Hello sunny.garden!
Hello #fediverse

My name is Carlotta, I'm 24 and I'm from Italy.

I graduated last year in Science of Climate, a #physics master's degree in Bologna, and now I work as a Data Engineer for a company focused on climate change impacts.

I've been playing the #guitar for many years and I have a band - we are called Embers Lit - where I mainly play #70sRock music.
My favourite band is #LedZeppelin , but I have recently discovered #JeffBuckley (better late than never, right?) and #Opeth and I fell in love.

I also love #gardening - this summer I will try to grow my own vegetables (fingers crossed) - and I adore cooking. I've been #vegan for a couple of years and I have found a great passion for #cooking.

This pretty much sums up who I am and what I'll be posting about! I'm super new to Mastodon and I'm still trying to figure things out, but I'm really excited to be part of this community!

I posted something for #tunetuesday early this morning. I think enough time has passed for me to post another one, though it feels like that's against the rules.

It's not a surprise. It's Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah.

For me, there is no other version. It's the crushing anthem of two marriages, both of which I was completely committed to, both of which I was ready to die for and live for. Both of them ended badly, in different ways. Both of them were wrapped up in Judeo-Christian religion, especially because I was religious throughout the first one and for most of the second.

This is on some playlists, but I can't take it, most days. It pulls ugly, painful sobs out of me. It wrecks me.

This is my Sharkey #introduction

You can call me Dane.

I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.

I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.

Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM

I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.

I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.

And now, a hefty list of hashtags....
