A little #introduction for anyone who is new here - I’m Dr Dan O’Brien, historian of undertakers, funerals and death in eighteenth century England. I can often be found talking about early undertakers or researching their ephemera. 
I also enjoy sharing mourning jewellery, cemetery trips and other death-related items from history such as this delightful wooden skeleton. Hopefully you will join me for more interesting adventures in death history! #MementoMori #history #jewellery #cemetery

A vintage video of #Asbestos from years ago. Shocking the hazard people were exposed to.
Sadly many developing countries still expose workers to asbestos.
Russia, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and China all still mine asbestos and export it, to the tune of 1 million tons a year.

My blog post on the legends surrounding Jubal, the Biblical founder of music: https://corymbus.co.uk/the-legends-of-jubal/

First post on things #manchesterbeer - first visit to new Sureshot brewery tap, under the arches at the back of Piccadilly- has to be the coolest taproom in #Manchester serving some of the best made beers in the U.K. 10/10 for the James Campbell team.

I have two accounts that talk about business on Twitter. What is the protocol re business on Mastodon? Not promoted accounts, just places for communication & interaction…..

On everyone’s recommendation I downloaded #Metatext on my phone and you were right, it’s great!

Really appreciating the warm welcome we received at our new home for the next few months in London. We’ll be here while I rehearse and perform my legacy project, the Broadway musical Allegiance. Hope you catch it starting on Jan if you’re here in town. https://allegiancemusical.com

Having recently discovered the music of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, I’m looking forward to seeing CHEVALIER (2023) https://youtu.be/4dSZevEPGs4

I’m starting to get into the rhythm of this place, so it’s time for an #introduction

I’m a northern transplant to London (17 years and counting). Love meeting new people with shared interests on the socials. So, if you enjoy #books #films #currentaffairs #travel #food #art #culture then let’s start sharing and enjoying.

I was looking at switching to the phpc instance, then I noticed that the admin of this instance tooted about Devin Townsend, and now I’m conflicted. I want to be part of both communities 😭

#️⃣ This video helped me add a column to Mastodon that contains various hashtags I want to follow.

THIS one change in my settings changed my screen to look more like Tweetdeck.
I can now easily follow a collection of hashtags all in one column!
Hat tip to @tonyvincent !

@MrsDi

I take tips int he form of hugs, pictures of puppers, kittums, and other cuties, as well as compliments about my magnanimous level of coolness.

@EubieDrew

I just learned of several more instances that have removed us from block lists.. Im glad to see so many instance admins are willing to listen to reason and have changed their decisions in light of the facts and evidence. From what I hear it wasnt just my emails but the efforts of so many in the community showing support for us. I really appreciate that from all of you.
