Quick #introduction as part of my #MastodonMigration. Long-term resident of Japan originally from Massachusetts.

This may be mainly travel for now as that is what I am lucky enough to do for the next year. So, food, landscapes, reflections, and maybe music or just weird things that catch my eye.

Into: #architecture #education #SF #art #DIY #language

Trying to learn: #BahasaIndonesia #drawing #watercolor

Anyone in #Portland in the market for a #king #mattress? I'm "selling" one on craigslist: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/fuo/d/portland-winkbeds-king-size-luxury-firm/7714380146.html

If you mention you saw this on #mastodon, I'll drop the 1 from the price! 😉

In the past, I've posted scores of short story recommendations to #MetaFilter. As part of the current fundraiser, I'm interested in making further front page posts recommending short #scifi and #fantasy stories you can read for free online!

For the rest of August: MeMail me to tell me you've contributed USD $150 to #MeFi, and I'll make a post. $225 if you want to specify some kind of theme.

Whether you've never visited #MetaFilter, you're a longtime #MeFite, you used to participate but that was ages ago, or none of the above:

I am basically sitting back and popping popcorn pre-emptively because I predict this thread on Ask is gonna be super fun:

https://ask.metafilter.com/374257/What-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-reintroducing-animal-powered-transport

"What would the positive and negative impact be of going back to horses as our primary mode of transport instead of fossil fuel powered cars? I've been rolling this around in my head recently..."

#MeFites

I know it's meta of me...pun intended... But metafilter has a discussion running about social media as community and communion that feels relevant to this space.

Editing to add an archive link to the article being discussed on mefi https://archive.vn/dStnz

https://mefi.us/w/197404 new on #MetaFilter: artists and writers struggling with online self-marketing, sharing art on centralised social media, and the effect on the art they make. "Not everyone presents well in 280 characters, especially in a space they don’t even want to be present."

BTW, I don't always toot about my www.metafilter.com posts. In a feedreader, you can subscribe to my #MeFite posts with this RSS feed link: http://www.metafilter.com/user/98835/postsrss
