You Are Made Of Starstuff @Altruest@mastodon.social

#introductions Hello new people! 👋🏾

I'm Altruest, a current student getting my PhD in Neuroscience. On Mastodon I have a wide variety of interests, and you can find me talking about books, music, science, podcasts, videogames, or just trying to bring the world some positivity! Mastodon has honestly changed the way I think about social media, I hope you get everything out of it that I have!

So my entire life I've been able to twist my tongue around 180°, but only to the left. Today I was sitting around and struggling to twist it the other way, then it suddenly clicked and now twisting it both ways is easy?????

Hello. I like it when people greet you at the beginning of their posts. It's like they're walking up to the Internet Podium and getting ready to give a speech.

Idk if anybody knows of Louie Zong or Brian David Gilbert, either way this song is super dope https://twitter.com/everydaylouie/status/1011711461385596928?s=19

Friend sold me an acoustic guitar he found in the trash for $20! It needs new strings, but it should be absolutely perfect for teaching myself how to play (or leaving it lying around for a year, who cares, it's 20 bucks)

That's reading for 24 hours out of 48 hours, by the way. Sounds like it'll do wonders for my mental health.
