Well, here's my to Mastodon. I'm a literary fiction writer and occasional journalist, currently travelling in . Would love to connect with other writers, readers and anyone who cares about , and I'm up for some political and environmental discussions too. Happy to have found a corner of the web that feels something like what the web was meant to be.

@andrewblackman One thing I should have mentioned yesterday is there is a group @bookstodon where you will run across many readers and writers. You can follow the group (and assorted hashtags of your specific interests), and add the group to your bookish posts.

I believe there is at least one writers group out there too.

@neilhimself Hey Neil, big fan! Any possibility of the American Gods series returning? Why did it have so many issues with actors and show runners?

@Nadru I don't know why -- while it was being made in Canada I was in the UK working on Good Omens. I'd love to see it finish though.

Good to be cautious about that source (I am a fan of Wikipedia: it's just that one needs to know how to evaluate it, esp. when controversial subjects provoke editing wars). Anyway, I spend way too much time reading about genetics, but that is a basically accurate characterization. A prominent interpretation is that, although both males and females came to Europe, male intermarriage with local females created the genetic profile. Main point here, tho, is Mideast ancestry

@drmikeh49@mastodon.social avatar

@CitizenWald @Podophyllum @histodons though I will note a trend in recent years that when I do refer to the genetic data disproving the Khazar myth, the reply is along the lines of “so now you’re validating Hitler by using race science, huh?”

A post from February:
Charles Henry Turner was a pioneer in entomology - and he couldn't get a job in higher ed, so he taught high school biology.

"Across his distinguished 33-year career, Turner authored 71 papers and was the first African American to have his research published in the prestigious journal Science."

His simple but elegant experiments in public parks revolutionized understanding of bees.

I love this study. It emphasizes how vital written communication is to autistic people. (If your business or service requires a phone call or an in-person interaction, it's not accessible to us.)

Also, it's the kind of research we need more of: not about how to "fix" us, but about what we want, and who we are. There are still people out there who think that we can't even have our own opinions, that we're just parroting what we've been told. There are still people out there who believe autism is a learning disability or a disease!

@elonjet Berlin & Brandenburg are mutually exclusive, so "Berlin, Brandenburg, DE" doesn't exist. "Berlin Brandenburg" is the name of the airport, located in the state of Brandenburg, just outside of Berlin.

I usually have one writing book in my reading rotation. They vary based on what I need & the state of my writing. My reaction to Pressfield's The War of Art is always the most telling.

As a freelance writer pre-grad school, it resonated deeply. I needed that "get over yourself & get to work" message.

But during other periods, I'm really turned off by it. That usually means I need to slow down, think through tough ideas, and/or seek out guidance.

writingmonicker OP ,
@writingmonicker@mstdn.social avatar

Currently I'm re-reading Howard Becker's Writing for Social Scientists.

The "Terrorized by the Literature" chapter is a little too spot on. And the Risk chapter (Pamela Richards) hits a lot harder than it did my first year of grad school.
