Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #books, #greeklanguage, #pagan, #poetry, and #wales. Thanks for the invite, @Andrew Pam!

Previously on diasporasocial, which seems to have disappeared without warning. Before that on diasp.eu, which disappeared with plenty of warning. Maybe Glass Wings will stay around a while...!
