#ImprovisedMusic & #ExperimentalMusic
#FieldRecording
#Cats (I have two)
#TTRPG (I have too many)
#Tea
#Meditation
#Books #Poetry & #SpeculativeFiction

#Introductions

I thought I should do a bit of an intro. I'm fairly new to Mastodon but I'm not a Bsky refugee. I was never on it because it quickly seemed to generate the same annoying dynamics as Twitter, with people doing things for likes.

I'd been off social media for ages until a column by @pluralistic inspired me to check out the fediverse. I really like it so far - it seems pretty chill and doesn't hurt my brain. I'm not a techie but I'm very interested in the politics of tech so appreciate learning more about those issues here.

I haven't posted a lot myself because of having to resize images before uploading, which I can't seem to do easily! 😂 Advice would be helpful. I'm also figuring out the norms for posting.

I'm masquerading as a Common Loon for now while I figure out how I want to build a new relationship to social media.

Interested in talking about all things #Birds #Gardening and a bit of #Politics and #HigherEd here and there.

#NewHere #Introductions

Howdy, I’m Ainsley!
I’m a marine biology major at Texas A&M Galveston. I am passionate about all things biology and ecology, and I always want to learn more.
On this platform, I hope to share some of my nature photography, discuss papers I find interesting, show off my small collection of vintage science stuff, proselytize about the many benefits of iNaturalist, and most importantly, connect with other like-minded folks. I’ll probably be starting off slow as I’m a very busy bee, but I hope that after I graduate in December I’ll have a bit more time to devote to this platform. Currently, I’m enrolled in classes and working in both the chemistry prep lab and the sea life facility at my university.
Outside of my love of science and nature, I’m also an artist, furry, and cat owner.

I guess there’s a migration from Bluesky going on? Time to check out the #Introductions to see if any of my #CriminalDefense or #PublicDefender peeps made it over here

I'm the Qwyrdo, a #Nonbinary #ActuallyAutistic #Buddhist #witch with *lots* of special interests, not limited to:

* #Calligraphy
* Fantasy #cartography
* The age of sail and historic naval combat
* #Science
* #Astronomy
* #Linguistics and #conlanging
* #EarlyMusic

... and probably other important ones that aren't coming to mind at the moment.

Pronouns are they/them or ze/zer.

Oh. #Queer and #neuroatypical and #Trans.

Hello everyone! 👋

After having run a project account for a while, I thought it's high time to put a face to my research. So here I am: an English linguist with an interest in the language of fake news and spoken language (not always together, actually I prefer to take a break from fake news sometimes 😆). Will post about both, but especially about the role of language in 'implicit' deception, persuasion and manipulation - you know, things beneath the surface that make linguists giddy!

Cheers!

I’m a bit of a night owl, often found stargazing or pondering life’s big questions under the city lights. I love connecting with people, whether it’s through deep heart-to-hearts or lighthearted banter over a shared love of retro video games.
As a trans woman, I’m passionate about advocating for inclusivity and celebrating the beauty of diverse identities. My friends describe me as curious, empathetic, and always ready with a witty one-liner. #intro #introduction #introductions

By day, I’m a freelance writer & digital content creator, weaving stories & sparking conversations about identity, culture, & the human experience. My work often explores themes of self-discovery & empowerment, inspired by my own journey as a trans woman navigating the world with authenticity.
When I’m not writing, you can find me sipping coffee at a cozy café, lost in a good sci-fi novel, or dancing to eclectic playlists match my ever-evolving mood. #intro #introduction #introductions
