@soapdog creative writing and sff:
Wandering.shop aims for the vibe of a coffee shop at a sff convention (currently requires an invite link to join)
tenforward.social is star trek themed, has a fair variety of general chatter and sff stuff (anyone can register but mods will need to approve your registration)
writeout.ink smaller & newer instance for creative writing (not sure what their registration policy is at the moment! But their admin account is @nerd who would know)

In addition to mastodon and its forks (glitch and hometown are the most prominent), pleroma & pixelfed ( https://pixelfed.org ) are the most well developed platforms I’m aware of that federate with mastodon. Write.as (blogging) has limited activity pub support. PeerTube (p2p video sharing) and Funkwhale (https://funkwhale.audio, music platform) have by my understanding implemented activitypub but due to the nature of the platforms did so in ways that have only partial compatibility with the microblogging side of fedi

I *just* noticed that the dogs name in Crack a Code changes between successes 😆 #FallenLondon

@June@kitty.town *waves*

There’s a @mecfs group, but it hasn’t seen a ton of use since the guppe server was rebooted

@pagrus that does not sound like it would result in a botulism situation, oxygen inhibits growth

@cassolotl@queer.party crosspost fail?

Prof just stopped mid-sentence, said “you’re taller than you look” and then continued on as if nothing had happened

Miss Truth has a solid opening credits sequence but looses points for the shakycam immediately after

@Rowyn @vicorva @welshpixie i’m account twins with V apparently — my .shop account is dated to Nov 14 2017!

There’s also an undertone where in my last paper I included some observations on how Besant uses Hinduism to give her arguments cultural legitimacy and he was like ‘you should drop everything else and focus on that’ which I did, technically, by writing a paper about how Besant consistently conflates Hindu Nationalism with Indian Nationalism and rejects all other religions as irrelevant or inherently foreign

Which is *probably* not what he meant by that lol

This is objectively a pretty good paper but ai have no idea if its what the professor is expecting from this assignment

Also it seems translators have already taken "foreignization" for a point slightly different than the one I'm trying to make here, so going to have to rethink that sentence

The number of language notes that this paper is getting....
