Back in the old days.... on Twitter, I'd always love joining in the chat about the Apprentice...

Where are the Apprentice fans at then?

This is one of the people I miss from Twitter. Has she emigrated to Mastodon?

Yes, she has!
@doctoroxford

A warm welcome to you Rachel! 🥰
I do hope you settle on Masto. You have always been an inspiration to me. Thank you.

@nedhamson
Thank you for adding a picture showing that the journalist is BLACK. Whole articles have been written about this incident without mentioning that important fact.

@AbandonedAmerica I know you don't like commercializing your work (I'm on the same boat with my own projects) - so I'll do it for you.

@AbandonedAmerica has a Patreon and a merch store. Both links are in the Bio/About sections.

One in ten people in US have no close friends. The share who have no close friends rose from 3% in 1991 to 12% in 2021. The share who have 10 or more close friends has also fallen from 33% to 13%.

Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, TX. She is the 1st African Am/Native Am aviator to receive a pilot's license. https://tinyl.io/7dok

She attended flight school in France & thrilled fans in the States while standing up to segregation.

Coleman inspired generations of African American aviators, incl. Tuskegee Airmen.

In 1992, Astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison carried Coleman’s picture with her on her first mission in the Space Shuttle Endeavor.

Let's do this! #introduction!

I'm Staren, I'm 37, I'm trans, I've known that last one for a year and a half, I'm still learning a lot about myself!

I like coding but I've been too much of an ADHD disaster to get much done. I hope to make videogames one day!

I like online RP (MU*s), tabletop RPGs, anime, genderbending stories, speculative fiction, videogames, programming, game design, ethics, genderbending fiction, mecha, lewd art and manga and sometimes words, did you know capitalism and bad people in power are the root of all society's ills, science, I have a cat, did I mention I like gender-bending fiction

Even before 𝘐 identified as trans, I thought trans coders/hackers were the coolest people on bird site; this community sounds like a cool, comfy place to make one of my new homes on Mastodon.

I'm gonna take a look around, I look forward to hanging out with you all!

So hey if you're reading this help a neurodiverse trans girl out, I'm stuck living with and working for my Dad who doesn't understand ADHD, and as a duck who struggles to navigate the strange human maze of "find an employer and get paid enough to live independently" I have basically no hope of ever getting out of this situation.

If you need a programmer who can solve problems put in front of her and optimize those solutions, but who struggles to be her own project manager and so can't be a one-woman indie developer team, and you have money to pay such a person for programming and optimization, please please please reach out to me.

I'm not actually a duck, that was a metaphor, I won't peck or bite, I promise!

Oh, #Mastodon die 4.000 Euro-Frage bei Wer wird Millionär! 😁 #WWM

Thinking more people are going to engage with you on mainstream social media “because everyone’s there” is like thinking people at a stadium concert are there to listen to you. It‘s only true if you’re one of the ones on stage. Not so much when you’re huddled in the nosebleeds.

Forget the numbers. Forget about “going viral” (leave it to the psychopaths in Silicon Valley to make virus-like behaviour aspirational). Embrace the joy of interacting with one another on a human scale.
