I never actually made an #introduction on here, so here goes:
I'm a #nonbinary #guitar #teacher and #songwriter / #musician living in #Lexington #Kentucky. I also play #trumpet, other horns, #bass and #ukulele. Before I did this (and lost all faith in such things) I wanted to work in diplomacy, and that's left a lifelong love of #language learning, especially through #duolingo
Outside of work I love #TTRPG stuff, #Startrek, #biking, #Judaism, #vegan food, #homebrewing #beer and #martialarts
My #introduction post. I like a bit of everything and always appreciate learning something new. On the Fediverse since Nov 2022.
Highlights include:
#tea, #books, #languages (especially #italian and #japanese), #StarWars, #JamesBond, #IndianaJones, the film scores of #JohnWilliams, playing the #violin, #piano and #ukulele, looking at the fish/frogs in my #aquarium, #chocolate, #Chinese food, #pastries, #astrophysics, pro #EU, I like #CrossStitch, #crafting, #painting, and Jenkins the rabbit is the real star of the show.
C'est impro de 2019 avant le COVID, j'étais dans ma période Wing, je chante mieux que ça, mais je ne fais plus de musique, plus envie..#ukulele #chansonfrancaise #impro
Dammit. Looks like I missed my chance to put the ukulele away. I was too busy sharing photos. #CatsOfMastodon #TuxedoCats #Cats #Ukulele
New year, new #Intro: Oh hey, you found me. I'm Kerri. My bio says most of the important stuff, so here's a brief summary of what I tend to post about: #books, (love #SFF but have recently been spending more time with #HistFic), #Music, (I #Sing and play the #Ukulele among other things), #Sports, (Let's Go #Mets and #Islanders), #USPol, (unavoidably), and the occasional family or life thing. Oh, and I'm proudly #Blind and #Queer so there's plenty about that too. Feel free to follow and say hi.

Lyrics (🇺🇸 in video description):
Aus der großen weiten Welt
Kommt alles was man wissen muss
Zu mir und der Maschine
In meine vier Wände
Als Kind hatte ich eine Plastikpistole
Bald hab ich wieder eine
Weiß nicht was dann anders ist
Doch es geht mir besser
Vielleicht bin ich bald ein Partisan
Der seine kleine Welt befreit
Nur 10 Schuss sagen sie
Dürfte wohl reichen
I've just moved across to what is probably my natural home from tech.lgbt, so I guess it's a good idea to do another #introduction post.
I'm an aging (in my 50s) #mathematician who started coming out as #trans #nonbinary only a couple of years ago. Overall this has had massive positive effects on my life -- it's never too late. Sadly I'm a little fixated on being the teenage #goth #girl that I missed the first time around -- my 13yo is not impressed.
I also like to play #ukulele.
How's this for a go at a hashtag #introduction + #mograph I made in #aftereffects...

Live in #Southampton in the UK, born in #Ireland
I love all sorts of #music but (try to) make #Electronic #Electronica #Ambient #Experimental stuff with an #Orchestral edge.
Also been known to play the #ukulele
Like #Knitting, #Gardening #GrowingVegetables #Art and have made the occasional music #video for friends.
Green / left leaning politically
#LGBTQ+ ally and positively inclined towards difference, diversity, equality & inclusion.
Always learning.
#100daysofukulele2024 day 84(*)/100: I took on More Bad Times by The Presidents Of The United States. This is a really fun one — mostly grooving around on C/Csus4, occasionally swapping in an F or G. Oh, and a little waltz thrown in for kicks!
It does have a lot of words pretty fast, so it took me a few takes to get there! But it's a neat tune, fun to play, and a pretty positive message, I think. I'll link a chord chart in a reply here.

I’ve updated my bio, so it might be useful to introduce myself again here.
Based in Cambridge (UK), I am passionate about design, technology, their effects on our lives, photography and music.
I care about #Sustainability, #Accessibility, and curate the inspiration series Design, Digested.
Bilingual in Italian and English.
#introduction Hi! I'm Ciro (as you'd pronounce the number 0). I've been working as a #gamedev in #Britain since 2014, mostly #servers, builds and tools.
I was born and grew up in #venezuela
I like #musicproduction, dabble into #Ableton Live for making music, play the #guitar, #ukulele and #clarinet.
I'm @chiguire in most social networks. I keep a gamedev blog in Spanish which is the origin of my nickname. I post in both English and Spanish, and my personal website is fully bilingual. See you!
Time to re-up my intro post. Hi there Fedifolk, I'm Kerri. I mostly post about #books, #SFF, #AssistiveTechnology, my adventures learning the #Ukulele and whatever else strikes my fancy. (with 2024 on the horizon, expect some #USPol too.) Also love #Baseball, #Hockey, #Dogs, #MusicalTheatre, and #Advocacy among many other things. Oh, and I wrangle calendars and medical records for a living, but you won't hear much about that. Proudly #Blind and #Aroace. Nice to meet you.

With thanks to @cosullivan for the suggestion, here's my #introduction.
Living out my 2d (maybe 3d or 4th?) act in a wonderful little community, #phoenixville, PA, USA. Learning #music late in life.
Trying some #hashtags:
#music #openmic #openmicnight #piano #ukulele #bass #bassguitar #comicstrips #adventurestrips #localhistory #history #journaling #movies #oldmovies #mentalhealth #lgbtq #lgbtqrights #cycling #bikeracing #vinyl #recordcollecting
Re-doing my #introduction now since I'm trying to be here a bit more ...
G'day I'm Nick, from the NE suburbs of #Melbourne , Australia.
I work as an #opensource #developer (mostly #python) doing remote work for various clients, and I'm also interested in #retrocomputing or, as I like to call it, computers back when I was a kid.
I'm into #cycling (slowly) and working up to doing some #cycletouring miles around Victoria this summer, and eventually elsewhere in the world.
I'm into #music generally and I'm (also slowly) learning to play #ukulele and learning a bit of music theory along the way.
I'm also doing some set design & construction for a #musicaltheatre group my daughters & their friends all seem to be in!
I'll probably be posting about those things more than work, tbqh. Older stuff, mostly tech-related, is on my blog at https://nick.zoic.org/
I live/work in Aotearoa New Zealand, roughly at 43.5° latitude South and 172.6° longitude East. In Ōtautahi Christchurch, if lat/long don't tell you much.
I'm fond of #statistics, often in a #forestry context. I enjoy literature, #photography and music (#jazz in particular). I have a soft spot for #ukulele of the tenor low-G variety.
I like #writing fiction, way more than journal articles.
Just moved here from mastodon.social
#Introduction for a new server!
I'm Paul (he/him). I've lived in six countries but am now at home in Rotherhithe, London #SE16

I'll post some recent projects in this thread.
Hi! 👋
My name is Marga and I’m new on sunbeam.city, just moved here from mastodon.social, so it’s time for an #introduction. I’m interested in:
#solarpunk (don’t know a lot about it yet)
#gardening
#reading
#science
#ecology
#programming
#fieldhockey
#music
#ukulele
#knitting
#cats
#humans (but only if they’re nice)
Not necessarily in that order, and it’s probably also not a complete list.
Thanks to the sunbeam.city people for hosting my new account!☀️🏡
Hi!
Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.
I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.
I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.
Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.
My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.
It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.
Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.
Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.
Music-
I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.
A few faves-
#Motorhead
#HankWilliams
#CarolinaChocolateDrops
#Budgie
#JudasPriest
#JohnnyWinter
#BuddyGuy
#HotTuna
#WilliamElliotWhitmore
#JackBruce
Art-
#GustavKlimt
#JackKirby
#FrankFrazetta
#ErnstFuchs
#GilbertShelton
Philosophy:
#Plotinus
#HerbertSpencer (I know- cringe)
#MaxStirner
#Hegel
#Heraclitus
#Iamblichus
Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.
Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.
Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
Peace and Solidarity!

This may be premature, but I'm feeling compelled to post this #introduction. I'm Bob Merberg and am new to Mastodon. [Edit: It’s been about 8 months now. Still feel new 🫣]
I have varied interests. My prof'l background is as a recovering employee wellness manager. Now I'm self-employed, mostly creating #content. I'm a #writer at heart.
My social media and web posts tend to mostly be about #work life and #labor. I'm not into memes, but may post the occasional #caturday pic.
I'm a #ukulele upstart and enjoy lots of different kinds of #music.
