I left KDP today, what a relief!
Hello @raine_clouds! I tried emailing you back but I received an error message.

I have had a completely unproductive morning so far. Executive Disfunction and burnout are both firing hard this week. (#autism #ADHD issue)

I just wanted to say that I have found scrolling through #mastodon for an hour is an excellent way to get over the issue though.

There are so many incredible artists, writers and creators on here and it is an inspiration to see what you are up to!

Thank you everyone for helping to get inspired and working on something!

Starting work on the sixth draft of this short story. Yay!
LANGUAGE: It’s enslaved persons, not “slaves”. We are people who were ENslaved. When you say “enslaved”, you make clear that someone else did this to us. When you say “slave” you speak the language and mindset of the people who did this to us. This is important. It is not semantics. #history #language #enslavedpeople #Black #Mastodon #words

Digital technology cannot and will never be able to emulate old photographic processes like the daguerreotype, tintype or collodion process. Reminigrams are just a way for me to allow my images to speak a unique language inspired by the one we all know.

The Reminigram - The Haiku Shack - Medium

On morning in 2015, one of my friends told me about a new app that allowed people to make their pictures look like daguerreotypes. When he showed me the images he had created with it, I was floored.

I'm noticing a lot of "I'm bored of Mastodon, I'm going back to #Twitter" posts.

In case they are genuine, here's what I've found works:

⚫ try to post content, not complaints. People want to engage with you, not your gripes

⚫ try to learn. If you're putting in an effort to be part of the community, the community will welcome you

⚫ Try to avoid posting links to tweets, definitely don't cross-post. People want Mastodon content

⚫ Reply! Reply! Reply! Everyone wants to know someone's reading and considering their content, even you

⚫ Don't lurk. Many of us check for a filled out profile, avatars, and posts, before we follow someone back

⚫ Chill. It's a big new world that doesn't serve everything up to you

⚫ Avoid the trap of rebuilding Twitter here

Feel free to link this post to people struggling with Mastodon. It's what I've found works, and may not work for everyone
