@CrimsonMuse You are a talented sorcerer from the Downspire, where scavengers pick through the detritus of the spheres.

Dear new Mastodon users, please keep in mind: This is not birdsite! Here we are nice and gentle to each other, overwhelmingly so. This is a place for us to feel comfortable, to chill and talk to each other with respect and kindness.
Let us all strive to keep it this way for everyone! 🐘❤️

My experience of mastodon: diving through a trapdoor into a poorly lit space and gradually discovering how big it is and how many other people are also sheltering in here, and how the one thing we have in common is human.

Given the intense focus on identity as divisive at the moment, this strangely anonymised space for meeting people according to their thoughts alone feels rare and hopeful.

Hey, @Gargron , I wanted you to see this quote. I think it's relevant to Mastodon. <3

Thank you again, by the way. ^_^

"It is measured not by how much wealth is generated but by how people move from outrage to creating a beloved community. This kind of work is not frantic, 24/7 activism, but designed to be sustainable over time and sustaining of each other. It grows."

-- Nick Mirzoeff, about Grace Lee Boggs' methods of activism

My #introduction:

I'm Chris, an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn. When I'm not surrounded by six-year-olds, I enjoy baking whole-grain sourdough, running, tending my rooftop garden, tinkering with my computer.

I'm also into cooperative movements and collective/communal living. I think we can make a better world by dismantling hierarchies and disarming systems of power and oppression. (What does that look like in practice? Let's chat.)

So, hello!

One reason I've pulled away from twitter is because so many of the follows on there are media-focused.

Mastodon is mostly just chill folks and while there's still a bit of spillover. Mostly it's people sharing people things.
