My updated #introduction on Mastodon.

I'm an author, mainly of science fiction and fantasy. Pagan. Dedicant of the Morrigan. Old salt. Cold War rebel -> present day anarchist. We are the resistance. Friend of crows, rescuer of dogs, adopter of donkeys. Trans ally. The pronouns I prefer are he/him. I live with ME (#pwME) and arthritis.

If I get an unlikeable vibe off you, I'll block you. No argument. No trading of insults. No warning.

My books are my activism: https://www.beatentrackpublishing.com/?ref=DavidBridger

Hello mountains.social! We are Max and Mila from southern Germany. We like to be outdoors. Last summer, we hiked the Swedish mountains north to south as one half of @4feet8paws . This summer, we'll go back to the southern part of that journey, just the two of us, and will explore the Southern King's Trail (Södra Kungsleden).

going to write a proper introduction post!

hello, my name is neo. i'm a transmasc in my 20's. generally speaking i like machines that move people, amusement rides, shooter games, and various sci fi and sci fi-adjacent media. i'm in between jobs right now, but my background spans aerospace engineering, acting, teaching, and operating amusement rides.

i occasionally draw and shoot 35mm film! (even less often, i write mediocre fanfiction.)

i'm on the fence about talking about my mental issues on new social media pages but you might find me mentioning them down the line.

i'll put my interests in the tags. (hopefully that's considered helpful here, like mastodon, and not spammy like it is on some sites.) happy to be here!

Bonjour à tous.tes,

Je suis Luminatie
Dessiner est pour moi un moyen d'exprimer mes émotions. C'est avant tout un voyage émotionnel pour me déconnecter de la réalité.
J’aime m’inspirer de la réalité pour créer des mondes imaginaires contemplatifs. Chaque trait de crayon devient une passerelle vers une dimension où l'imagination n'a pas de limites, et où les émotions trouvent une nouvelle forme de vie.

This is the account for http://www.queerthemarly.org - we're a #queer organisation looking to buy the premises of a beloved #Brighton #UK pub - historically one of Brighton's few #dyke bars, and also one of the few explicitly #trans friendly pubs in the area. At a time when #transphobia is on the rise we're hoping to make a sanctuary for queers and allies. Follow for more info, and our DMs are open (especially for any Brighton locals who want to get involved in the campaign).

Boosts appreciated!

Also my other account is a lot less #activist-y so I'd appreciate being pointed towards accounts and hashtags to follow.

So, here's my first post on a federated social media platform. What prompted such madness? Well I guess as a life long tech head with a significant leaning towards open source it was long overdue. #introduction

Also, the video I watched last night of #SarahWynnWilliams testimony to the US congress certainly prompted me to take another look at privacy respecting social media solutions...

Time for an intro post!

Welcome to the land of exclamation marks, happy emoticons and CAPSLOCK OF SQUEE

I’m flower! Any pronouns, bi/queer, Italian, closer to 40 than 30 yo

I love animals, puns and talking about my favourite ships and fandoms, that's why I chose this instance. I'm super into Kalluzeb, always a fan of BobaDin, but more faves keep coming up so this is definitely a multi fandom and multi interest blog

Sometimes I write fanfic on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/pinkflowers/works I might post some stuff tagged #flowerscribbles mostly snippets, WiPs and rambling about writing. If I write some headcanons, feel free to add to them in the comments! I love collective writing

Also, feel free to tag me or send me a direct message I promise I don't bite and I'll be delighted to chat with you!

Credits: I took picture I use for both the profile pic and header, isn't it pretty? It's a close up of a tree branch full of small pink flowers, I think it's a Prunus triloba tree but don't quote me on that

Hey everybody! A little #introduction of myself:

I'm Philipp von Neumann, a composer-performer of #computermusic . I'm very much interested in sound synthesis, algorithmic structures and experimental approaches to form.

I'm here to find a community of like-minded people that share similar values. Currently I'm switching from commercial platforms to the Fediverse to see how many people I can connect with and share my passion for contemporary electronic music.

Might be a good time for an #introduction!

I'm #autistic and #ADHD. I'm a cis male, but I go by they/them pronouns because pronouns are cool and I support the cause! And, well, manly culture kinda sucks, anyway. I'm #demisexual.

I work in tech, which is meh, but I apply those skills for #FOSS work and #cat volunteering in my free time. I have a cat, and I currently house a cat family of 3.

I enjoy #anime and #manga, and enjoy good literary analysis. Writing #MHA "fix-it" fic, currently enjoying #kagurabachi.

I enjoy games! I'm big on #PathOfExile, #LastEpoch and #Warframe. Really need to finish my #persona3 playthrough, though...

I own a #bass, but it currently collects dust as I'm dealing with stuff. I like #coffee and #beer.

The #European Association for Digital Humanities has landed on fedihum.org Give it a cheers and a follow @eadh ! #DigitalHumanities #fediverse #neuhier #introduction @admin

“If sci-fi was a planet, Inkican would be its ambassador.” Fast food for thought. Middle-grade sci-fi author seeking like-minded adventurers who love unique stories and cats. Let's read together!

Shalom! I'm Chaya, a Jewish transfem weaving my identities into a rich tapestry. I am a poetess, writing about Jewish and trans joy, resilience, and anger.

I was born in Israel, but my family relocated to Montreal when I was a child, and I've spent most of my life in the diaspora—first in Montreal, then Brooklyn, Savannah, and now back in Montreal.

I enjoy cooking, reading, writing, tabletop RPGs, learning Torah, and working with computers. I'm currently planning a small queer-friendly community where Jews like me can gather, celebrate and practice our traditions, and also study and learn together.

I care deeply about many social causes, particularly transfeminism, the fight against antisemitism, and dismantling oppressive systems. I believe in mutual aid, community solidarity, and resisting all forms of hierarchy that harm the most vulnerable.

I'm pleased to be here!

Hey, I'm Zoe, an Australian trans woman and sci fi writer. I love writing about lesbian cyborgs because of the fascinating overlap between personal identity and technology, and also I am a massive lesbian.
I'm also studying social work, and doing my best not to be burnt out by the work that we all need to do for a better world.
I am married, poly, and tired. #introduction

Yo, you can call me Muenster. I'm new here, and looking for community. I made it to my early 30s so far.

I'm a former liberal who was discontent with capitalism but didn't see an alternative to voting because I believed too hard in the USA's fucked up power structures. As of typing this, I'm only about 5 months into considering myself an anarchist in theory. So with that comes the warning that some of my opinions might be colored by that recent background; I am open to discussion and learning in an attempt to better myself.

I say anarchist in theory because I don't really believe anarchism is something you think, it's something you do. Praxis, I'm still working on figuring out and would love any tips on getting started ESPECIALLY in a rural area.

I'm kind of a doomer and prone to hopelessness. That ain't the vibe I want to maintain, and I'm trying to buck it. It's not helpful, it's not healthy, and it's not praxis. You see me being that way, slap me upside the head.

Personal interests include zines, electronics/soldering/circuit board design, new foods, new people, LGBTQIA+ rights, social justice and decolonization, music discovery, just to name a few.

Not sure what else to add other than I'm excited to get started on this type of platform. The algorithms over on bsky were just feeding me rage, so it'll be nice to curate my experience for a more healthy community interaction. Cheers!
