Faye#introduction Hi, I’m new here, but I’m giving this Mastodon thing a try! I’m an ecologist by training, currently teaching intro bio to undergrads. I’m an #insect enthusiast with particular love for #bees, #wasps and other garden critters. I have a chaotic good #vegetablegarden and plant lots of #nativeplants for the yard critters. I’m also a #twinmom and #vegetarian #cook. Don’t have a #dog yet but I love to see photos of your #dogs. What are you #reading right now?
C Silva@faye Faye, welcome! Be sure to put up some posts so people get a feel for you and want to follow you. Insect photos are nearly as popular as dog photos, I think. Check out #bookstodon I’m currently reading The Book of Form and Emptyness by Ruth Ozeki, and loving it. @owlislost is a good person to follow for books.
John McChesney-Young@fondoffawns @faye @owlislost Yes, welcome! A note about photos: There are a good number of people with visual disabilities on Mastodon and they greatly appreciate inclusion of alt text with images. I just finished That All Shall be Saved by David Bentley Hart, I'm most of the way through Carry On, Jeeves by Wodehouse, and I'm about to start The Gutenberg Parenthesis by Jeff Jarvis. Also about halfway through reading Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo aloud to my wife.
