Hello there! My name is Grey and I am currently studying accountancy. I love watching #Anime 📺, listening to music 🎶, and spending time with cats🐱. Looking forward to making new friends! #Introduction#introductionpost
Just noticed that my introduction post has slithered off the site somewhere. Might as well make a new one.
I'm Cait, late 50s, GenX, transitioned at 26 in the early 90s. I was a self-employed translator of French, German, and Russian to English for 23 years. I am comfortable conversing in any of those languages, or Spanish as well, and Japanese to a less comfortable extent.
I post a lot about trans stuff, but also other things. The trans stuff is because as a too-rare trans senpai, it's been made clear to me that I've got a solemn responsibility to my kouhai.
To get the stereotypes out of the way: no, I was never an egg, always knew, dressed as myself all the time growing up. I fit the classic narrative of the trans person, because that was the only way to access trans healthcare in those days, was to fit the narrative. The ways in which I didn't, I faked. Remember: gatekeeping is just cookie-cutting applied to people. It is wrong and unnecessary.
I believe in radical bodily autonomy, prison and police abolition, Marxist notions of mutual aid, and anti-racism.
I voluntarily cede my passing privilege to live as an out and public trans person in my community, so that people know that we live among them, and that we're just ordinary, green-haired, tattooed, anime-loving, and weed-smoking senior citizens like anyone else.
These days, I do activism as my main keep-me-occupied thing, as I have retired perforce from translation due to disability. I use a cane in everyday life for mobility.
I love football*, Tottenham, Jamaican music, having ADHD, and being part of this amazing Fedi trans community.
I live in the colonial power known as Canada, on stolen land.
As an introduction, Hi my name is Ashley and I am an artist and photographer!🌟 I've always been a creative person and drawing and making art and taking pictures is basically my life and what I want to continue centering my life around. It brings me joy and comfort and has always been the most consistent thing in my life. I've been making stuff ever since I was little and despite not being good at any of the 'conventional stuff' and school pushing that that wasn't okay, Art is always something I've always known I can do and am good at ♡ My dream and goal is to get my work out there and have it bring joy, inspiration, a new perspective, show the beauty in things and what would really make me happy is if it makes people feel seen and feel less alone and feel a sense of community ❤ My goal is also to be able to support myself with my art. It brings me so much joy and has gotten me through many tough times and whenever I'm not creating I don't feel like I'm truly living and being my truest self, this got kinda long but I'm excited to see how this goes and be able to share my work in an environment that gives artists and their work a chance and doesn't make me anxious every time I post cough cough instagram and be able to connect with others and overall have a good time!🌟 #introductionpost#introduction#artist#photography#artistsonmastodon#photographersonmastodon#creative
I was previously @princesskyne but decided to move over here in accordance with yet another egg hatch haha
Call me Kyne or Moth either is fine. Pronouns and the like are in my bio.
I'm a huge geeky cub who's been looking to buy myself a pup hood but can't currently afford it :4bear_cry:
I will be posting NSFW stuff on a semi-regular basis and will do my best to add alt text ofc <3
I might also post struggle stuff. I do struggle with depression so you might see some venty stuff here and there. In those times, give me some kind words and support. They really do help <3
Can't wait to interact with y'all and have a wonderful day!! :4bear_grin:
#introductionpost been on this since last Fall but hadn’t yet done an intro, so… Hi, I’m Jean. I teach at a College (in Media Studies), earned a PhD in 2018 (on locative media), and I write scholarly stuff occasionally. I also produce music (links in bio, ranging from darkwave/synthpop to electro-acoustic to folk/Canadiana). Yup I’m Canadian (longtime Vancouver resident). Vegan too. I miss what Twitter was, or most of it anyway. But a federated web makes more sense than a corporate one, so.
Time for an #introduction I suppose :). I'm still figuring out what I will toot about since I'm not that active on social media in general but I'll give it a go here. Anyway, I live with my long term gf and 3 #cats so you can expect a lot of cat pics :). I like to read a lot, I've started learning to play #guitar last year, #photography, #mentalhealth, #introvert ...
Professionally, I work as an engineering manager working with #cpp .
BTW I use #opensuse . #introductions#introductionpost
I also like to read and write stories and poems. I have a page on Facebook called Art is Air where I post most of my works. I also accept writing commissions when I can.
Started out as a cross stitcher of video games and pop culture, more recently moved into just general gaming for my online presence but I do stitch from time to time. I have #Ukrainian heritage where I learned to cross stitch.
Also sometimes stream a variety of games on twitch.
My interests include working with all things fiber, from processing local raw wool sustainably at Ethical Yarn Community to #spinning / #handspinning on my Ashford Joy 2 to #knitting#crochet#NeedleFelting and soon embarking on rigid heddle #weaving and maybeeee natural dyeing
Pls also meet my #cat Norman who models my projects
An #introductionpost I'm a GenX Calgarian from Alberta, Canada who's proud of her city & country but is currently quite quite unhappy with her province. I'll be sharing photos & my thoughts on here because I don't have people to share it with in real life. If you care to follow, thank you & expect a weird ride. I had another account under my artist name but I decided to delete it when the UCP won the election, not wanting to be another angry voice but I couldn't stay away so I rebuild.

Hello! I’m new this little corner of the universe. Actually, it’s fediverse, isnt it? I’ll get the hang of it. Like many, I’m checking things out in light of what’s going on at a certain bird site, & I gather that an #introductionpost is a good way to get started. So, who am I? Well, most importantly, I’m a #husband and a #parent. Otherwise, my interests include #episcopalchurch#urbanplanning#environment#climatecrisis#tech#apple among many, many others. 500 characters isn’t much after all!
Hi Mastodon! My name is Kennedy Sessions and I am a Metro Reporter for @Chron. I cover all things #Houston and #Texas including #Transportation, #Politics, and interesting things happening around town. In my free time, I like to hang out with my friends and family, travel as much as I can, and read my worries away. #introduction#introductionpost
Welcome to @Mastodon. Here’s a belated intro. I’m a professor at Syracuse University. I am a geographer that studies (and critiques) the deportation pipeline, policing, and the law. I use theoretical, qualitative, and quantitative methods, so lots of big data sets and lots of ethnography. I’ll post about that work here, and I’m in the news a bit. Born in Ohio, lived everywhere. I’m also a big traveler, reader, art fan, writer, multi-lingual, perpetually curious. I like it here. #introductionpost
