Ⓐmbrose :agender_flag:Well, my old Mastodon instance has died, so I decided to try my hand at hosting my own Akkoma instance! <br>Basically starting this account from scratch though bc I didn't decide to port everything over from my old account until it was too late. *sadness*<br><br>Sooo yeah. I'm a firm agnostic atheist as well as a hellenic polytheist (not an atheopagan, feel free to ask about the nuance), and I'm a university student currently studying game programming and development. I also love physics, almost graduated in it, but I'm a sucker for extending my graduation date -- what can I say? I'm AuDHD and agender. Anarchocommunism is where it's at; I had an awakening after about 5 years as a Soc Dem. RIP liberal past-ambrose, you had it coming. In my free time (what???)
