Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.
If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.
Maybe I should do some #Introductions.
First of all, I am a settler in Mi'kmaki.
I am a mathematician who teaches university #math (calculus, geometry, abstract algebra, real analysis) and does research in math (fractals, geometry, connections to math). I'm interested in #highered and #matheducation. I teach at a small undergraduate university in a small town in a small province of Canada.
I'm a single mom of 3 kids (23, 13, and 5). My youngest child has been officially diagnosed as #autistic so I have been learning about #neurodivergency.
I am anti-fascist, anti-racist, inclusive feminist, still masking, vegetarian.
I sometimes rant about things that piss me off but I am often sharing little moments of joy and wonder and humour.
Math professor at StFX University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Obsessed with geometry/topology/fractals/connections to art. Single mom, music lover, book hoarder, feminist. Settler in Mi'kmaki. She/her.
