@danibcessna Welcome.

I’m loving this opportunity to escape the dumpster fire of the bird site and start fresh here! I’m a spec fic writer and happy to connect with others in the writing community!

1. The August weather continues in Vermont, giving us time to stack the last of the wood, put the gardens to bed and hike.
2. I just deleted every game from my iPhone and look forward to the extra time I will have each day.
3. This space seems to be attracting some very nice people relieved and surprised that people here are so gracious and civil.

@Narwhal
Thank you.

Starting again with a new profile, so time for an #introduction -

Hi! I'm Ben Werdmuller. I've been a blogger since 1998. These days I post regularly at https://werd.io. Writing is my first love, and I'm working on a novel.

I founded two FOSS social platforms (Elgg and Known), worked at a mission-driven investor, worked at Medium, and was Geek in Residence at Edinburgh Festivals. Today I'm CTO at The 19th (19thnews.org), a women-led newsroom that reports on gender, politics and policy.

Hi everyone 🥰 I've had this account for a while but never really used it. Now seems like a good time for an #introduction

🙋🏻‍♀️Ivana Isadora, from Croatia. You might remember me from the bird site as ivana_isadora - https://twitter.com/i/events/1586404411441569794
💻 I write about tech for a living, and I love it! In my day job, I develop software documentation.
🆓 Big believer in principles of FOSS. I support and promote FOSS culture, communities & contributors whenever possible.

Excited to meet new like-minded folks here!

@bethanyrobison welcome.

Vermont Fall #blackandwhitephotography

I'm looking for a good online #writing group, particularly one that focuses on #nonfiction. Any recs? #amwriting #WIP #write

@thebradking
Annie Dillard’s Living.

Last three:
Toni Morrison’s second book: The Bluest Eyes.

Nathaniel Ian Miller’s (first) The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven

Brian Doyle’s Mink River

Highly recommend all of them.

@MerylEvans welcome

Looks like folks are doing #introductions. All righty.

Howdy y’all! I was born hearing-free aka profoundly deaf. I read lips (more lip guessing). I'm a TEDx and professional speaker on DEI with a focus on #accessibility and disability awareness. I’m certified Accessibility Professional and #DigitalMarketer who works with companies to evangelize the creation of an inclusive and accessible culture. Proud Mom of 3. One is an international traveler and one is a rocket scientist in the making

@kosborne big difference? People are civil. It’s a community, not a place for firehoses.

Welcome #writer

@cogdog always ahead of the curve, my friend.

@cogdog it’s a shame really. So many cool sites were created in Flash; never could figure out why Adobe couldn’t have dug in and figured how to solve the security issues.

@katebowles @plants thanks for that response. Interesting and heart-warming.

I have a massive lilac fro a cutting I made from my Mom’s lilac tree 24 years ago which had grown fro a cutting she made 50 years before that from a woman who had brought the cutting when she moved to the U.S. from England 34 years before that (who know the origin of THAT lilac).

Each spring, in full bloom, I can see my Mom’s smile, her glee at this wonder of nature and care.

Ethan Allen House, Vermont, on a windy fall day. 🤪

@katebowles @plants what a nice reminder, remembrance.

My best to you.

@cogdog unfortunately some seem, like Hollow, we’re done in Flash.
