I have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of fish from the atlantic basin, specifically in and around the south east US and Carribean.

It freaks people out sometimes when I just start reciting fish facts whenever the rare occasion this comes up.

It's from me living partially on a boat as a child and tearing through books about fish while dreaming of being a marine biologist until the cold hard reality of for-profit education hit me in my early adulthood.

What are your weird topics and skills?

      I was in a southern baptist school through 8th grade, before the boat, and I still remember a lot of bible trivia.

      It makes my political views that much more infuriating when I see the right just straight up blaspheme and still act like they are following "the word of God"

      I'm not christian left, but I do respect those who are

        I'm like... aggressively not a christian but I read and studied the bible a lot in a real, not-"Christian" college so I know a lot of church history and 1st century roman history and Muslim/Islamic history.

        So I spend a lot of time feeling conflicted because i want to denounce people as heretics but I also don't believe in any of the woo woo magic stuff.

        But they're still filthy fucking heretics and it's a shame that the Protestants were allowed to escape to America.
