Hi hello, I'm Bridget from Los Angeles! At 27, I'm taking my first steps on Mastodon.
I recently quit my desk job to reimagine my life outside of corporate America. As such, I've got spare time to reimagine the internet alongside you fine #forkiverse folk. No spare money though. Womp.
I'm a writer (or will be once the burnout subsides), interested in the brain, identity, culture and empathy.
Hobby harpist+violinist. Always down some research rabbit hole. Occasionally funny! #introduction

Welcome! By the way, I don’t think you have to say “aspiring writer” in your bio. Just write and call yourself a writer—no one can stop you. If you feel like you need permission (which you don’t), you can have mine. -

@Ladybug Welcome! I grew up playing the violin and love the harp. Hope you decide share some of your hobby with us here.

@Ladybug I love how you can tell we're true Angelenos because we're meeting for the first time and talking about rain from two weeks ago lmao

Welcome!
While I’m not a writer, there seems to be a significant community of writers (and readers) here on Mastodon.
You may be able to find some you’d like to follow through the curated lists at the unofficial @FediFollows. Also, wandering.shop is an instance with members who are writers.
@FediTips has guidance to help you get started.

@Ladybug welcome! What genres of writing are you into?
@alexhaist Thank you! Lately I've been reading a lot of personal/literary essays, sci-fi and fiction (usually with a philosophical/political/historical bend, but admittedly the Throne of Glass series got me back into reading haha). The book I can't get off my mind right now is Playground by Richard Powers. How about you? Any recs?

@PermaSolarPotter Aah hello fellow violinist! I played from grades 5 through 9 but regrettably quit to try other hobbies. I picked it back up last year, nearly a decade later. It's amazing how much muscle memory sticks around, and I'm having a lot of jamming with friends and learning celtic reels. Maybe I will share something eventually! You should too

If you feel like you need permission (which you don’t), you can have mine.@mcmullin You know, I appreciate that! I will change it. I was a copywriter at my last job, so it's not like I've never written. And thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome to the fediverse, @Ladybug!
I, too, am unencumbered by corporate America these days - and I'm also writing. I'm just a few months into #nomad life, and I think I finally get to re-imagine reality and just go write in the coming weeks.
I hope you've already been invited to our weekly worship opportunities, such as #caturday and #SilentSunday.
@unicorn Amazing, a fellow job off-roader. Nice to meet you! Do you publish your writing anywhere?

@Ladybug love this into - nice to meet you. I'm a former orchestral musician (French Horn) turned software engineer, in San Francisco... now is always the time to explore something more fulfilling, and hopefully good for society as well!
@axlerosenfeld Nice to meet you, too! I've always admired (envied, really) the willpower it takes to become a proper orchestral musician. I never could stick to a practice routine. Maybe in the next life! I bet that capacity for focus serves you well as a software engineer. Would love to hear what that career pivot was like!
-
@Ladybug all sounds good to me
@nigelharpur Nice to meet you! I stalked your profile and now have Carnival for Little Creatures playing in the background. What a vibe

Welcome, Ladybug. You're about the same age as my twin daughters. They have shown zero interest in coming here.
I am happy to see people from your generation on Mastodon. I think this place is the future.My favorite fedi-tip, if you aren't aware, is that you can follow hashtags as well as accounts.
@killick Thank you! I'd like to think if I had a twin I wouldn't need social media at all haha. Sometimes I swear my mom and her twin communicate telepathically...
Appreciate the hashtag tip!
