There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk 🦣

#VerseThursday

Hi, it's me, back again
With an #introduction on a new instance

[plz boost so our tiny server can federate? Did I say that right?]

I do nat’l #bike, #pedestrian, & #accessibility research/policy, formerly #transportation #CompleteStreets #planning for #cities.

Here to chat #bikeTooter, #transit, #cargobikes, #Bikebus, #equity, #housing. Maybe a bit of #oyster #aquaculture talk. Love #banjo.

After 20 years living/working #BikeDC, excited to dig into #bospoli, #maspoli, #bostodon & #masstodon

Twitter is now an insecure platform, haemmorhaging security experts. It could haemmorhage your DMs, through leak or sale.
It's no hard guarantee, but your best chance to delete them is with is with #GDPR rights. I've written a blog on how:
https://michae.lv/deleting-dms-from-twitter/

Register your Mastodon handle with RePEc! Why?

1. You get listed and discoverable (including by people on different Mastodon instances) at https://ideas.repec.org/i/emastodon.html
2. A little elephant appears next to your name everywhere on IDEAS
3. You get a verified link (and thus identity) if your add your IDEAS profile to your Mastodon profile *after* the link to Mastodon has appeared on IDEAS.

Now with a simpler process, simply head to https://ideas.repec.org/cgi-bin/mastodon.cgi (and return if you change handle or instance)

So, I got to see an advance screening of GOOD NIGHT, OPPY, and then I got to see it again last night, and ... I have THOUGHTS. But first I have FEELINGS, so let's start there.

I'm under some kind of contractual obligation not to badmouth the film (they licensed some text from me, from my Mars and Me blog). If you know me at all, you know that would not stop me: if I hated it, I'd say so. But I unreservedly, wholeheartedly loved practically every frame.

i'm not deleting my shit. i want to squat my name, and deleting everything would take about as long as opting it out, but this is still a bullshit move especially after deviantart tried to spark new interest in their shambling corpse of a site by offering protection against NFTs if you pay for their subscription service

First day on Mastodon ! 🎊

So happy to be in a better safe place ♥

I'm Robynn Frauhn, illustrator and Chara-designer who loves paganism and dark art 🖤 🌙

Following previous boost's suggestion ... some of my favourite authors (leaving out contemporaries):

#JRRTolkien
#CJCherryh
#RosemarySutcliff
#GlenCook
#ArthurRansome
#EllisPeters
#PatriciaAMcKillip
#LouiseCooper

#bookstodon #reading #WritersOfMastodon

why do i care? because i'm a living, working artist. training AI shit on the works of artists long dead is fine in my book, as you're not undermining their efforts to support and fulfill themselves.

training AI on the work of living artists who still need to earn a living is unethical as fuck and absolute bullshit garbage and i want to kneecap everyone in charge of these AI projects

Some people on Mastodon might not have seen it, so I am posting some older #pixelart tiles done with my 24 colors palette suitable for #gamedev, which you can find on Lospec:
https://lospec.com/palette-list/vinik24

Now wait until people discover @pixelfed (ethical, ad-free, algorithm-free and federated Instagram alternative), and the fact that they can use Mastodon to follow people on there, all while not being under the control of Zuckerberg.

#introduction

Hi! I'm Raph. I've been in free software and open source circles for a long time. I'm passionate about fonts, 2D graphics, and Rust. At the moment, I'm trying to grow a serious open source community around xilem, a reboot of the Druid UI stack. It feels like a major adventure.

I also have a longtime interest in community, having done Advogato a while ago, and am now very active in Berkeley Friends Meeting.

Good to see so many of my friends here!

If you're getting an archive of your Twitter Data (recommended), @hbeck has a great tool to help you to also save the alt text you wrote for the images -> https://archive.alt-text.org/

An #introduction.

My name is in my username.

I translate and publish #NorwegianFolktales and legends. #NorwegianFolklore and #Folklore in general.

In my spare time, I'm a full time teacher in middle school.

I try to be easy-going, but will not tolerate any kind of bullying or harassment in my vicinity.

I stand with Ukraine, queer and transgender folk, women, and kids.

If you're not anti-fascist, you're no follower of mine.

All,

The moment has finally arrived! 🥳

@McCullohMD
@stevendavis , and I have been hard at work for the past week putting together a Mastodon instance so that we can create a backup disability and chronic illness community.

It can be found here:

disabled.social

For now, we have set up a terms of service, privacy policy, rules and best practices.

I have plans to set up a Twitter space to go through each of these with the disability community directly to add/subtract/reword things.

I guess hashtags are a thing over here? Good luck to me 😂
