FUN FACTS

There are only so many times you can make a #Mastodon #introduction, so I've had an idea for old newbies like me to post a few #FunFacts about themselves

Me first! 😀

- I'm an British expat who lives in the Polish city of Wrocław (pronounced WROT-swav) – famous for its dwarves! 🧙‍♀️🏬🧙‍♂️

- I'm allergic to cats 🐈‍⬛

- I own a cat 😏🐈

- I cannot stand rhubarb! 😵‍💫

- I can bend the tops of my thumbs behind my index fingers 😱

- I hold my pen like most people hold chopsticks 🥢

Now toot yours! 🙂

A difficult day in a number of ways so I’m curled up in the corner of my favourite place, by the fire with a huge mug of tea and a book. ❤️
The end of the beginning or the start of the end🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I chase words relentlessly
Like the moth lost in the light
a fluorescent obsession
Never finding the grandeur
beyond paper-thin glass walls
For a moment you see God
yet it was nothing at all
A reflection of failure
you will repeat it again
Every time you pick up the pen
until the night...
you find a pathway to the moon

Sky Rat

City streets echo
a plague of pigeons cooing call
Perched intently above us all,
White stained walls, art déco
Little eyes waiting for crumbs to fall
A fight of melancholic grey
shall sweep those crumbs away
masters of the city day
Coo cooing cliche
the dingy city way

Giving it a go here! I hope to find my #TwitterConnections and old and new friends in the #writingcommunity 😊
The house is nice in many ways, not nice in others. But it will be ours soon and perfect
Without any binding commitments to rapidly and immediately reduce greenhouse gases, the world stands no chance to deliver on the 1,5°C limit, and by doing so minimising risks of uprooting the life supporting systems we all depend on and endangering countless human lives. #COP27
My favorite thing about Mastodon so far is that all of a sudden I have posts about history, archaeology, astrophysics etc in my timeline because even though I follow mostly the same people here as tweeter everyone branched out once they got here and started boosting cool people they ran into here.
It’s good to see engagement and use growing here. It would be healthy to have a social platform free of the billionaire oligopoly and the corporate ad folks, don’t you think?
