All right, I have to ask: those of you who managed to get verified by your MeFi profile, how did you do it?
I tried adding a link here, my username, even an <a rel="me" link in the profile text, but it stays unverified for me.
Frankly, it's a detail, I can very well live with that. But I'm curious to know what I may have missed...
Here are my own #MastodonProust answers, if you're curious:
1. panache
2. hate
3. shite! (from Ubu Roi)
4. unexplored valleys
5. intolerance, hypocrisy, cheating, cowardice
6. they're my friends!
7. the spirit of the woman in my life
8. the deep blue of the night, almost velvety-black, especially with the diamond pins of stars across it
9. the poppy, which dies when cut, and waterbears
10. "Cave et aude" ("Beware and dare" or "Pay attention and listen")
If you wish to complete your #Introduction, or if writing one from scratch intimidates you, you can try taking part in #MastodonProust.
In the spirit of Proust (with some revisions by Pivot):
1. Your favourite word
2. The word you despise the most
3. Your favourite swearword
4. What do you find attractive
5. What makes you angry
6. What do you like most in your friends
7. Which country would you like to explore or inhabit
8. Your favourite colour
9. The flower or animal you love
10. Your motto
Your answers?

👋 Hello, I'm Serge, I'm 🇨🇭 and here's my #Introduction. I currently live between Switzerland and Italy (yes, it's somewhat complicated...) and can communicate (and sometimes think) in 🇮🇹, 🇫🇷, 🇬🇧 & 🇩🇪.
I'm a scientific and technical journalist and a cordial communicator. I used to be a biologist, and before that a zoo keeper, and to this day I've kept a strong interest in natural sciences.
Nice to meet you! 🙂
