@christhebarker he was terrifying but he was in good company e.g. the public information films of the 70s and 80s - the escalator one with the trapped wellington boots, the don’t mess with fireworks or you will go blind… and who can forget Hartley Hare = stuff of nightmares!

Like many people, over the last couple of days members of the Bylines Network have joined Mastodon, mostly on the mast.to server. We created links and invited people to join us, and thousands did!

It was exciting to set up camp here and the welcome has been great. But it didn't occur to us that this might overwhelm the server!

So thank you to @trumpet for keeping everything going! If anyone would like to buy our admin a coffee, visit their profile and click on the Ko-fi link.

North East Bylines is on Mastodon! Please follow us. More coming soon!

Hi! I’ve created this account on the advice of an author friend who is far more digitally savvy than me. Having migrated from the #WritingCommunity and #BookTwitter I am wondering whether the way to connect with other bookworms will be using the hashtag #BookStadon or #bookstodon or simply #Books ? Anyhoo, talk to me about writing, reading (especially historical fiction, literary fiction and thrillers), theatre, fusion cooking and general silliness.

It’s and I’m relatively new to Mastodon. Firstly, I’ve picked a very friendly server @QOTO - more by accident than anything else - and I think I’ve got the hang of it now!

Loads of things interest me (hashtags in first Toot and basic info. in Bio) - so (picture of yesterday’s elevenses included) = all things I love.

So, I don’t know if we do #FollowBackFriday on #Mastodon, but here goes. #FBPE #GTTO Here is a picture of Penguins as a bonus. #penguins

#FollowBackFriday you might get some #retrocomputing, you might get some #art or #photography, you might get #science, you might get some #politics and you might just get #StupidThingsThatMakeMeLaugh

The easiest way to improve ones #MentalHeath is to spend a few days away from Twatter interacting in a normal and polite way with intelligent and knowledgeable people. Happy to #FollowBackFriday about any subject matter. #climatecrises #EU #COP27 #impactmeasurement #UNSDGs

I will be recruiting doctoral students into my Science of #Learning and #Metacognition Lab at #UTAustin for the next academic year! I accept students through the #EducationalPsychology department (not #psychology dept)

I study strategies that promote better long-term learning, and the metacognitive and motivational processes that support these strategies. I run a joint lab meeting with Dr. Katherine Muenks, who is an expert in #motivation.

Please share :)

I'm enjoying Mastodon a lot but I am also still on Twitter. Essentially, I am now on both the heroin AND the methadone.

If you've arrived from the Other Place, this is good tool to find people you followed over there who have moved over here.
I'm going to use it once a week to refresh and merge. It's a great help and makes this place feel like home already.

I am currently in the thick of and am thinking about buying a steampunk/mechanical or retro-mechanical keyboard that I can connect to my Mac (Bluetooth or wired - doesn’t matter) … because this is clearly vitally important 🤓
