So I'm told that my current instance of #Mastodon is shutting down in December - which is totally understandable.

This brings up a question I'm sure others have faced - how to pick a new instance? Options include focusing on geography, institutional affiliation, professional interest, etc.

Young Morphosis and I visited the Lowe Art Museum this afternoon as part of a campus visit to the University of Miami. This piece, Sol LeWitt 's "Wall Drawing No. 245" proved much more thought provoking than I was expecting. #Art #SolLeWitt

I'm not sure whether I'll set up a dedicated soccer profile for myself - feedback on that would be welcome.

With the CONCACAF #GoldCup ongoing, I put together a quick visual summary of which countries have participated, and done well, in the tournament since it began in 1991.

Too bad the #USMNT lost in the semis on Wednesday.

Are there any learning resources / tutorials that you would recommend for #matplotlib beyond the official documentation?

Today's feeling of #gratitude is for people who take the time to bring together like-minded folks and build communities with them.

Is there a hashtag on this platform for sharing thoughts like "something that makes me happy today" ?

I've been trying to cultivate a habit of identifying specific things for which I can be grateful, or things that make me smile, etc. I've felt myself using social media at times as a "what should I be angry about today", and I'm trying to resist that for myself.

Sigh... I used to sign up for new social networks pretty regularly, but have apparently gotten rusty.

Let's see how this goes...
