masto-history help please?
Would you all point me to any cite-able links discussing Masto's relatively queer/furry/commie early community?
I want to refer to it in an essay, and can't simply offer my personal recollection as evidence.
Articles, blog posts all welcome. Anything with a stable URL.
Thank you so much!

a reliable barometer for determining if a thing is good is if it contains the phrase "I turn your attention now to the very interesting situation in Akkadian"
My girlfriend joined Mastodon and maintenant, nous créons des fursonas mignons dans une langue que nous ne pouvons même pas comprendre.
@cnc@cybre.space I don't know if I'll be able to find my copy of Dandelion Wine, but there's a wonderful bit somewhere in the first several pages about the Ticonderoga yellow number-two pencil.

@fireh9lly Or, in a completely different vein, Ryan Veeder's are funny and odd. Try Taco Fiction, or else Robin & Orchid. http://www.rcveeder.net/blog/interactive-fiction/
@fireh9lly I've found Astrid Dalmady's stuff pretty arresting. Try Cactus Blue Motel or Tangaroa Deep and you'll have a good sense. http://astriddalmady.com

Random Unqualified Psychology Hypothesis
@Angle@witches.town When researching stress, I read about how our bodies' stress responses are well designed to cope with sudden, short-term alarms (a panther, a fall): flush the body with epinephrines, which then stop quickly. When we suffer creeping, long-term stresses (checking email, social anxieties), our bodies do what they know how to do, except we're producing the response chemicals all the time, which is hard on us physically.
Job Search Update
@Sparrow That's so great! Congratulations! What a relief, I imagine, after all the work of searching. Enjoy being in a position to decide, you've earned it.
@cnc@cybre.space My German teacher used to call those kinds of things "the short-and-shitties," and encouraged us to keep a little list of our personal s&s 's.

@Angle@witches.town @hirojin My local library has a copy and I'll check it out! It's a humanist bible, drawing on classics and intentionally arranged much like the 'real' bible.
