Still waiting for my official 'thank you.'

Hello Fediverse! This is my #introduction .
I am an educator of indeterminate age from the high, cold, beautiful #mountains of North Park in Northern #Colorado - fifth gen #ranching family on stolen #Ute and #Arapahoe land.

I am a #gay man, #bibliophile and #proletariat fighter in a dying community that has been consumed by #ultrarich for their #Western fantasies.

I post about #cats , progressive politics, #nature and western US issues like #water.

I love #gaming , #reading, #maps , #anime , and animals.

I lived in #Prague for six years, and Mexico City #cdmx for three.

It is an isolated existence up here, being who I am, and I’m hoping to find a larger #community .

A 5% tax on the world's multimillionaires could lift 2 billion people out of poverty
The richest 1% have captured twice as much wealth as the rest of the world combined since 2020, according to a new Oxfam report. The world’s richest people have gained $1.5 trillion in the past three years. In fact, Oxfam’s findings show that the ultra rich have captured half of all new wealth created in the past decade. https://qz.com/oxfam-richest-people-pay-tax-poverty-hunger-wef-davos-1849986155 #Oxfam #Wealth #economy #billionaires #UltraRich #poverty
