       @Flaky @Konaburd yeah, for a bit there some Fedi folks were being dicks about new people learning the meta. It was really irritating to see people getting scared off the platform.

       @Flaky @Konaburd I see what you mean. I think our block list is currently private, but it would make a lot of sense to make that info available. (No automated blocklists here)

       Improved pinned post!I’m Eric, a mid twenty’s bird from the Great Lakes region. I am mostly a fiction writer but have dabbled in minor visual art. I’ve now been writing for about a year and a half focusing on mostly TF fiction. Most of my writing is based on a world I created surrounding slow TF. I have written a handful of short stories and one full book. I am currently writing the sequel to my first book and often post chapters here. I operate the Squawk.social Mastodon instance and try my best to keep things running as smooth as possible. Below is my Linktree and specific links are in the reply’s!https://linktr.ee/ericmalves#introdction #intros

       Here is Anima: The Bird House, my first complete story coming in at 19 chapters. If you enjoy birds and TF this book is full of both! The story follows Lyall and a group of friends as they experience a life altering condition together. Download the free PDF from FurAffinity:https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49571094/If you prefer printed things, here is the print copy (identical to the PDF but a bit more convenient):Anima: The Bird House https://a.co/d/4LjBw9e#tf #writing #furrywriting

       Going to attempt to make a cover image for our instance. Needs more… birds. Trying to think of what to make for it. I’m open to ideas!

       While in St Louis, I stopped by the World Bird Sanctuary. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the Harpy Eagle :wscrane:

       @volpeon if anyone needs any of the emoji to have a shorter name for your username field, let me know! I can add a second version with a shorter code.

       Everyday I stray further into the mindset that working in technology isn’t worth it. It’s a dead end that’s only becoming more painful and sucking more and more of the joy from my body. Work from home dried up, no one is hiring and I wake up dreading my supervisors. What’s a small bird to do? :BirbBlj:
