I just really want to thank everyone again who answered or boosted or liked my post the other day; Mastodon is a much better place than I was giving it credit for, and I'm happy to be here and to be in such great company. All y'all who gave advice on how to find my people were so generous with your time and knowledge, it really reminded me that not everywhere on the Internet is a cesspool. Thanks for being you! And I have no idea how to tag this, lol. #thankyou#newfriends#learning
Today I am going to become a fully functional adult who cheerfully accomplishes everything on her to-do list and is not at all cranky and overtired by the end of the day. Yep. Just as soon as my Supervisors let me.
Note to self: next time you trap a couple of pregnant stray cats, try to get some in different colors. Voids are lovely but hard to photograph. Also - be meaner to them so they'll actually want to leave after you've given them eight to ten weeks of indoor maternity care, and gotten them spayed. #CatsOfMastodon#kittensofmastodon
Oh my goodness! I took one of the cats to the vet and came home to a million new friends (and some old ones I didn't know were here)! Thank you everyone for your boosts, follows, and especially for your time and advice!
Really, really, really still trying to find My People here on Mastodon. Am I on the wrong server or something? I'm a self-employed #artist / #maker / #writer ... I make #ceramics ( #pottery )... dye #yarn ... #knit ... read #sciencefiction ... have two #dogs and eleven #cats ... am a recent #widow who loves to talk about what a wild ride #grief is ... and I'm a #Floridian scared shitless for my #BiPOC and #lgbtqia friends and family. Is that enough tags? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
@markusl Thank you so much. I appreciate this; I'm already feeling more connection in the last few hours than I have since I joined! And I've learned a lot that I didn't really know, about how it works here.
@JesseF8693 I am still where I landed when I signed up originally; I saw that we could move but there were so many to choose from so I stayed here, and tried to find people. But I've found more people I have things in common with in the last couple hours than since I joined, so I'm much happier and figuring things out now!
@AmiW I honestly wasn't sure what the etiquette was for following people, so I'd been scrolling through explore, trying to find hashtags... but my little pre-coffee scream into the void has been heard far and wide, and I'm finding there's so much more here than I thought!
I might be a little obsessed with making these berry baskets. I might have to make some in every single texture I have. I might have to get new textures so I can make more berry baskets. Uh, I mean, I can stop, any time! #ceramics#pottery#MakersGonnaMake
I fired my kiln... eleven? twelve times this month? Here are three of my favorite firings; a bisque and two glaze firings. Any other #makers/#artists out there? I'd love to see what you're working on. #ceramics#pottery
