Folks like me coming over from birdspace are doing intro tweets. Here's mine (also my bio 'cause I'm lazy 🙂 ):

Retired lawyer. Lover of the #sciences and good data. Love #books , #music, #audio , #Linux and other OSs, all things #computer . #Gardening , #cooking , #baking (esp bread) , #tea are also interests. Think people should be treated right.

@ami_angelwings there are so many brilliant jokes that live in but a single brain, unappreciated by the larger world

#introduction Hello! Let's try this place out.

I'm a population ecologist. My research focuses on understanding patterns of variability over time & space.

I study mast-seeding patterns in trees 🌲 from individuals to continental & global scales, dynamics of seed consumers, & how climate change affects tree reproduction.

I do also some urban ecology work, because urban areas are a mosaic of different land use types. This affects habitat suitability, my lab focuses on tree cavity availability.

@Em0nM4stodon Hi there! This is actually my first time posting on the Fediverse. I'm not a twitter user, I decided to check all this out amidst the chaos after a decade on Tumblr and Mastodon is blowing my mind! Do you have any quick compares/contrasts that you or anyone reading could share about Mastodon culture vs. Tumblr culture?

We're starting to add folks to the Discord server.

If you're a #writer looking for an online #writing group to help you carve out time, offer some accountability, and give you support, drop a response below or send a DM.

Published, unpublished, never want to be published...doesn't matter!

We'll meet a few times a week. Interact as much or as a little as you want. Really just carving out a space to #write.

@chancerydaily Well, he put this up on the greater web, and I’ve seen at least one oldbie who said we all need to read it: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

I'm aware of the #bookstodon hashtag. How else are folks finding conversations here about books and #bookselling, #writing, and #publishing? What about #libraries? Suggestions (servers, groups, hashtags) welcome!

I realize that Black people are often asked to be twice as good in order to receive a normal amount of credit for the work they do, but do we really have to literally make Sen. Warnock win two elections every time he runs?

Robots often have a simplistic appearance in patent illustrations. It can be unclear whether this is how the inventor really expects them to look, or whether they just needed to draw something for the file. This patent, granted last month, is for a robot who "tramples the grass" in your lawn.
Patent no. 11470770

Don't let the "you must write every day or else you're doomed, Doomed, DOOMED" crowd get you down. Contrary to that questionable declaration, every creative needs occasional "rest" days full of long walks, long showers, and long meditations to give the subconscious time to crunch on things between the writing bouts. Rest is not for the weak; rest is for creative people who honor their bodies and their minds. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #NaNoWriMo

If you have any influence at a company or connections with high profile figures, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell them the best way for them to join the Fedi is to set up their own server.

At this point anyone with a large following joining an established instance will crush it & incur additional costs on a community funded server.

The EU, German gov, and MIT have all joined the Fedi this way.
