This is my first post on this instance and my first post on mastadon. My thing is ASLWrite which you can find more info at slwrite.org (completely free and not mine) and lots of links to browse at https://chirp.me/ASLwriteFan. Many of which are my socials but several links are educational and learning materials from others.

I wasn't sure if/where/when I'd be accepted on an instance so I have now, just after being accepted on this instance, been accepted on another. While there will be some overlap I will try to keep each instance an unique approach.

Hey there! Not quite sure what to start with, so let it be an oil pastels still life I’ve made a couple days ago

Tentatively rejoining a social media 🫣

Though I feel one step away from going full Enemy-of-the-State-Gene-Hackman, and building me a giant faraday cage.

Hi! I'm new to this, but I've been using Mastodon since 2016.
My interests here are primarily infosec, hacking, bug bounty, programming, and reading news and publications on those topics.
I have accounts in other servers.

I’ve been wondering what I wanna do with this account. There’s so many things I love to talk about- politics, poetry, art, myself. I’ve settled on my paganism, since I’d quite like to have a little corner on my phone dedicated for it. This isn’t a particularly pagan sketch, just a magical little tree I drew a few weeks back, but I thought it was a good starting point. I really like it, and I hope anyone who sees this does too. I’ll probably be posting more art in the future, since I am an artist!

-Love, Silas 🌀

FIRST POST! :heart_gel:

Heyo! I'm Freak and I'm just a little guy!

I'm moving from Baraag. I will be uploading my art here! I will probably start with old stuff??? And then get to the new. I'll try to upload one or two pieces a day! Mind content warnings as my work can be triggering at times!

My main focuses going forward are going to be my OCs for my upcoming webcomic and Inside Job! I am absolutely obsessed with Brett Hand. He is my new f/o..!

This site is really pretty! I like the green!

Holy moly I just saw that on my new account they let me have up to 5000 characters for a single post.

This seems like a really bad idea because it's just possible I will use them from time to time. 5000 characters isn't a toot, it's a character assassination!

I'm a 55 year old white fella who survived childhood, got lucky in each of my careers and then married just the most wonderful woman in the world. Sometimes I feel super lucky, sometimes I feel super exhausted from just trying survive on this planet.

I have some geek skills. I am curious about the human brain, and how we fail to make good use of it. I am definitely on the divergent side of neuro, with a life-long speech impediment + ADHD. I used to think I was broken, but now I know better. I am what I am.

I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).

So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.

I can help you with:

  • finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
  • understanding how it all works
  • editing your profile and settings
  • finding your bubble
  • helping others find you
  • finding answers to further questions

I can help you by:

  • replying publicly
  • replying via DM
  • videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
  • finding others who can answer the questions that I can't

This offer goes to:

  • everybody (except trolls)
  • not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
  • not just people in the climatejustice movement
  • not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
  • not even only new people

I speak English and German.

Welcome to all the recent Mastodon arrivals!

Some tips to help you get started:

  1. Share a post with your interests & the introduction # to let us know what you're about

  2. Pin your intro post to your profile, as an extended bio.

  3. For more traction (:boost_ok: boosts) add alt text descriptions to all your images.

  4. Add a profile pic and fill in your bio page, so we know you're not a bot

Hi. I seek to figure this place out.
So far I am a little confused.

This is my first time using social media / Mastodon. Thought i would share a blender artwork I did a while a go. I am still very much a beginner any tips are welcome.

The design is based of this series by lichtspieler erklärvideo manufaktur but very much original
https://youtu.be/watch?v=-jZEFHhssiA&t=0
Sharing this as a YouTube link due to the invidious instance not existing anymore.

The same lamp but the background isn't lit anymore the only light coming from the lamp itself. Both images where created in blender.
