OK, #introduction time for new folks:
I'm a married, cisgender straight male who tries hard to be an ally to those who aren't. I live and work on the beautiful coast of California.
My degree is in history, but I work in market research, mostly by accident, and I'm interested in almost everything.
I'm a sci-fi fan and car nut, politically on the left, and I try to live by Wheaton's Law: "Don't be a dick."
I sometimes post in other languages. Don't be alarmed: yes, I'm really an American.
