Apologies to everyone I'm about to refollow -- I'm shifting over to glammr.us ; merci in advance for patience.

I see it going to be one of those Sunday nights....

#GetReadyForAllTheThings

Is anyone else going to do #NaNaWriMo ? I have an idea that I want to work on and wouldn't mind having some team support.

PSA: The "verified" symbol you see on Twitter etc means absolutely nothing on Mastodon or the Fediverse. On here, symbols like  are just custom emoji that anyone can use and put after their name. Don't be fooled! 😁

There are ways to verify your identity on here, but the  symbol is not one of them.

The easiest way to verify your identity is if you have a website that people already know is yours. You can paste a special code into your website which will verify your address and it will turn green on your Mastodon profile (see here for instructions: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106274105538953001).

Alternatively, you can set up a server as a subdomain of your known website address. For example, the European union set up their own Mastodon server at https://social.network.europa.eu, and we know it really is the EU because the server address is part of the EU's well-known europa.eu domain.

You can (sort of) verify your identity on Mastodon if you own a website. 1. Go to Edit Profile > Appearance > Profile Metadata, add your website address (including https://) to the metadata section. 2. Copy the verification code into your website's code. (The verification code is next to the Metadata section) 3. Click "Save Changes" after you have done all of the above. Your website will then be listed on your profile with a green background and a tick next to it, proving you are the owner.

I need to finish editing a document because it's due tomorrow and I have 7 hours of emotional labor to perform tomorrow. Wheeeeeeeeeeee. Don't wanna. Fortunately there's a surprise Boswick.
the harassment instances such as poast, nicecrew, etc are currently going through the introductions hashtag to try and find any queer people they can find to harass, as well as spamming it with their own shit.

a lot of the harassment replies /untag/ the original poster so they might not realize those are replies are there but other people looking at the post will see them.

please defederate from any such instances to keep your users safe, they're very nasty.

In good news, my Honors Student working on #WomenLaborCOVID for her capstone this summer just got funding from our Chancellor's Undergraduate Research Award! So grateful to be able to pay her for her time and effort.
