You can't write #Fediverse without #diverse.

Hey everybody, I'm in the process of starting the data collection part of my thesis on Why people are Joining Mastodon. I'm looking for people who would be interested in participating in an interview to share their experiences about their time on the platform. If you want to
participate or have any advice (which I really appreciate) please dm me. Thank you all very much!

doing research on language variation in cat-related digital spaces #meowlogism and #purrieties , mainly qualitative and exploratory, but now also opening up to quantitative methods. Learning #python now because I am into #DigitalHumanities and #OnlineDialectology

Oh, and I am a big #cat lover 😸

Do you remember how long it took you to learn to write when you were in school, and what that involved? Copying letters over and over and over while your hand and fingers strengthened and got used to the movements?

Drawing/painting/other-forms-of-crafting are no different. You're learning a new skill; give yourself space to grow and be patient while you learn. You might be bad at first but that's fine, you're allowed to be. Keep going. Practice is part of the process. 💪

I'm looking for projects/research that look at the the weight of data, how it manifests in huge data centres, and whether there are alternatives – lightweight/solar powered/deliberately small etc etc?

Our brains literally evolved to NOT pay attention to boring stuff

We are forced to do boring things because that keeps other folks wealthy

The reason why you want to do hobbies all day is that you were supposed to be an artisan

Artisans were once seen to be the clearest sign of civilisation, not a burden

We have enough food now that all humanity could master the lyre

But we have chosen coin

and coin does not sing

Is there something to replace Medium or WordPress in the fediverse?

Tell your young people not to give their spare energy to employed work. Their employers will take it if they give it but all that happens is the young folk burn out. Teach them “no” and “pay me”

Boost this if you like soup or
