FYI for the new folks: hovering over an image you're about to upload gives you the option to do two really cool things:
◽ Crop - lets you choose where the center of the image thumbnail is (no more unintentional crotch shots on full-body pics!)
◽ Describe for the visually impaired - several mastodon users use screenreaders and describing your images really helps them out! @PleaseCaption is your friend 👍

The Mastodon bridge tool has got a facelift! https://bridge.joinmastodon.org/
You can sign in with Twitter and Mastodon to find Twitter friends in the fediverse. You can also send it to your Twitter friends, as it will show them their friends on Mastodon and point them to where they could make an account!
I doodled up a cute fishman for a friend since it's her birthday today. Also I guess counts for #mermay too.
turns out the 1 thing that can motivate me to do phone calls is the thought of deleting accounts
"There was a great war, the gods died, and the world ended."
"So what's this, a dream?"
"Of course not. It's the world. It's ended lots of times. And then it continues, with fewer gods, and more stories."
"That's not an end."
"It is to the gods."
