Once upon a time, I was a composer. Here is a violin solo I wrote when I was 18. It received a standing ovation when it was debuted. I won the Gulf Coast Outstanding Musician Award that year.

I stumbled on the list of journalists that's been circulating on Mastodon. I imported the accounts and spent a few hours cleaning up follows post-import (unfollowing accounts focusing on topics I have no interest in... like sports). I probably should have filtered it pre-import, but... 🤷‍♂️

Now my feed is rich. 😊

So, thanks @tchambers for compiling, maintaining, and sharing the list. And thanks to all the folks who shared it.
