hi, did you hear about this end of an instance? Isn’t that awful, without notice? 😱

edit: a good reminder to download my lists of accounts I follow and the mutes and blocks, as a backup. In a case like this, at least those come in handy, even if followers sadly will be lost.

Always nice to have a new follower, but I like to have an idea of who’s in the audience if I post for “followers only” - which I do occasionally with more personal things.

My follows are open, and I get that some people are shy (I’m actually quite shy myse) but if we didn’t have any interaction yet, you don’t have any #introduction and not a single pinned post on your profile, then I’m not going to share personal info with you yet. Not to offend you, but to protect myself.

If you’re #newHere and still having a silent look around, here’s a great resource about #Mastodon that tells you everything you need to know, e. g. how to fill in your profile: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-customise-my-profile-how-do-i-upload-a-profile-banner-how-do-i-verify-my-account/

Enjoy, and do say hi 🙂

I throw stars like confetti.

Such fun. All the glittering! ✨ ⭐️✨

Like it? Have a star. I appreciate your art? Have a star. Agree with what you said? Here’s a star for you. Found this an interesting new thought? I think you should have a star, too.

There’s room for so many stars in the fediverse ☀️

I watched an earthworm in my garden one day. I stopped whatever I was about to do and really zoomed in on this amazing living being. It carefully explored its surroundings with the tip of its shiny, clean body, and I imagined it could probably feel and smell and taste at the same time, as it was touching the soil softly here and there. Texture, temperature, moisture, acidity… all went into its difficult decisions where to move next.

It was beautiful to watch, and strangely humbling.

#alttext hit list!
I had this idea to make a list of posts with really great image descriptions (in random order). I'll keep editing this post. Enjoy!

We think we are inclusive. But are we?

"...it sucks to lose out on a shared social language because you can’t see the images everyone is talking about."

“Unless I have someone sit with me and explain to me what’s going on, I definitely feel like I can’t have a conversation about it with someone,” she says. “It is exclusionary to a point, because I like jokes. I like pasta recipes. I want to know that stuff! I’m still a part of the social fabric.”
