Hello

There is now a mastodon instance for linguists, philologists, and other language lovers: http://lingo.lol

Hey party people, welcome to the #Fediverse over from Twitter.

Remember: #Trans rights matter. TERFs can, and should, get yeeted into a hole.

Now I've got my bearings and Mastodon is letting me upload photos, I'm going to try my #introduction post again!

I'm Claire and I'm a UK-based freelance #science writer and communicator w/ a background in #biology, #evolution + #genetics. I write regularly for Mongabay, BBC Science Focus + more. My book, #BraveGreenWorld came out last year. I also host the #RobotTalk #podcast. I'm Interested in conservation, climate, sustainability, robots, evolution, animal behaviour, politics + more.

It is my lasting regret that I cannot speak Welsh. I learned it at school but forgot it all.

Hey Mastodon! Bare with me - I’m still working out how to use it - but think I’m gonna like it here!

To introduce myself... I'm Antoni, I'm in Denbighshire. I've worked on this project since 2014. It's not my job, but I do devote a lot of time to it (ask my family, they'll confirm that!)
If you have Belgian ancestors who were in north Wales 100+ years ago, I may know a little about them. Please ask! Or please tell me about them...

Brief #introduction - I’m a tenure-track scientist at the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research on Texel researching seawater chemistry, with a focus on the contemporary marine carbon cycle. I do this through a combination of oceanographic expeditions, lab work, theoretical studies and scientific software development (primarily) in Python

#introduction Hi I'm Baz, I'm a 20 year old trainee carpenter from Powys. I'm a Trojan Skinhead, meaning I am anti-racist, proudly working-class and enjoy music and clothing styles from the late 60s (Ska, Rocksteady, Ealry Reggae etc.). I'm passionate about deplatforming the violent and racist thugs posing as the representatives of our subculture. Beyond that some of my hobbies include cycling, hiking, reading, watching films and getting out on the lash with my mates. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ⚒️ 🏁 🇯🇲 🥾

#introduction

I am one of the migrating birds.

I am a long-time journalist. I created NPR's Planet Money, then was economics writer at The New York Times Magazine and then the New Yorker. I wrote a book, The Passion Economy.

I'm interested in journalism, democracy, the ancient Near East, Cheese (for realz!), and lots of other things.

I live in Vermont with my wife and kid.
