New intro post: I'm Joy, I moved to this instance a few days ago. I'm 43, from the UK but living in France, and a technical translator/writer.
I dislike most things. However, I am enjoying learning Android development, Kotlin and C#, I like pop music (inc. goth, industrial, new wave, italodisco etc.), renaissance music and supernatural fiction.
The St. Valentines Day Massacre of 1929 was a horrific event I learned about in school as a kid.
It’s quaint when you think about it today: seven gangsters were gunned down then but in 2023 every week there’s been a mass shooting with similar losses, so many I can’t even track of all the cities where they happen.
