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?

Stories About Women from the Medieval Silk Road and Available in English

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…

Hi Mastodon. I'm Mick, a wildlife guide based in Granada region of #Spain. I'm looking forward to connect with fellow birders, botanists & entomologists throughout the Fediverse.

Regularly out in the countryside of Andalucia & further afield posting info & images about my adventures & encounters with the natural world.

Here's a photo of a close encounter with Iberian Lynx I took a few years ago.

Hi! I'm Danny Redwoods. I'm a kinky queer trans guy who makes porn. I'm into bdsm primarily, but my kinks run deep and wide and are always expanding.

Besides kinks, right now I'm into comedy (in all forms), horror/thriller, fashion/style, Hazbin Hotel, Cyberpunk 2077, youtube, Jerma985, weed, and the Real Housewives.

Hello Mastodonians!

Michael Freeman (he/him) here, a high school physics teacher and folk musician in Somerville, MA. I post mostly with the #ITeachPhysics community, so if you #ITeachPhysics too, I'd probably love to follow you, and we can all learn to #ITeachPhysics better!

I make physics interactives on Desmos as well as other resources, which you can find at afreeparticle.com

There is a nice link list on joinfediverse.wiki/Fediverse_w… for new users.

You might want to have a look at it or provide it to your friends (for picking an instance for example)...

#intro (1/n)

I've been working on computers for a long time, but art has been my passion for longer. I am #actuallyAutistic and I mean, it's pretty obvious if you interact with me ever. I like photography a lot, and will definitely be posting photos. I do some let's say Idiosyncratic visual art. I am very good at some kinds of vector graphics.

I am 1/4 of a tiny games studio Aldercone with @evel you should check it out! I do the programming.

#Intro 1/4

hellooo! I'm Evel, an #autistic and disabled #Indigenous Person of Color, and everything I do is through that lens. Been on this planet-ride round the sun for near 40 years. also i'm #dyslexic so typos incoming!

#art/#design
i'm a graphic designer who used to think they were an artist. i do most things in #inkscape and insist on calling gnu image manipulation program GNU Imp! all my arty work is done on linux.

sometimes i post #publicDomain things here -> freesvg.org/by/evel

(・ω・)ノ hello!

my name is Amy, & I am very new to mastodon. I joined @tech.lgbt because I’m a bisexual front-end developer, so it sounded apt hah

When I’m not breaking the front-end of websites and software, I like to draw comics, make zines, and wander around in nature.

Currently, I post comics on instagram: instagram.com/_aimaloo/

^ working on syndicating from my website, eventually.

Hmm, an #intro. I'm a farmer at birdsongorchards.com. We grow 200 varieties of fruit and we have a you-pick rose field. Come on by if you find yourself in the Monterey Bay area!

I also #design #software, most recently for sage.com.

I'm a longtime member of the lines/monome #music community and I'm a huge fan of the Disquiet Junto weekly provocations (though the results of any inspiration I might find are often kept private).

Trying to get better at #painting. Trying to get better at #drawing. Trying to get better at making the computer do these things too, sometimes with the help of some machine learning.

I'm trying to get better at being comfortable with ambiguity. Many things are neither good, bad, nor neutral. Stuff can be complex and multifaceted, containing multitudes.

Birdsong Orchards

Flowers, heirloom and rare fruits: apples, pears, peaches, plums, figs, persimmons, citrus, cherries, walnuts, sapote, feijoa.
