Mediaite right wing writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and referred to him as the founder of the platform in his article https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter/ #tech #twitter #twittermigration #twitterexodus #news #media

Some recent #Defaidodon encounters. I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to be in that field of crops.

Here's some in colour from the same day. I was a bit happier with how these came out.

I spent a day walking around Holyhead a month or so ago. Took these pics on #KodakPortra160 but I really didn't like the way the colours came out on most of them, so I've edited them a little and converted to B&W.

There's some interesting stuff online about the Apapa. Turns out many of its crew were from Nigeria and other parts of the British Empire.

I live just over the road from Glanadda cemetery in Bangor. I read yesterday that there's a grave there belonging to John Thomas, a Nigerian sailor who died on the SS Apapa when it was torpedoed by a U-boat in 1917. The ship sank off Anglesey. It took me a couple of hours to find the grave. Here it is, next to Isaac Peppel's, a sailor from Sierra Leone who also died when the Apapa sunk. Thomas is a very Welsh name, of course, so there are several war graves marked Thomas in the cemetery.

@EricaEvans It's a Ricoh GRIIIX.

I got a new camera a couple of weeks ago, after selling all my film gear. It's a compact but it has IBIS, and I've really enjoyed messing about with slower shutter speeds. I took these today at Swallow Falls and Pont-y-pair in Betws-y-coed, all taken at 1 second. #photography #Snowdonia

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.

@russell I can almost see it from my window.

@cadachllestri I've taken the train to Holyhead and bus up to Bethesda. There's a service that runs to Llanberis from here that I've been meaning to take.

@russell I live just around the corner. Will have a look tomorrow.

@russell I'll check these tips out, thanks. I've seen the map down near the swimming pool. Can just about see the sluice gate where it comes out into the bay.

@cadachllestri Ah, interesting. I didn't know the names of them, and was wondering if they had been moved inside. We usually try to spot ones within walking distance of Bangor. I don't drive, so we're reliant on my wife to drive us into the mountains when she's not at work. I'd like to show the toddler some mountain goats too.

Some more photos of our small flock of #sheep (#defraidodon).

1. Phoebe. Another former show sheep who thinks she’s a dog.

2. Camisa. Our eldest and the last we have to have been born on the farm.

3. (LR) Annie, former show sheep and sweetheart. Lucy, mother of quads — and her two yearlings, June and Jane. The troublemakers.

4. Doríe. A skittish #Shetland who would prefer you stop looking at her now.

@cadachllestri Do you think they'll be gone for the winter? Try explaining this to an 18 month old!

One of my favourite things to do in London was to follow #HiddenRivers like the Fleet, the Hackney Brook, and the Moselle. When we moved to Bangor, the guy we bought our house from told us about the river Adda, which flows underground through the middle of the town. I've walked almost all of it, I think, and there aren't many spots where you can see or hear it. Today I noticed this waterfall on Caernarfon Road that must flow into it.

#Defaidodon One of our (me and my toddler) favourite things to do is go looking for sheep. She is a big fan and will watch them in wonder, making "baa" noises. Lately the sheep near us seem to have been moved to inaccessible fields or somewhere else, so it's getting harder to find good sheep content. Here's some from back in September.

Ok, here we go! First tweet/toot/shout into the abyss on Mastodon.

I’m Twitter.com/MrsSpalding and a secondary Deputy Headteacher leading on curriculum, T&L, Pupil Premium, community outreach, and a few other bits and bobs.

Please say hi!

I’m going to post a few nice pics from time to time. If you live in Wales, you just have to. #snowdonia #carneddau
