MA by way of CA, which I know is backwards. Once a literacy researcher (#scienceofreading #dyslexia) now I work directly with students (so career trajectory also backwards). 
Other interests include salvaging/creating #democracy, local #activism, smashing the patriarchy, #climatechange, dark humor, clever silliness, and watching way too much TV. 
Please send any good recipes, especially #vegetarian

Hi all! Thanks to some helpful Fediverse people (as always) I am moving servers to @Katma
I’m in the process of importing followers, etc, and will post a new intro and some old posts so you know it’s the real me 🙂
Please lmk if it seems like I’ve lost you in the move

And this vanishing admin thing is a major issue with coaxing people over here and making this a viable alternative. Though I am 100% sure this issue has been covered as nauseam. Assuming this all works, I’m still happier here, but not what I planned to do this morning. Fortunately it’s about a thousand degrees below zero out there, so I have some time ☕️

Help! Just found out my admin has disappeared and I think this server is going to be defederated. Anyone have a good, open server you like I can go to? Maybe with some moderators?

And any links to how-to guides for moving servers?

Yup. This counts as cold. Holy cow 🧊🧊🧊

I’m not one to demand content warnings but I’m wishing more of you would consider using one if you’re going to post descriptions of Tyre Nichols’s death.

Consider that there are many Black folks and PoC who are activated, triggered, and/or traumatized by these events and are trying to keep ourselves and our people safe. Safe from state-sanctioned harm and from the videos that document it.

If you need to watch the video or write detailed posts about it, please do so with care.

Just landed in Albuquerque and this guy was staring at me the entire flight and thought he was gonna murder me until I realized his sunglasses were on the back of his head.

I see reports of slowing growth on #Mastodon. Good. Don’t tell anyone else. Everyone here is awesome.

Except the artists. Tell them. And the scientists. And the musicians. Tell them too. And the chefs. And the space nerds. And the mountain climbers and surfers. And the farmers. Tell them. And the horticulturists. And the photographers. And the software developers. And the poets. And the astronauts. And the dancers. And..

Tell interesting people, the fediverse is where you want to be.

@gdeihl @chrisale A big problem is that people who have never taken trains/mass transit think that transitioning away from personal vehicles would be detrimental to their lifestyle. I'm not sure how to make it clearer to people--because it seems so obvious--the absolute luxury of not having to worry about traffic, road conditions, timetables (for frequent transit), car payments, etc and the benefit of eventually paying substantially less in taxes because our roads aren't taking such a beating.
BTW, is there some animal friendly way to play this? Like, a vegetarian option? Those sheep are cute 🐑

Tonight’s comedy: my oldest decided I need to restart gaming to stop obsessing over the news. He decided to start with a familiar classic that he could play with me and help out. Enter #Minecraft

It’s…not going well. I’ve tried to chop trees with an egg, failed at basic commands, fallen in pits, and drowned twice. Haven’t made it through a night. Apparently there’s a small group of his college peeps watching & laughing to tears. They’ll go out for the night soon so I can practice #determined
