We're here and so is @womenslibrary. Surely we can't be the only #UKMuseums on Mastodon! Is there anyone else here yet? Come and say hi! We don't bite, vagina dentata is a myth.

I’ve been debating whether this should be in my #intro and #AboutMe but after debating the should I/shouldn’t I, I’ve decided to add it… so here we are here’s my newly added #bisexual
So why was I undecided? Well when I have chosen to mention it in the past I have often had the “but your married to a man?” comments and also in a previous career it would have certainly been frowned upon by some. But then I reflected and wondered how many others like me hide this part of themselves?

EDIT: reread this updated toot and reboost it if you agree.

By unbanning Trump (EDIT: and by now countless other trolls and known fascists, as well as banning left wing accounts) Elon Musk is purposefully making Twitter (and by extension the world) an unsafe place for marginalized people all over the world.

We should not simply flee from Twitter, but actively work together to break its power.

Consider your stay on Mastodon a political statement, because that's what it really is. And consider not just focussing on your own comfort, away from the ruckus of hateful tweeters, but also contributing on building a lasting infrastructure were all people can be safe. And you don't need to be technical to do that. Promote using the Fediverse as a political and philosophical necessity.

It should be clear to you by now that media (be it social or otherwise) in corporate hands can never be truly safe. Maybe safe enough for you, but not safe for everyone.

We need decentralized, community owned, non-profit media, with a likewise technical infrastructure.

For safety.
For equality.
For democracy.
For freedom.

For our future.

EDIT: The war for safe social media cannot be won on a billionaire owned for-profit platform. Our battle is fought by creating our own thing. Shaping our own world.

If you meet someone with ADHD, autism, or both, it can be safe to assume that they might have lived their lives thinking they were not good enough so.. be kind :)

I'm seeing folks leaving the #birdapp making their #introduction on Mastodon. Seems like a good idea. Am I doing this right?

I'm a professional working and loving the gaming industry. Also an avid gamer who is chronically online. When I'm not at my PC, I'm watching TV or movies with my husband, or playing with my puppies and cats.

My interests are:
#Gaming
#Theatre
#FFXIV
#Twitch
#deadbydaylight
#VideoHorrorSociety
#Cats
#Dogs

Finally, here are my animals. I hope this offering of cute pet pictures please you, Mastodon crowd.

One is a chubby Siamese cat named Tuna Salad, next to her is an orange sleek cat named Macaroni Salad, and at the end is a beautiful brown cat named Caesar Salad.

Hello!

I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like a baby chick straight out of its shell here!

I'm a Theatre Director (largely working on musicals, but generally just love to tell a good old story!) based in London. I'm looking to fill my feed with all things theatre - where are you stagey people at?!

I'm also a Life & Creative Coach, working with clients (many in the entertainment industries), to live life on their kickass terms.

Enough about me - help me find you by following!
