Continued thread

See, I knew I was going to forget a lot of people.
@tayfonay is also a good follow for a variety of engaging posts.

@MostlyHarmless
@xinicit and
@ReticentTurnip@universeodon.com are other good ones for comedy.

@MonotoneofBill is also good for comedy but specifically a rapid fire of puns daily.

@boby_biq and @OhOkKay engage a lot here.

I’m sorry to people I’ve left off!

My is for two peeps.
The first is @14prinsp (on the birdsite). Paul has been on Mastodon much longer than me. He has also been curious and so kind to a lost soul. mastodon.social/@14prinsp
My second person is
@katevideo (also on the birdsite). I've not met Kate in person, but I've been so appreciative of her connecting & leadership work around e-portfolios. Thanks Kate. She's on Mastodon at indieweb.social/@edukate

I got an idea (cross posting from the birdsite) Remember . I'd like to suggest (to those who still remain caught on the birdsite and a litle bit isolated here on Mastodon). That we revive the practice. But instead of recommending someone to follow on Twitter. We make the , a link to their Mastodon handle. Thoughts?

I think I'm going to stick around here, so I should do one of those #introduction posts for #followfriday !

I'm a writer of heartwarming, horror-inflected SF and fantasy. I'm likely to post about word weirdness and writing research factoids, what I read and eat, and photos of my cats, nature, and urban incongruities.

I boost cat pics, delightfully odd science/history facts, books and short stories (esp. SF, fantasy, horror, or mystery), artworks, and photos of urban landscapes and street art.
