Author-type person, mostly but not exclusively #Fantasy and #FantasyRomance. UK-based, #ActuallyAutistic, queer & disabled. I talk about books A LOT, bake cakes, stitch things and get too anxious about pretty much everything. Oh, and sometimes I actually do the writing.

Folks, please leave mastodon.online and mastodon.social. Those instances have atrocious moderation. More and more instances are defederating from them every day.

I know it's a pain to migrate to another server when you only just moved from the birdsite. But it will be worth it.

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

New Copy of Fediverse instances with moderators of color

This initially started out as a post but I am offline more than online, so cannot keep up this list. This is why anybody can edit the document. The original is hidden, but I'd encourage you all to make a wiki based on the below instances and information. Hosting your own wiki. For a fully mana...

Today's very important (and slightly grumpy) author thoughts:

If it's ow, cow, vow, how, then why is it show, low, row, mow? And don't get me started on bow or bow.

It's a miracle any of us learned to read.

(I may have had to rename a fictional town because there was no way anyone would pronounce it the way I wanted them to)

The first black child ever allowed to attend a white school is only 68 years old now.
White parents pulled their children from school. White teachers refused to teach her.
Ruby Bridges now works as an activist & public speaker
This wasn’t a million years ago. /1

One of my favourite queer romance authors is now on mastodon and I feel like the day is a little bit brighter ☀️

One less reason to have to sometimes venture back to the other place....

My cheap supermarket coat that has seen me through several winters has been slowly disintegrating for the last couple of years and has reached the point I really do need to replace it. And now I have seen the prices of non-supermarket winter coats, I have to say that Sam Vines knew what he was talking about with his Boots theory of economics. If you know you know.

An incomplete list of things I have done today while my open WIP taunts me in the background:

spent way too long updating my Inkarnate map for the project
reread the 4 chapters I'd drafted of a different WIP
scrolled Mastodon
poked at the shiny new idea I really shouldn't be focusing on right now
made and consumed many, many cups of tea

But amongst all that I did add another 47 words to it, so... a partial win?

When you make a self-deprecating joke about your totally well-adjusted coping mechanisms...

And then reread it a few minutes later and realise exactly how messed up you are.

Ouch.

Do you mind being added to lists?

Mainly looking for an idea of opinion splits on this but, fair warning - if you say you don't mind I might then add you to one!

Don't mind, add away

I want to organise my follows so I can scroll, say, book stuff or autism stuff without having to make my brain switch channels every few posts. I've seen suggestions it might upset people if they're added to a list without being asked beforehand? Any consensus on this? #FediTips #FediHelp

And if so, any tips for an #Anxious #ActuallyAutistic soul to do that without triggering social rejection related panic attacks?
