#Introduction #Journadon #Newstodon #Journalistes #Media #Mediapart #FF #FollowFriday #StarterKit

Hola! Soy Amandine. Estudié biología (empecé en Costa Rica y seguí en México) y ahora doy clases en universidad pública mexicana. Tengo familia en Costa Rica y Francia. Vivo con mi marido y mis 3 gatos. En mi tiempo libre me gusta caminar, ir al mar, cocinar y ocuparme de mis plantas. Gracias por recibirme por acá. #presentación #introduction

Once you get what it means that the soundtrack in my head is a mashup of Óró Sé Do Bheatha Bhaile by Pádraig Pearse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n730FWycrTY) and Strawberry Rush by CHUU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbXa1w-Pa8) you will have gone a long way towards understanding me.

#introduction

Tiens, je réalise que je n'avais pas encore fait mon #introduction malgré quelques années ici, donc ça vaut peut-être le coup de faire cinq pouets à ce sujet ?

Moi c'est Elzen, médiateur scientifique, c'est-à-dire que mon boulot consiste à faire en sorte que les rapports entre les sciences et la société se passent le mieux possible.

Le reste du temps, je fais ce que je peux pour bénévoler notamment auprès de la @federationfdn, de @LaQuadrature et de @skeptikon (où je tiens la chaîne @bfeuilles, mais j'y poste assez peu, d'ailleurs n'hésitez pas si vous avez des sujets à me suggérer !) On me croise souvent dans des événements comme les @jdll ou @capitoledulibre par exemple avec un chapeau, un FFP2 et un paquet de bonbons à distribuer.

(Pensez à retirer les mentions inutiles si vous répondez pour ne pas spammer les gens.)

#introduction

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«

Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.

While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

Formerly @social.tchncs.de, 2021-09-01 to 2024-06-15; then @mastodon.de until 2025-04-17

off the top of my head, my three favorite hashtags are #introduction #monsterdon and #caturday

#introduction

Mostly harmless.

Boring middle aged woman, white, cis, straight, married. I have 2 dogs, a husband and an adult daughter (who is currently expecting my first grandchild).

I live by the seaside. I have old lady hobbies like bird watching, gardening, jigsaw puzzles, baking and reading.

Often sweary and full of rage and snark. I have been known to have opinions.

Also have accounts at @Tattooed_mummy and @Tattooed_mummy@cupoftea.social and I channel my inner goddess at @Anoia

🎶 Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is cR0w.🎶

Apparently I screwed up my autodelete settings and it deleted my #introduction post so here's a new brief one.

Security analyst in the utility space and former tenured professor with experience in PHYSEC and PERSEC, SCADA and ICS, IT and networking, and real utility work digging ditches and cleaning sewers.

Two truths and a lie: Not furry, not a fed, not a forklift operator.

#introduction
Long overdue. I’ll try not to duplicate my profile.

Hi, I’m Māris. I live in the Pacific NW (PNW) of the US, near Seattle, WA. I’m cis-het, married and we have a 23 year old son.

Retired from a 30+ year career in software. I’ve worked for defense contractors, but the bulk of my work was in commercial software. I started as a developer and finished my career as an executive leader for engineering and product management, at companies large and small.

Hi everyone. I need to write a proper announcement later on, but for now, please note that I have moved instances to @kzimmermann Please follow me there instead.

I will keep this one up as a sign pointing to the new one for now, but I will set my toots to autodelete soon. If you like something I wrote, please bookmark it.

For now note that there are several reasons for my move, which I was already planning for a few months now. More information to come

#introduction

Hi, for the new followers 👋🏻, this is my #introduction. I’m TEI from Taiwan, drawing digital manga. I’ve published 1~2 volumes of comic books, and worked with Japanese artists. One of my comics has English version which is titled "Confessions of a 35 Year Old" and you can find it out at the Amazon store (USA).

I'm Taiwanese so my first language is Traditional Chinese. The second language is Japanese. I use translation tool to write English. Thanks for following! 😊

Short new #introduction

Hello everyone being moved over from my old kolektiva account (the happy leftist), and to all the new people following us because we posted some cute ducks yesterday. Just wanted to let you all know that sometimes I post nudes (always with CW), sometimes we share TMI about the weirdness happening inside our head (we're an AuDHD system), sometimes we go off on political rants, and almost always we post too many memes. Mostly stolen but sometimes I make them.

Hi & Welcome

Hello everyone! 👋👋👋

I've just joined the Fediverse, and I chose @zirk.us bc I'm most interested in #literature and the arts more broadly. I also created a #reading account via #Bookwyrm @d-integration, and a Fediverse-supported #blog (launching today) for my writings at @weaver.

I'm most interested in #SpeculativeFiction, especially #SciFi and the #Weird, #ArabLit, #SocialCritique, #CriticalTheory, #Philosophy, and all things #Surreal and/or #reality breaking.

#Introduction

I’m sure u know me
It’s me, son of Lord.
So sick of ur bullshit
My jaw getting floored.
Straight from the heavens
I bitch in ma mic
Delivering takes
U not gonna like.
Now straight to the point:
This is a shitshow.
I’m rollin my joint
And I’m gonna blow
Fine fairy dust to make u forget
That my plan is working, unnoticed, not yet.

#Introduction #peakfriktion #podcast

I was an educator for 38 years, mostly as a media specialist, ending with three summers as the director of the GA Governor's Honors Program. I was artistic director of Newnan Theatre Co. for 25 years. I wrote "Lichtenbergianism: procrastination as a creative strategy" (http://amzn.to/2z8c3pv) and composed "William Blake's Inn" (bit.ly/WilliamBlakesInn). I've been a burner for 10 years. #introduction

Time for a fresh #Introduction post. Been 18 months since the last one.

I'm Cait, late 50s, GenX, transitioned at 26 in 1992. I used to translate (not interpret) French, German, and Russian to English, for 23 years. I'm now retired due to disability (I use a cane for mobility), and my primary occupation is activism for the queer community.

I am comfortable (to a greater or lesser degree) conversing in French, German, Russian, or Spanish (in decreasing order of ability to speak well), and I can converse in basic Japanese too.

I am autistic and have ADHD, making me neurospicy to a degree that makes my white ass somewhat uncomfortable, just because of the word spicy.

I don't identify as having been an egg; my trans is more of a bulb, sending up shoots repeatedly to try and blossom, only to be cut down again and again. I always knew, as far back as I have memory, that I was a girl. I was genuinely confused why other people couldn't see it. I believe gatekeeping is fundamentally immoral, and should be resisted.

I post a lot about trans stuff, and some about political stuff. I support radical bodily autonomy, police and prison abolition, Marxist mutual aid, and anti-racism.

I do not maintain my passing privilege, so that I can be a visible trans person in my safe community, so that people know we live among them, and we're just ordinary, green-haired, tattooed, anime-loving, weed-smoking senior citizens like anyone else.

I have an abiding love for football (:soccer: ), Tottenham, music from Jamaica, and being part of the trans and autistic communities.

I live in the colonial power known in the West as Canada, on stolen land. And I have a #PrivilegeJar.

ACAB; Black Lives Matter; Trans Lives Matter; Black Trans Lives Matter!

I am also a Major in the 3rd Battalion, 10th Division of Antifa International, with command of a thousand hardy antifa superwarriors, ready to infiltrate your right-wing protest at any time.

Hi Mastodon! I’m Sheril 👋

I am a scientist working in the U.S. Senate on policies related to energy, environment, ocean, ag & tech!

I also host Serving Up Science on PBS & wrote a couple of books.

My PhD is in community sustainability & I’m broadly interested in how we make decisions about science. #introduction

Hello Fediverse! It's time for a new instance #introduction, having recently migrated to BSD.Cafe from hachyderm.io.

The neurosurgeons said I wouldn't wake up from the coma, but they were wrong.
Then they said I'd never walk or talk again, but they were wrong.

I never expected to reach forty, and so often now I wonder, "how long will the 🧠 tumor let me live?"

Professionally, I'm a Principal Systems Architect focused on performance engineering for "global edge compute" workloads. This year marks two ticks from having worked for a quarter-century in the tech industry. 💾 :sparc64: 🥰

Personally, my interests range from backcountry telemark skiing and long-range marksmanship in the wilderness, to berries and bunnies and everything in-between as long as it's cute and pink and sweet and made of hearts! 💗

Hi there, kind #fedizens 👋

Time for reintroductions. I have been a janitor on the #fedi for a couple of years, mopping floors, plumbing toilets, fixing intercoms. That kind of work. While satisfying in itself, it is unpaid and looked down upon, unthankful work.

So now I am reorientating. Don't wanna work for free anymore, can't even. I need food to help improve the world :)

Unsure where I'll walk, I put dreams first. And can gift you short introduction nuggets, as I know more.

#Introduction

new #introduction! this jasmine [ʝasˈmiːn] is an intense and inconsistent 40+ single mom. formerly a lot of things including composer, political activist and teacher, but three years ago transformed into a project of healing both self and others. multi-dimensional masker and neuroqueer with an &. possesses skills like creepy people reading, chaotic moving and unconditional love. hobbies may include psychology, long walks and giving cis women gender envy. i like hugs, trans people and vengeance. will always be online and never clean my room 💕

Perhaps I need an #introduction.
I am the goddess Anoia.
I am the goddess of things stuck in drawers. And volcanoes.
I mostly watch the #discworld but have been known to stray into roundworld so it's best to stay on my good side.
Every time you swear at a stuck drawer, I am there. Rattle them and pray.
I may branch out into looking after things that fall down the back of unmovable furniture, and coins found in sofas.
#GNUTerryPratchett

So, apparently it's popular to make an #introduction post here, and pin it to the top.

My name is Alexander, though since recently friends call me Lexu, which I thought was a cool nickname, so I go under it now. I currently live in the beautiful city of Kutaisi in Imereti, though that will change, many times probably. I am a Unix programmer. Most of what I write is either a quick script in shell/perl, or a "serious" program in C. Other than that I read lots of nonfiction and draw sketches.
