Hello all

@alsvha
Hello, welcome!! I wish you lots of luck on your journeys. There sure are quite a handful of people on this server that have made me see things through different and interesting new perspectives!

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@BrambleBearSnoring Hi, and thanks. Currently I'm thinking of taking up drawing, so have purchased some supplied and a few intro books just to see. Was also thinking of seeing if I could get into some writing, as an outlet for a very active inner monologue. Looking forward to exploring these alternate perspectives of other people as inspiration

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@punktrock thank you for the welcome

@alsvha Hello and welcome! ️

@Radaghaz Thank you so much.

Hi and welcome!

Mastodon organizes around hashtags, so play with those, follow ones that have posts that appeal to you, and have fun.

Try out #ScribesAndMakers for a start, follow often, weed out later.

Hope you'll find your tribe!

#Welcome @alsvha! Agree with @Firlefanz; follow early and often. Unfollow/mute/block/filter as needed to curate your feed. You're in charge here, not some opaque algorithm, but of course that also means that you need to look around for things you want in your feed to get started.

You might well be able to find locals in #DanmarkSkifter. The "local" feed is also a decent place to start for inspiration. Check the profiles of people you see posting interesting stuff for more people and hashtags.

@alsvha Welcome from Canada, there, eh? Please feel free to let loose with the Danish, too — you never know whose Duolingo needs the practice…

@alsvha welcome!

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@GrumpusNation Thank you and we will see.... If nothing else I can pretend to be translating

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@mkj @Firlefanz thanks for heads up

[grumpusnation@mastodon.social]

@alsvha Tak!

@alsvha @GrumpusNation Hello from an actual translator and neighbour(ish - Blekinge, which is at least in roughly the same part of the globe).

[t3rcermillenium@mastodon.social]

@alsvha I haven’t quite burned out but for the past few years, have been looking for more meaning in life, especially after nearly 40 years in tech.

I found some podcasts to be quite enlightening, especially those outlining the lives of people not involved in the fast paced life of tech and software development.

For example: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/sunday-miscellany/ or https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-dublin-review-podcast/

Your mileage may vary, as they say.

Stay safe. Stay positive.

@alsvha I'd love to hear this new voice do you play any instruments?

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@MamaLake thank you , and not really. I know a bit of piano but never got good enough to be able to read notes on the fly, so I used to transcribe them and memorized the few tunes. I did try to get back into it done years back, maybe worth exploring.
What about you? Musical expertises? I've always admired people with that talent, envious even.

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@t3rcermillenium thanks. I'm not really a podcast person. Prefer music when listening I don't know why. How did you get into the podcasts? By accident or recommended?

[mamalake@beige.party]

@alsvha it's good to tinker around and find something you wanna keep practicing. My mom is a piano teacher, so I gre up playing and can read music, but mostly I focus on vocals and songwriting.

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@MamaLake Nice. Songwriting is an impressive talent. So much room for expressing.

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@janeishly @GrumpusNation Hello to you too, and yes. That's practically the neighborhood, especially globally speaking.
