Since it can be confusing at times to try and find new content:

If you see the name of an instance that looks interesting, like mastodon.art, you can add /public to the end of the URL to see a list of everything being published there without having an account on it. You can even click on a user, click their follow button, and enter the account you want to follow them with (revthwack@starbase80.wtf in my case).

#MastodonTips

Caught myself over the last day or so realizing that I had ... grown comfortable ... with the fediverse being so rich with trans folk.

And by comfortable, I mean, very close to taking for granted the people who've done so much to build the fediverse up and make the fediverse work.

With the sudden influx of new people I've realized that if I'm not careful I could--at least for longer stretches of time than would be healthy--forget that and that doing so wouldn't be right.

Amongst the mix of hope and expectation of what good this recent influx might bring, and the technical and social frustrations newcomers also have brought, I began to lose sight of something that was pretty hard to miss on the way here: That trans folk built this, that trans folk keep it running, that trans folk made this in part for trans folk but have been so willing to welcome and share it.

Today’s poem is called ‘An Update to My Privacy Policy’.

Mom said it's my turn to spread misinformation online

On the subject of CW for politics, here's some #feditips !

You can precise what you're talking about easily, the standard CW is "pol", however, you can narrow things down greatly just by adding your country code, for exemple, "USpol", "FRpol", etc.

You can add "elections" to signal that you're making a post about ongoing elections, or "climate" if it's political stuff related to climate

It's money well spent

I'm going to share what is probably the simplest, and yet most time consuming, lesson in learning a new skill.

"How are your lines so neat?"
Practice.

"How can you hold a pen so steady?"
Practice.

"How do you get everything so symmetrical?"
Practice.

"How do you come up with all the different patterns?"
Practice.

When I first started drawing, and after a few years of doing it.

Stick with it. Like any skill, practice leads to improvement. If you love doing it, keep going.
