Working-class women aren’t supposed to say this.
But I did.

And I want to hear it from you too.

Join me. Tell me about your work. Your words. What you’ve built.

@eniko Seems to me like Mastodon should definitely be a place where people get to toot their own horn...

In fact I would really expect there to be a hashtag for this! I see one post in #TootYourOwnHorn why not start using that?

I think I'll start using that myself and will start following it. It also provides a nice phrase to filter out for people who don't want to see it, I think.

I thought about how I might to use this platform in a way that makes me happy rather than feeling "if I open the birdapp, I will start to imposter because of all the important things that I should have read AGES ago". That's why I will try to only toot about academic stuff during work hours and see if can make it a habit to toot my own horn (hihi) for achieving little things of academic life. Today: I refreshed on Braun&Clarke's TA intro and am now so excited to start coding #tootYourOwnHorn

What did you do today that went well? I arose early and wrote some #NaNoWriMo words, then cycled to work on my trusty Dahon #bike.
I did a mental health act assessment #MHA at someone's home, which the patient seemed to enjoy even though the outcome was that they needed to come into hospital, sadly. One of the doctors at the assessment agreed to follow my son on #twitch while we were waiting for the ambulance so he now has 57 followers! Good day.
