@Rloff Thank you! Maybe markets have changed, but the unknown looks like the unknown no matter when/where/what. I admire people like you and your husband a lot! Open to advice and lessons-learned, if you have any to share

@lety Until we have another noteworthy earthquake, I won't talk about anything else lol. That inversion fog made my cat sneeze for a week!!

@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!

@nigelharpur Nice to meet you! I stalked your profile and now have Carnival for Little Creatures playing in the background. What a vibe

@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!

@unicorn Amazing, a fellow job off-roader. Nice to meet you! Do you publish your writing anywhere?

@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.

@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

@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?

@lety Ayo! Crazy rain over the holidays, right?

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
