Managing editor (books). Runner. I have cats. She/her. Brooklyn.
Good morning.
Up early, cats are fed. Tuna and pumpkin, their favorite. Time to go run.
I feel reasonably okay after yesterday's long run. And I'm looking forward to a medium run today on trails with friends.
Is there a way to follow a hashtag? Like have it show up in a timeline? (Does it depend on how I'm accessing things? Tusky on Android...)
Good #cats.

Hello new Mastodon folks! If you've joined octodon.social, consider helping out our excellent admin @CobaltVelvet keep the servers warm and happy!
#introductions since this where the newbies are looking. Hi, welcome. Here's a few things you should probably know.
-Don't call the network 'Mastodon'. A better term is the 'Fediverse'. Mastodon instances are the most common, but instances of GNU social, pleroma, and others are part of the fediverse.
-The fediverse is decentralized. There are cultural differences. Dont assume each instance has the same rules and ideals, cause some will disagree with you.
Thats all, thank you. Enjoy your time~
@phildini So apparently we're having an influx of new users?
Welcome!
I rec following @cassolotl for great non-techy explanations of mastodon and how it works.
@Are0h for being an awesome person.
And @Curator for some great art.

I'm working on a book about French food and history.
All I want to do is eat cheese now.
Poooor #fostercat got his nails trimmed today.
It took him a while to forgive me.
But now we're friends again.
So apparently the upload didn't work! Here's my painting.

Snow day!
It's nice to open up Mastodon and see a whole bunch of pictures of cute cats.
