Fluent in science, animals, paranormal culture. Expert in weird news. Doubtful.
FYI: Mastodon vs mammoth. The more you know... https://octodon.social/media/uzQ-qgc2D4SonrRwxh0
Also on mastodon.xyz. Trying to decide which is better local. Probably doesn't matter.
Copy from @juliansimpson Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
My list:

#ghosts
#monsters

When you want chocolate but all you have is tic tacs. :tired_face:
At some point, won't the federated timeline just be a blur?
@Idoubtit I understand. Anytime we place our thoughts into a public forum, we're exposing ourselves to an unknown array of experiences and points of view.
It's unfortunate when an immediate response is negative when it could be informative, but sometimes the wounds people have are so serious that is going to be their first response.
I hope no one has to be a target. Maybe one day.
Still have this nagging fear that at any moment someone is going to publicly berate me over one of my toots that they have entirely misunderstood and brand me a disinformation agent/hater/victim blamer/gender traitor/ etc. Seems inevitable that such things will happen on social media.
Shoutout to everybody in the local #octodon squad!
I have an internal conflict. I'm not much of a joiner so this whole federation idea and emphasis on tribes is freaking me out a bit.
I want someone, not me, to make an instance called "pteranodon" for science and monster stuff. #mastodon
Aeropress at my desk instead of office coffee club. Admitting snobbery. Though I do make a mess.
A reporter wants to interview me about UFO hunters tomorrow. OK, then. #sciencey
Testing again. I had the URL wrong.
Oh, I forgot, I tend to quote #TheYoungOnes too. (My podcast is called #15CredibilityStreet. Follow it if you get that joke.)
The reason why this platform feels so natural is because I'm a regular tweetdeck user.
If I make Spinal Tap and Caddyshack references on here, will ppl get them?
Ugh. Suddenly I see hateful people (named PZ) I don't want to see on the feed. The bubble has burst.
Dog and bunny are buds. We're a happy house.
