Another giant introduction

Hi everyone! I don't know what happened to my pinned introduction, so here is a somewhat new one.

I've been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.

I'm a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it's the first time I'm having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You'll never get just one thing with me and my website.

As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I'm not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It's just that novellas are my comfort zone.

My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I'm extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don't shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.

That being said, if you don't like angsty Romances, I'm probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that's lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.

My blog/website has everything about me. It's the best way to get inside of my head. I don't use video based spaces often because I'm blind so video spaces really don't interest me.

My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.

I listen to podcasts religiously, especially fiction podcasts. Podcast audiobooks. Fiction audio dramas. All kinds of fiction podcasts.

I'm an audiobook reader.

I love reading character driven stories.

Some additional things that bring me profound joy.

Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That's how much I love them!

I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.

I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that's when I'm doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.

I'm huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.

I'm a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.

As for links, the only two links of mine you'll need are below but I also included an interview link.

I should introduce myself, Hey I'm Samantha. The Founder of VEX.blue, where I run brands such as Break3 Studios & Break3 Gaming along with created tools such as BirdConvert for the Fediverse.

As I've moved over to Break3.social, I felt it was right to explain who I am, What I do, along with what you can expect from me.

Thank you to @sycamorefibers for encouraging me to try out Mastadon! A little about myself: I'm a mom of 2 boys in the California Bay Area who always wanted to be a professional artist. Discovered toner foiling as a pandemic art project. In the summer of 2021, I drew and foiled some of my friends' pets and shared to social media. It exploded and it snowballed into my first business! Here is my latest work: Capybara Zodiac Signs!

My name is Sashin.

I am functioning as a software developer but I am an aspiring writer.

I am passionate about clear communication, left-wing politics (anarchism, human rights and anti-bigotry), free software and animal rights.

I want to develop a deep understanding about how the world works, spread that knowledge and work towards making it a better place.

I love anime and manga.

My favourite manga is #onepiece which I have been reading every week since I was in highschool.

My favourite anime is probably The Tatami Galaxy.

I also like Ping Pong the Animation, Kino's Journey, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Gintama and many others.

I am have been learning Japanese largely on my own for the last five years. I've changed around how I have been approaching it, but have settled on immersion (lots of watching and listening to content in the language) as the best way.

I do flashcards everyday using Anki, where I learn ten new words and review words I already know and I am basically always listening to something in Japanese so long as I am not interacting with people or doing something that commands a lot of attention (so while walking, cleaning, cooking etc I am always listening, I also have a shower speaker). I don't do anything every special with my attention when immersing, I think the subconscious is where the magic of language acquisition happens.

I also love video games, I have a steam deck which I have more or less perpetually docked and connected to my housemate's projector. My favourite game is probably Undertale. I also love The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda and Hollow Knight.

Anyway it's nice to meet everyone!

よろしくお願いします！

Who should I be following on #fedi lately?
(Boosts appreciated)

I'd appreciate some help finding more people to follow-- tags below give a sense of who I'm looking to follow-- is this you or anyone you think I should be following?

Despite following almost 650 people over the last few years, my timeline feels increasingly empty and stale lately, a ghost town compared to a year ago or more, and I'm looking at refreshing things a bit. A lot of people have left the platform or are (understandably) afraid to post so much, especially due to the chilling effect of rising #fascism. But I'm still here, still posting. Still writing my #radical shit. Still trying to read and engage with others.

Time for an intro update!

Hi all, I'm Gem (Ikkle Gemz).

I'm a disabled female & I love Disney, anime, Japanese & Korean stuff, cats, KDramas, Neighbours, tech, gaming & more. I also love the Fediverse & checking out new servers/instances & run a few of my own. I've also discovered an interest in privacy products

I'm also on here using variations of my nickname. Some I don't use as much now that I have my own instances/servers.

Feel free to ask questions.

I am Anubis. You probably know who I am. I am a guide and protector. On here, however, I shall, most likely, talk and post about various topics which I am interested in. I am, of course, interested in Ancient Egypt and mythology, but also art, philosophy and religion. I am currently trying my hand at creating various (albeit very simple) emoji. I also enjoy music, writing and reading. I will, most likely, also share various jokes. Additionally, it is likely that I will also talk about various everyday events and technology and language.

I do not, as of yet, have my own website. However, I shall be working on creating on in the foreseeable future.

Feel free to talk to me if you wish, but please introduce yourself and state the reason for your wishing to talk to me. I am not the best at small talk.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could boost this post so that our newly-created instance can get some help with federation.

Somos um projeto de educação popular, de Pelotas-RS, somos anarquistes e simpatizantes semeando conhecimento y luta através de uma biblioteca comunitária na esquina mais badala da Vila Castilho.

Aqui vamos postar um pouco de atividades e eventos que acontecem no horário de abertura da biblioteca, das 15 às 19 horas.

This is my fifth time on Mastodon and my fifth #intro.

I’m Sara. Originally from #Portugal, now based in the #Netherlands. I’m into #tech, especially #audio and #accessibility, love #music, travel quite a bit, and survive mostly on #coffee.

I’ve been on Mastodon before, but life got busy, and some servers disappeared along the way.

I’m here to meet cool people, have good conversations, share thoughts about tech, sound, travel, and random stuff, and actually stick around this time.

Hello Everyone!

You may or mayn't heard about me before.

This is Ramón.

I'm back again to the fediverse, the server I was in appeared too liberal and restricts freedom of speech, as a result joined here, that's for now.

Hello! It has been a while since I posted an intro, so here goes:

My online name is Dolphin 👋
I am not important. I am not here to sell anything. I hate nazis. I am an #LGBTQIA+ / trans #ally and mom.

I will write nerdy posts that I carefully analyze and source & then post silly things.

My deep dive 🤿, serious posts are generally about 1) #business / #finance / #economics, 2) #HumanRights and 3) #privacy. I often post article screenshots.

Instância nova, hora de me apresentar! Eu gosto de batata frita, de tecnologia retrô (coisas de 8 bits, linguagens e sistemas criados nos anos 1970 e 1980, etc.) e de baralho cigano.

Por aqui eu mantenho alguns bots e serviços escritos em AWK, e coleciono efemérides, que publico na tag #NaData.

Tenho autismo, sou Administrador especialista em gestão de crises e trabalho com estratégia e gestão de projetos e de riscos, tenho 51 anos.

Não gosto que me mandem links sem dizer o que são!
