User:Ternarius

I am mostly active on Swedish Wikipedia, where I especially edit zoological articles. Here I have created and/or edited some bumblebee articles.

In my civilian life, I was a (now retired) IT consultant.

As Pinrut I have created Brown-banded carder bee.

As a Global Renamer I am also active on Meta. You can find me on Wikispecies too, although nowadays I am rather inactive there.

I earlier used the nick Pinrut here on English Wikipedia; you will find my contributions as Pinrut here, my contributions as Ternarius here, and my created articles so far (as Ternarius) here.

When addressed, I prefer the pronouns "they" and "their".

Quotations

Knowing cats, a lifetime of cats, what is left is sediment of sorrow quite different from that due to humans: compounded of pain for their helplessness, of guilt on behalf of us all.

Doris Lessing, Rufus the Survivor

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not
Ernest Hemingway

To love a cat is uphill work, and therefore very rewarding
Haskel Frankel (with Louis J. Camuti and Marilyn Frankel) in the foreword to All My Patients Are Under the Bed

There is no moral difference between a Stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. They both kill innocent people for political reasons.
Tony Benn
