Hello Mastodon World! I just joined and I am finding my way in this thing!

My name is Debora. I'm a recently graduated Illustrator, animator and Experience designer from The Netherlands. Feel free to add me and ask me questions.

On the internet I can be found as FranciskaDebora.

I think that's it for introductions, can't wait to see what this place has to offer!

Hi Mastodon. I'm hopeful this is a better place to be than twitter. Could folks point me to other scifi and fantasy authors on the network?

The playlist and stream of the latest episode, nb 108 with #MoleculesToMinds, are up on the website: https://studio-dessai.github.io/2017/11/23/sdecviii/
Enjoy! #postRock

If net neutrality goes down, we have to go around the ISPs. How best to do that? mesh networks?

I ♥ the culture of re-introducing ourselves when a wave of new users arrives.

In that spirit, here's my re- #introduction ...

I am a future #teacher. 👨🏫

I am a #vegan. 🥕

I am an agnostic #atheist #Humanist but NOT an anti-theist. Like really, if you believe in a deity, spirits, magic...I don't much care. We can disagree & that's OK. ❔

I am an #exchristian from a fundie-baptist background, so you may occasionally hear me speak from that perspective. 📖

Most of my posts are for followers only. 😄

How a half educated #tech elite delivered us into chaos. Key paragraph: "Put simply, what Google and Facebook have built is a pair of amazingly sophisticated, computer-driven engines for extracting users’ personal information and data trails, refining them for sale to advertisers in high-speed data-trading auctions that are entirely unregulated and opaque to everyone except the companies themselves." [and perhaps opaque to themselves] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/19/how-tech-leaders-delivered-us-into-evil-john-naughton

I've spent the last handful of years working as the Lead Background Designer on Cartoon Network's #StevenUniverse, making stuff like this!
