How to avoid drama on the fediverse (part 2):
Stop and think before you reply:
- Does this conversation benefit from my input?
- Am I the best person to speak on this topic?
- Do I have a full understanding of what's being said?
- Is that *really* what's being said right now?
- Do I know and/or understand where the OP is coming from?
If you answer "no" to any of these questions, shhhh.

I ran out of space for searchable hashtags in my previous post 😂 trying it this way.

Random question, hoping for interaction ☺️
Do any of you have specific dreams (nightmares) when they are extra stressed.
Due to some life crap combining at the moment I am quite stressed. And I’ve noticed that my reoccurring nightmare always is the same: “I’m back to being a first timer high school student- 12/13. And I have to navigate all these classrooms and new schedules in this humongous building. New teachers, tall older kids. The room numbers are always in the hundreds, I’m always late”
To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add #introductions to the post.

Currently owned by an opinionated #Maincoon cross #cat and 50 guppies, but dream of my own #zoo. I’m a fulltime multidisciplinary #artist, #sculpture, #PaintingAcrylics. Hungry for new #factoids; perpetually curious. Hoarder of #houseplants and #feathers and #DeadThings. I read all sorts, news hoover. I’m Dutch but live in the U.K. #Manchester area. Don’t talk to me about #Brexit unless you want to discuss #Brexodus #rejoin or #revoke50 or #inlimbo. Many more sides to me: just ask
Ah, so you can’t edit toots either 🙊
Better pay more attention then!

Sharing an oldy sculpture of mine. Alas the title temporarily escapes me. Something like “invading&escaping”.

Holy moly. I thought this platform was supposed to be the anti nazi opponent? Within 2 hours of signing up- 4 clicks into a #- I’m confronted with an extreme vocal white supremacy tooter. A barrage of anti otherist-whites are under attack- type toots. This is just part of one example. Frankly I’m shocked.
What is the mastodon etiquette of what is/isn’t allowed? What sort of things warrent reporting? I see the report option is there, but I don’t want to faux par on my first day here.
If you want to read about anything interesting this weekend, then please let it be the concept of the Water Footprint. What is it? Read it on the website of the Water Footprint Network: https://waterfootprint.org/en/water-footprint/what-is-water-footprint/
Arjen was an amazing man, with whom you could have incredibly energetic and joyful conversations. He was somehow everything in one person. The water professor, the activist, the organiser, the teacher, the inspiration and the action.

@Ilsa likewise! Holy moly even finding how to reply here is tricky. Thank you for the encouragement. Feel like I’m on ice skates 😂 (for now I’m only dipping my toes in-and still tweeting as well. Lets see how long that lasts )
