My fellow tooters might appreciate this. I really wanted to read a dissertation whose author had uploaded it to Academia.edu (a very seedy website), so I signed up with a fake name, "Seedy Academic".
Today I get an email: ‘Dear Seedy Academic, 565 papers recently uploaded to Academia.edu mention the name "Seedy Academic". View your mentions.’
(It was Jennifer Pournelle’s 2003 dissertation, “Marshland of Cities:
Deltaic Landscapes and the Evolution of Early Mesopotamian Civilization”).

I made a flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!
So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.
@wohali And now that I understand what you're talking about, thanks for making me aware this issue.
@wohali OK, I misunderstood you.
@wohali Nope, you can search for hashtags hidden behind CWs. If you search for #nangartag, you'll get the test toot I made a few minutes ago to verify this.

Wandered into my boss' office for a meeting only to find her busily printing up these anti-sexism posters to hang around the office and campus. She is a delight. https://www.thewomanintheroomproject.com/
@DialMforMara I'd start with the relevant sections of the following articles on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Wisconsin#Pre-Columbian_history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Milwaukee#History_to_1820
Then look up more info about the tribes and cultures mentioned.
The bit about Jacques Vieau and Angelique Roy and the Métis community in Milwaukee sounds pretty fascinating.

Did you know Mastodon supports alt text for images that are uploaded? It's for accessibility and those that use screen readers. You can see it when hovering over an image (give it a try on the image in this toot).
Don't forget to add alt text. A lot of users appreciate it.
Kathy Tran came to the U.S. as a refugee from Vietnam when she was an infant. Tonight, she became the first Asian American woman elected to the Virginia House of Delegates. Congrats @kathykltran!
