I gather the reboosting of introductions is A Thing, particularly following the instance problems and lost content for recent days. I'll do that again in a minute, in the hope that I can find again all the who hove to while I couldn't authorise follow requests and now can't seem to be found anywhere...

This page of curated lists of on Mastodon, links to groups and discipline specific instances/communities is incredibly helpful and worth bookmarking.

It throws up a familiar problem. , as my wonderful MA tutor Julia Bishop put it, is something of a disciplinary Golden Child, at the margins/interstices of other disciplines, which has tended to marginalise its institutional position.

I'm not surprised, then, that there isn't a dedicated list for or a -based instance. I'm quite comfortable with knowing that we're out there, getting on with our stuff, in other departments. But hooking up, seeing each other - that'd be a good thing too.

That slow process of finding my people in a new environment continues. I've noticed a few people already - I've sometimes been teased by other about being hostile to it, although that's not true - and a few references to over on Twitter.

As these have coincided with one of the periodic recirculations of a piece I wrote for FT about what might mean, I thought it would be worth sharing it here, too.

I guess it's just another part of my , as well, but I don't see anything wrong with that.
