@researchfairy Hi, hope you don't mind popping in here. Please could you recommend any instances similar to scholar.social? I'm looking for somewhere well moderated that I can use for my academic/student stuff? I miss seeing science and research on my local timeline.

Played in my first jazz jam last night at a swing dance event. Very different to folk sessions, firstly things aren't always in D or G major. Had to tune down a tone so I could use my sop sax friend's lead sheets which was exciting. Definitely way out of comfort zone. I enjoyed it though! 🎸🎷🎺

I enjoyed #Eurovision last night. Sad that Finland missed out coming second. Extremely suspicious of the result. My most surprising favourite was Slovenia, who I didn't expect to like as much as I did.

Ivory is still the nicer app but am student and not going to pay for that o.O as much as I would like to. Might also switch instances to koleltiva or fediscience since those are my areas irl.

I have switched from Ivory to Mammoth so I can now toot on the go for free. Powerful!

Started working on that essay about Richard Dawson and Medieval SF. Going to have a funny bit structurally because 2020 isn't really that. Maybe I can just talk about how good it is for a paragraph or how it has the same themes...

Today was a good day. I visited TWO different tunnels. One of them was very much a surprise.

The context for this toot is that I'm having holes put in my ears soon so I've been thinking about what I get out of it. (Saying I'm genus one to start; the main chute).

Nifty objects with genus 3: those watering cans with a hollow handle. Similarly; milk cartons that you've punched a hole in. Both can be plastically deformed into a tshirt. If there were some way to disallow trivially small holes you could make a fun superpower out of this.

Can also think about how they differ from poetry about science. Anyway, y'all should go listen to Richard Dawson's music. Absolute legend. Do his trilogy: Peasant, then 2020, then The Ruby Cord.

One reason I'm attracted to them is that they often do worldbuilding in really few words and its quite amazing. They also often distil some core sf-ional ideas that were more common in science romances of the early 20th cent. So that's fun to consider.

Just learnt about Edwin Morgan and his science fiction poems. I think one of this year's essays is going to be a piece about lyrical science fiction, so I get to talk about poems and filk/folk (Richard Dawson too).

Oop, hello there. How does this work? Toot?
