@KayOddone yep. A bit. I am a classroom teacher, not researcher but am deep into Connected Learning via National Writing Project and #clmooc (you know of it?). Glad to connect. (Duke our dog is lab/hound)

@tellio @Algot I was thinking the same thing (auto-translate function) as I observe the federated stream. Then I wondered, could I trust that kind of AI function? No longer know. Still, fascinating to watch the languages of the federated stream.

@katebowles @magenta Love that idea of "writing as art," Kate. I am appreciative of the brevity on Twitter -- it forces you to leave narrative gaps and be attentive to every single word -- and also of the extended length here.

My great-grandfather never tired of telling the story of the lost guitar. It had followed the family through the ages, packed up with love from the old country to the new. Strings snapped. Neck chipped. Holes repaired. But, oh, that sound. He'd close his eyes and recall the way notes floated on air when she played. I'd notice the tears and remain quiet, wondering where our family's muse had gone to, and how we might find it yet again. The lost guitar played songs for me, too. #smallstories

@tellio prob not. But the traveling of words from local to federated is interesting. That fedwiki graphic prob does not help conceptualize. Which is why a new visual is needed (says me to myself). But that was the first time I thought/grappled wit the whole federated concept. As you well remember ....

@tellio I am reminded of federated wiki. perhaps that experience helps me (us) to understanding the federated element of this space, too. Recently came back upon this illustration for fedwiki concept. I find myself wondering about a visual for Mastodon, too. https://mastodon.social/media/jaYL6SaB ZX8gInjjZXk

@Algot @lauraritchie @Tdorey @katebowles @taniasheko @tellio Good point. Dispersion. Still, I am curious about the notion of anchors in social spaces. Good reason to keep exploring and figuring out what I don't know and what I know I need to figure out.

@lauraritchie @Algot @Tdorey @katebowles @taniasheko I am still wondering a bit about Instances here, and how one forges a sort of identity in the space by where you set anchor. How easy is to migrate from one Instance to another? Anyone know? I'm slow-reading about Mastodon to get my head around it all. That, and I keep misspelling it with an "a" instead of an "o" right there smack dab in the middle.

@thor @Algot sort of like other kinds of writing and art ... audience changes emotional connection to 'work' (of course, some work pays the bills and keeps the lights on)

I don't know where the glass originally came from. I do know where it comes from. Somewhere, buried deep under our yard, there is a graveyard of glass shards. Each spring, the thaw brings piece to surface. Smooth. Sharp. Green. White. Clear. I catch sunlight glinting off the glass, and I worry when the kids run barefoot through the grass. Every year, I think: this will be it. No more glass. Each Spring, the Earth surprises me. More glass. More mystery. More sharp edges. #smallstories

We forget the maple tree branch mostly all fall, and even deep into winter. Only in spring does it come back into view. The leafed branch hangs down, reaching towards the ground on rainy days. We moved our garden for more sunlight. Sometimes, after a storm, I stand on my toes, grab the end of the branch, and spring it up like a slingshot, and feel its spit on my face. We'll get it cut down someday. Just not yet. For now, it's like an arbor umbrella, welcomed on hot sunny days. #smallstories

@taniasheko @Algot One thing I noticed: I started following same folks as on Twitter. Which seems counter to why I am here. I need a better strategy. I guess familiar is a starting point, though. Glad to have friendly faces in the mix, as always
