So I have recently come back to Mastadon (mainly Sunbeam.city) and I'm looking for more people to follow.
Specifically looking for people interested in:
#solarpunk
#climate_change
#zerowaste
#minimalism
#science
#microbiology
#laboratory / #laboratory_science
#gardening
#homestead
And like pretty much anything else similar to the above. So if you toot a lot of things related to the above I would greatly appreciate if you retoot, favourite or reply to this.
@downey And even more so when the owner of said site has committed to the #SurveillanceCapitalism panopticon mode of exploiting users for profit.

Also, (more wisdom via Spike Trotman) NEVER, EVER sign away lifetime IP rights! That's the most important thing you have as a creator!
If you want to make money from your work, great! Put it on prints, merch! License it! Etc!
But there's really nothing that's worth complete, total, *lifetime* control of your work! Because once you've signed your IP rights away, that's IT.
One of those days when making words is a form of performance root-canal. #amwriting #amwritingdreadfullyslowly

Well, everyone, this little pet project of mine has a name now: Tales From The Fediverse!
If you want to be a part of this anthology or help out in any way, shape, or form, reply or DM me!
If you don't think you can help, give us a boost!
Would love to try write.as, but not gonna happen while it claims all kinds of privacy goodness but demands I jump the reCapcha hoops to get in. Paging @write_as
@andrhia You might also one day try Ultimate Email Nirvana -- just delete the damn things permanently. Oh, the liberation!😂

Can everyone just STOP using Google captcha 😠
Whew. 4000 words today. A record for me. #amwriting
1k words done. Not great volume, but they are pretty good words, some of them. Words like "and" and "fury" and "knees"...
An enforced 2week "internet holiday" (aka service outage) has made me ridiculously productive. Might have to switch the internet off more often. #amwriting
Five items someone would put in a salt circle to summon me:
- A garden fork
- Heirloom veg seeds
- Laphroaig whisky (sp?)
- A nice hefty fountain pen, square nib
- Khashmir Curry (non-meat)
