I want to help create a social media landscape where no one feels invisible or unheard. I don't know where to start, or if it's even possible, but no one should have to feel like they are trapped in a void due to lack of followers or quality shitposts or whatever.

I made a #MTG side-account over at @orb_warded_kor_warlord !

It'll have custom designs, lore shitposting, design principle talk, and all that good stuff

The Erdös number is a measure of publication closeness to mathematician Paul Erdös. Anyone who's co-authored a paper with Erdös has a number of 1, anyone who's co-authored a paper with someone who co-authored a paper with Erdös has a number of 2, etc.

By some accounts, baseball player Hank Aaron has an Erdös number of 1. He signed a baseball alongside Paul Erdös when he was awarded an honorary degree, and many consider the baseball to be a publication.

some of the new folks seem to not be getting this, so here goes.

twitter has social currency, masto has social currency as well.

twitter social currency rules:

- amass followers
- defend your territory
- demolish your opponents

masto social currency rules:

- share your life
- be yourself
- help others

as with anything, there's ways the latter's rules can be taken advantage of, but if you're thinking you can swap out one for the other, you're reading things wrong.

the reason you need to CW your nudes and porn isn't because someone might be at work. it's because someone might not want to see nudes or porn.

Yeah, I use anti-aliasing. Sometimes you just need something to take the edge off.

"I hear many things about the Devil, but I've never heard he is a great kisser."
The Devil gave me a blank look. "What."
"I guess we'll never know," I said.
He kissed me. He wasn't very good.
But if you ever hear I am a great kisser (and I am), I'll know who you heard it from.

Thread: a really cool thing that students have told me about this term are "feminitives"—or basically just feminine endings on nouns. Russophone femininsts draw attention to women in non-traditional roles by ADDING feminine endings to words that don't usually have them.

e.g. vrach (doctor), vrachika (female doctor).

It's fascinating to me that this is the exact OPPOSITE of Anglophone feminist linguistic strategies. 1/

Being naked is great. It can be empowering, liberating, stress reliving, confidence boosting, but most of all, comfortable!

People are wonderful in all their forms. Being comfortable in your own skin is such a great feeling.

Honestly I feel like people in general would be a bit better to one another if a lot of the silly taboos around mere nudity were wiped away. So go be naked! At home! With friends! Just know where you can be naked and it’s okay. =]

Good morning and tootfriends!

Today I wish you a moment of reprieve or relief. ✨

I really wish there were a #masto iOS client that implemented the full spectrum of what’s available behind the settings panel.

The #mastoadmin community would really benefit from being able to do moderation and invites from our phones, I think.
