Figuring out Mastodon, I saw that it's a good practice to write an #introduction post. Here it goes.

I work for a small #nonprofit in Digital #Media located in the centre of the Netherlands. I work here for almost 10 years.

I spend my free time mostly studying. Currently, I'm finishing my Master's Degree (#Msc) in Industrial-Organisational #Psychology.

When I'm not working or studying, I like read, #craft, play #videogames or #tabletop games. The general geekery stuff... ;)

Jumping back in The Lord of the Rings Online with some of my friends. It's a ton of fun seeing them react to plot twists. #lotro #mmorpg

Just wondering: is there a way to link to a fediverse/mastodon account using html? Just like one would do for email. It would give one the option to follow the blog from their fediverse account using their standard app.

That way I could add a button next to the RSS way of subscribing to my blog for #fediverse peeps

Question: Can I mute certain tags/topics?

I'm glad there's a CW option on Mastodon. The news gave me a big uh-oh. I wanted to crawl under a stone waiting for the worst to pass, but so far, it's going pretty well. I hate political debate on the Internet. It almost never ends well.

After finishing the conditioner soap bar, I went back to using a vegan conditioner in a recycled plastic bottle. The bars are great, but if you have long hair like me, it's a pain to apply. I'm in the shower much longer wasting water, defeating the purpose of buying the bar in the first place. #happysoaps #conditionerbar #sustainability

My impressions after joining #Mastodon. 1. This is where all the nice people went who went extinct on Twitter 2. Love the decentralised nature. It feels like I have a safe space among likeminded people, but I'm not limited to that community, the #Fediverse is HUGE! 3. It feels more European than Twitter (may that's my instance?) 4. Good thing I speak/read a good bit of German, as I see a lot of German all of a sudden...

HelloFresh delivers my dinner boxes carbon-neutral so I don't have to go to four stores to buy everything. Also, because the ingredients are measured, I have almost no waste. They came today.

After stocking the fridge, I wanted to take the box to the recycling bin for paper. It was kind of heavy, and when I picked it up, I saw an annoyed, rudely awakened cat staring at me. Oh Geez, Spock!

Talking about #Headspace, did you know that they offer some of their content for free on YouTube? #mindfulness #stress #anxiety https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3JhfsgFPLSLNEROQCdj-GQ

I've been using #Headspace for over a year now and I am a happy subscriber. Yesterday evening I was in for a surprise. I ask my Google Home to start a random sleepcast by saying 'Good Night'. Suddenly I found myself in an X-wing fighter! Haven't found the content in the app yet, but it's coming for sure! #StarWars #mindfulness https://mashable.com/article/star-wars-headspace

I hope I did things correctly, but #ActivityPub should now be enabled on my blog. No idea if it works. Since everything has been updated once again, I need to pick up this #blogging thing again now moving across the country and COVID-19 have settled a bit.
