I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

A walk to my favorite fairy ring looking for inspiration. I have written very little in the last few weeks. So many swirling ideas but struggling to find ways to get them on paper #writing #Shetland #fairy

#Museum30 Day 2 - ‘Who Am I?'
Well, instead of repeating my #introduction (see my pinned toots), I'd like to talk a bit about how I became a #herbarium #curator a the #NHMLondon.
I am 1st generation #academic. I went to a state school in East Berlin, and I grew up without access to a garden, real nature or a lot travel. Not really what you'd expect, right? However, I had an interest in #biology and #history (but also chemistry and astronomy). I am quite curious and I really like #diversity.

If you have issues with your Mastodon account and are on mastodon.social, take these steps:
1. Go to https://instances.social/ & do the wizard
2. Select any instance that pops up that looks nice to you
3. Create an account there
4. Set up an account alias by going to Settings -> Account -> Account Settings -> Moving from a different account
5. Move your account by going to https://mastodon.social/settings/migration

The #Fediverse is distributed, you don't need to be on the most popular instance to participate.

Hi all! Like any good zooarch, I’m interested to see what becomes of the Mastodon migration.

Quick #introduction : I’m an Australian archaeologist with a day job managing an #archaeology lab (currently on parental leave) and research interests in #zooarchaeology (mostly mammals and fish), #OpenScience and data sovereignty, pedagogy, and #scicomm

The last time that I discovered new music, I turned on the #French language #radio station. (One of the benefits of living in #Ottawa!) I fell in love with #LesCowboysFringants. They're popular in #FrenchCanada, but they don't get airplay on English stations. They reminded me of #BlueRodeo in a way, as well as a #Russian band called #Chaif. I don't speak French, but I enjoyed translated lyrics of some hit songs #LAmeriquePleure and #IciBas.

Music discovery is fun - don't limit yourself!

While playing around with some default apps that come with the #MetaQuest2 #VirtualReality headset, I watched a concert in VR. I discovered a fantastic rock band called #TheWarning. They're probably pretty well known now since I believe they opened for #TheFooFighters tour, but they were new to me. Three Mexican sisters who can really rock out. They've earned a fan!

And their concert was Halloween themed. They all had cool #DayOfTheDead style makeup.

Can I ask a favour?

I'm really grateful to be recommended as a follow, but can you also mention the website (https://fedi.tips) when you do so?

At the moment getting a lot of questions which are answered on the site, and it's difficult to keep up with every question. I'm happy to keep answering, but also afraid I'll miss someone's question.

If they know about the site from the beginning, they will have a chance of finding the answers themselves if I do miss their question.

Thanks 🙏
