@noahshachtman Hi! Learning about this new spot and glad to find you here!
@noahshachtman newish but hello! i'm ollie and im a english major at a historically women's college and also a anarchist. love to read, write poetry and watch baseball
@noahshachtman hello! A week and a half. That’s still new? I’ve got to work out what to talk about that anyone might care about lol.
@Binita put it to you this way... i've been at rolling stone since september 2021, and i still count myself as 'new'
@Binita @noahshachtman
How about jazz? Perhaps Jon Batiste. “Tell the Truth” “Freedom”, etc. 🎶💃🏻
@noahshachtman Hello! I am new. :) My name's Tara but I go by Myssiing as well. I would say I'm less a 'Twitter Refugee' and more that the events over the course of the past week have made me more interested in what Mastadon is. I'd heard of it before but never jumped over here. I'm on several socials and haven't wholly dedicated myself to any of them. I'm interested in gaming, weather, data, research, tech, science, etc. :) HMU if you'd like!
@Myssiing me too! (well, except for weather.)
@noahshachtman I'm new here. Still working on getting my footing.
@noahshachtman hi, still learning this thing out.
@noahshachtman hi! I'm a leadership coach and improviser helping people unlock confidence and joy. And I'm still figuring out how federated software works!
@noahshachtman

@noahshachtman Hi, I'm Drew! I'm a former newspaper editor from Missouri. Nowadays, I'm a Dad who writes poetry and tell Nazis (aka, my entire state government at the moment) to "fuck off". Howdy! #introduction
@noahshachtman hi! I’m an Argentinian composer, former lawyer and web3 believer. Still trying to figure out the mastodon language and best practices… for now it feels like a fresh and good faith restart. Like the smell of wet soil after the storm.
@noahshachtman Hi, I've followed you over from Twitter...which sounds creepy now that I say it cyber-ly out loud.
@noahshachtman hi! Heather from California. A sociologist, psychotherapist and political junkie. I learn from others.
@noahshachtman After being in game startups that produced mobile games Draw Something and Song Pop, I ran the NYT Crossword business helping add new games like Spelling Bee, Tiles and others to turn it into NYTimes Games. Loving the vibe here as it reminds me of early days when you could connect with folks - which actually helped me get into the casual/social/mobile games business in the first place.
@noahshachtman Long time Twitter lurker, first time Mastodon poster. Big fan! I lead fact checking across true crime and dark history podcasts for Parcast @ Spotify. Conde alum/survivor.
@lorisegal I have listened to approximately 90000 of those Parcast true crime pods!
@noahshachtman love to hear it! They’re addictive for sure
@noahshachtman Hi, I’m a nerdly business analyst for pay and an author of historical fiction for…. well, that doesn’t pay much. I’m a bit of a Twitter addict for breaking news and humor (which are usually not found in the same tweet) but working in IT, I think I am hearing an impending collpase over there. I love that Mastodon is open source and I hope I get better at this because I’m on the learning curve for sure. It feels cozy here and I’m vibing on it.
@noahshachtman - Noah - nice ta meetcha (ChiCAgo) - I’ve enjoyed the magazine over the past year - good job - well done you!
