Lizard McGuire

Hello, all! I’m stoked to be here and out of algo-misery to rediscover the commons with y’all. That said, I’m still getting my bearings on how to explore this place. Like is the internet really encouraging me to ask strangers for directions in the year of our lord 2026?? Well, here I am asking! Which corners of the federation are you enjoying these days? Bonus points if they involve #dogs #goodbooks #bloomscrolling #walkablecities

With care,
Liz (& Jayber!)

@lizardmcguire Welcome Jayber and Liz, I'm glad you're here You look just like my gorgeous Cocoa who's left us now. Tip: If you find a post you like, favorite (star) it and if you really like it, hit the double arrows to the left of the star and boost it.

@lizardmcguire You got me with #bloomscrolling. You landed right in my feed. Here's some osteospermum at my place in South Australia.
Suggested follow: @NorcalGma2 posts about her dog ( labrador?) Summer and Summer's important role in the family. Lots of flowers, too, and home baked goodies!

@lizardmcguire Welcome here! Definitely helps to follow some key hashtags, like #DogsOfFediverse #bloomscrolling #lichensubscribe and check out @FediTips for answers to questions. Anyone who seems interesting is worth a follow! @catsalad is fun for a steady supply of silliness.

@lizardmcguire @inquiline I’ve been really appreciating #ClimateDiary. Sending a wave from the east coast of Australia and life with Mel, an older rescue: back end kelpie, snack end labrador.
