Mastodon Migration Jul 14, 2024

Hang in there. Don't jump to conclusions. We are still in the midst of a chaotic event, and it is impossible to predict the future. Each day will bring more perspective, but right now this maelstrom is beyond prognostication. Disregard all 'expert' forecasts. No one knows what is going to result from this situation.

Migrating to this Hoosier.social joint, so I should do an #Introduction. I’m a psychologist living in Indianapolis. I’m migrating here ‘cause I’m excited about the possibilities of a local server for community, conversation and (whispers) activism? TBH I’m allergic to activism, but I’m even more allergic to living in a sadocapitalist criminal oligarchy with notes of authoritarian collapse, so I’m gonna try to learn to love activism. Good to meet y’all on #HoosierMast !

I've moved to Hoosier Social, so I guess a new Introduction post is in order.

Hello! Eric here. I'm a 42 year old Software Engineer and Street Safety Activist living in Indianapolis with my husband of 16 years ("hubs") and our 3 cats: Ashes, Thor and Luci.

I'm a self-described "cyclist, gaymer, gardener, and geek".

I run "Indianapolis Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Crisis" (aka IndyPedCrisis). Link in my profile if you're interested in the topic.

Thanks everyone for the responses! I’m not sure how to end the poll early, but I took your advice and went with what I really wanted. The forms are filed, just waiting for them to schedule a date. Some day in the near future I will legally be Rosalie 🥰

Rose Jun 21, 2023

I'm filling out the paperwork for my name change. I had been planning on changing my first name to Rosalie but going by Rose day-to-day, which I've been doing for a while. Is it pretentious to change my legal name to something and go by a shortened form? Should I just change it to Rose and be done with it? #trans #transnames

It's fine, do what you want.

Definitely pretentious!

Just pick one!

Important context: This 2019 article suggests that @NatPoliceAssoc - those freaks who called subway strangler #DanielPenny a "Good Samaritan" this morning and then blocked everyone - is not as official as it sounds.

This Indianapolis charity says it helps police. Police chiefs say it's a scam.

An IndyStar investigation sheds new light on a fledgling organization fundraising off of a dystopian message that some police chiefs say is a scam.

Why ‘Anna Karenina’ Might Get An ‘F’ In Today’s Writing Classes

Anna Karenina is probably the most popular Russian novel in America. It has the best-known first line: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” And it’s the…
