Hello, I'm new to Mastadon and looking to meet people interested in medieval Silk Road history, especially of women and non-western historical fiction.
To sort of give you an idea of the weird stuff I'm into, here's a post I did about stories written in the Medieval Silk Road that feature women and are available in English:

On this, anyone else into weird and obscure histories?

The Silk Road had men and women of all walks of life. It also was one of history’s most literate eras and places, prior to the modern age. One of the reasons that we know that is from the sto…Women Along the Silk Road

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

February 6th was chosen for "Matcha Day" as the date is a play on words...
When the numbers 2⃣ (February) and 6⃣ (6th) are put together they can be pronounced as 'Furo' (風炉).
🔥🍵Furo is portable stove used for tea ceremonies during the summer (from May-October).

Anyway, if you also want to be cool and help in archiving the US government, head on over to the Archive Team wiki at:
You'll need the technical ability to be able to install VirtualBox or Docker and run an appliance/container.
You can also help archive other things, not just the US gov. There's a lot of the web that's at risk.

Ira Glass on learning to create:
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

Last night – Wednesday night – was the first journey of European Sleeper’s new service from Brussels to Venice. Except it wasn’t because the Italians decided Tuesday that they sadly couldn’t let the train into Italy, without giving any reason. So it only travelled as far as Innsbruck. ÖBB agreed to take passengers onwards which likely will cost European Sleeper dearly.

stays free): telegraaf.nl/nieuws/2130911382…
Italië zit een nieuwe nachttrein door Nederland dwars. Woensdag vertrekt de nieuwe lijn van het Nederlandse European Sleeper vanuit Brussel naar Venetië, maar daags ervoor belden de Italianen dat er toch geen ruimte is. „Er kwam stoom uit onze oren.”onze correspondent (De Telegraaf)
