Hey everyone, I'm Ken, and this is my first post on Mastodon. I've been active on #pixelfed since summer 2025. I've quit using Meta's platforms and I'm happy being part of the fediverse.
My interests include #urbandesign #cityplanning #architecture #español #travel #language #photography #transit #streetphotography #publicart #spaceexploration #cats #gardens #minerals #sashimi #coffee #history #technology and I'm a #humanist.
Because mastodon is like a 99% male audience, I will say this: if you have an aging mother you are in relationship with and care about, do NOT make her go through medical stuff alone. I am skilled & mean enough to fight through medical stuff and even so you would not believe how bad it is. Just accept that you cannot imagine.
I talk to a lot of people's aging moms and they are abandoned & alone even in nice families. I don't care how awkward it is, you have to try to ask them about it.
Hello fediverse! I am finally getting around to doing an introduction post! I have been on this server since 2023, so feel free to click through to the Media tab on my profile to check out my interests.
My day job is publicly funded biomedical research. Otherwise, I am avidly pursuing outdoors activity such as hiking and fly fishing. In the cold dark months, I make due with fly tying and a couple of aquariums. In all seasons, I drink loose leaf tea and try to stay on top of python for scientific or otherwise high performance computing. In 2026, I am looking forward to getting my fitness journey back on track and getting back into the woods after some injuries.
Please give this introduction a boost!
Haven't recommended Mastodon Starter Packs for a while!
Accounts posting on #mountains, #hiking, #mountaineering, trail-running and the #outdoors in general.
No one should have to pay to fill out paperwork that the goverment says is legally required.
Especially if your taxes are simple (1 job, no kids), you can also file your taxes for free right through the IRS website or one of their free partners.
