreamwidth account for now.
You could call me "cis-het-male", "settler-descended", "white", "Euro-Canadian"...and I am not interested in restricting my friendships and other relationships to those circles. I can't afford that habit to begin with, and it's damned boring besides. To those of you, whether you're inside or outside such circles, who call me friend here and elsewhere: I thank you. You are doing me a kindness for any number of reasons of your own, and it's appreciated.
I live in a place with at least two identities: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada...and also the unceded traditional territory of the Omàmiwininiwak (or as non-Indigenous Canadians were taught, the Algonquin people). Neither of these identities are wrong to me.
I'm a fan of super-heroes, space opera, crime drama, mysteries, science fiction in general...and I read a lot of other stuff besides.
This is not all of who and what I understand myself to be. And much of it is subject to change.
Thank you for visiting and chatting on whatever basis you're comfortable with.
