Hello, Everyone!
Or rather, hello anyone who actually stumbles across my blog :-)
I just thought I’d introduce myself. I’m a new Dailykos user. I use the name “Xcargo” because it is a shortened version of “explosive-cargo,” which was the title of a liberal e-zine (remember those?) I did in the 1980s and 1990. Yes, I’m an antique who predates the web.
Oh, and the octopi thing in the picture? Well, I’ve recently discovered limited animation and video as a hobby. The flying octopus thing just sort of appeared in one my productions one day and I’ve been using it ever since.

Some of my stuff is very political. Two in particular may interest you. First, there’s Siege Perilous, where I try to encourage a young friend who was absolutely crushed by the election of Donald Trump, and then there’s Shih Tzu, which is a kind of meditation of the sickness in society that our new president-elect represents.
I’ll also be blogging here about various liberal and left of center topics. I know that nothing I say will be too original, but I’ll be interested in seeing your comments.
Anyway, I look forward to interacting with you all!
cheers
