Guess it's time for #introductions again:
Hi! My name is CJ, I'm a Canadian enby (they/he) that's lived in Ireland for the past 10+ years. Some things that interest me include but are not limited to:
- #writing and #reading too little;
- #gaming honestly way too much, including #WoW and #FFXIV;
- #lizards #birds and craptons of #fish
- that's pretty much it, I'm kind of boring af
Same @ on birdsite 💀
Why not right
"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

I'm laughing at the super chunky look of the new Firefox tabs, but honestly so far it feels really nice to use compared to Chrome

Good morning, friends. Let's all be kind today!
Honestly so proud that I just gritted my teeth and got my writing finished before four, instead of leaving it off for hours like I've been doing lately
Still confused by instances? I see it like this...
I'm an artist so I live on Artist Island. We just talk arty stuff here. There are lots of other islands around me, some big & some small, all doing different cool things. There's this big island called Social Island. Too busy for me, but I have friends there. I keep up to date with them by following them.
If I want to spend more time on other islands I need to get a passport to live there. It's a bit of a pain, but hey, that's how it works.
Alright -- two coffees necked, laptop fully charged (not that that matters much with a fizzling-out battery)...guess that means it's time to get my NaNo done for today.
The best thing about Mastodon right now is the incredibly indie slant to the creators who've migrated here. Queer folks, folks of color, and women creating and telling their own stories in a space unencumbered by industry gatekeeping sentiments? This is great.
And a few more pictures - these are technically Inktobers, and one of them was actually done in October! I crashed and burned with it pretty badly this year, but I had the... 'foresight'... to write the prompts on a page per day in my little marker sketchbook. So I'm still slowly picking away at them! I've done up to day 12 now, but these are the only ones I actually like.

Spent weeks agonising over which size binder to purchase (since I lost a bit of weight and my old one has long since stretched out)
...didn't think until now to just redo my measurements and compare to the old ones oops

Enbys of any height.

I know I just made this account afew days ago but I'm really fucking scared and desperate for a place to stay while I look for a job. I'm currently in Virginia but I can try to get most places in the US. Even if you can't directly help, please signal boost this.

I put these calls out every so often so here goes:
If you're working on an inclusive game (something with POC/LGBTQ/female characters/relevant themes) please reach out to me, I would love to hear about it!
I can't guarantee coverage and I'm generally very busy but I'm always down to hear about new, inclusive things :)
Oddly enough it was my difficulty with getting into NaNoWriMo this year that firmed my interest in actually creating and making books. Definitely writing them, but editing for others as well.
Would def be nice tbh
Hit 1901 just as my laptop died lmao whoops
One of those writing days where I feel I've cranked out a ton of words, and yet it's only been <200 and I want to cry
The CW feature will honestly always put Mastodon absolutely miles ahead of birdsite, jeez
