It's #caturday so here is my napping fuzzbutt, Patches!

Thinking about Elon musk

We are close to finish moderation features.
Crash when visiting trends is fixed. We will also fix filters (our regex fails with whole word).

We will try to offer the new release tomorrow. #Fedilab

From the creator of Mastodon: “People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them.” That's a very generous and welcoming outlook! Makes me even happier to be here.

Some time many years past author John Scalzi ( @scalzi) encouraged his followers to adopt the #NewYearsResolution "I will 'like' the all the cat pictures in my social media scroll." It is the only new years resolution I ever kept the entire year, and a habit I continue to this day. Happy #Caturday everyone.

The community-building on this instance is so substantive, so palpable and exciting, that its clear my lurker birdsite persona is inappropriate. Let me fix that:

Hi I'm Chris (he/him/his). I'm a mid-career switcher, new to infosec.

My background is a bit different: pre-infosec I was a cultural anthropologist. My PhD research documented activism by internally displaced persons and victims of political violence in Peru. Love what I've learned for Net+ and Sec+. I hope to bring my social scientist mindset to this new passion and apply some critical thinking with socio-political asides.

I fell for Linux, hard -- Raspberry Pis were my portal. I'd like to be an open-source advocate and am hungry to learn more.

Non-infosec: I love backpacking and winter camping; I'm a recovering ultralighter and convert to hammocks. I watch too much British TV -- to an American it's so soothing. Happy with any #SciFi, mysteries, but good lit is really satisfying too. I read to the end.

Prior to coming over from the birdsite my feed was crammed with infosec folks, so I'm happy to be here. Thanks @hacks4pancakes, @gossithedog, @SwiftOnSecurity -- believe it or not you all are approachable cultural translators to those of us coming from far afield.

I hope to be on the infosec job market soon. Looking forward to when our paths cross!

#Introduction

twitter is marking links to twitter ↔ mastodon crossposter services as "potentially spammy or unsafe"

#Introduction: I'm a poet, academic, and editor. PhD in English #Literature and #BlackStudies from Yale, doing a postdoc there now, and am a senior editor at The Yale Review.

I research contemporary #poetry and #poetics (and pop music) by Black artists, with some sound studies, performance studies, cultural criticism, and #futurity/#futurism.

My poetry lately has been about #diaspora, #PuertoRico, sovereignty, culpability, and cats.

I've also done theater and some screenwriting.

Good Caturday Morning!
