I’ve dedicated much of my career to illuminating how conflict and foreign policy shape the lives of people and communities around the globe. I’m passionate about shedding light on the human stories behind the headlines. I’m excited to connect with others here on Mastodon!

Привіт, Катя! Welcome to Mastodon, and I hope you enjoy your time here. 😊

Small suggestion: if you add #Introduction to your initial post, it will travel further. 🌟

welcome, Katie, and kudos to you for this work!

You’ve probably come across @timkmak already? Maybe he can share a few tips on hashtags and accounts you could follow?

Hope you’ll like it here and will feel somewhat at home on Mastodon!

Hey Katie, welcome here!

@katielivingstone So happy to see you here on Mastodon! I hope that you find your community and audience here!

If I can help with understanding mastodon stuff, I'd be delighted to assist. It's not like other platforms here, mostly in good ways.

Editing to add: I'm a nobody, but I'm been running a small instance for several years. I'm a science+data+art nerd. So, outside of your expertise. But I love the best of Mastodon.

@katielivingstone Welcome to Mastodon and the Fediverse! Glad you joined. An odd question: How can we verify that it's actually Katie Livingstone who owns this account? Is there a site where you published your Mastodon handle? (I'm curious because there's a lot of unofficial accounts/bots here.)
