The potentials (good, bad, other) of multiple fediverse accounts is fuzzy to me.
Someone might be able to explain, but I still don't think I would really understand.
Being followed by the same person from two or more accounts does not quite make sense...yet.

Kevin, this stands as a perfect example of the connected learning process.
An interlaced cycle of positive feedback.

Word of the Day
suncatcher
noun
a decorative piece of glass, mineral, or other see-through material that is hung in a window to bring in and disperse the sun's rays on the walls of a room
Buying suncatchers at the harvest fair is an annual family tradition. After many years, we have several on each window. https://mastodon.cloud/media/EozdOJVBagDNcZ6GOo8

Horseshoe Crab
#ARTober No.7 - ancient
No, not this individual crab, but this crustacean has been around long enough to be found as fossils.
People may, if old enough, be called fossils, but the species is relatively young. https://mastodon.cloud/media/PC1Pedhk6DA-HSiZbdw

I may have missed it.
Did you add the "official" smallstories hashtag to it?
Stories without the hashtag are just as good, but miss the chance to be followed through the tag.
Either way, glad you gave it a shot. Stories make me happy when I read them.
Don't fully understand why.

It certainly seems that some people want students to come out at the end of their school years with a "skill".
The further a person goes in academics, the more limited their scope is "supposed" to be.
Being a polymath (a generalist) is not currently given much support, though at one time a "liberal arts" degree was desirable.
Too much focus may also "blind" us to opportunities which surround us.

Being a junior high (and then 'middle school") teacher was my good fortune. I spent 36 years sharing my experience with eager learners.
Science was my subject, but I was, in truth, a generalist. Every assignment had links to all the other stuff in the kids' lives. We dealt with reading, writing, math and history. We were regularly dismantling and making, before it became STEM.
I was blessed with a lack of focus. https://mastodon.cloud/media/s7SThLx4rHAVWkQloNQ

Effective juxtaposition.
Thanks for sharing.

Good luck with your attempt to gather interesting posts from interesting people. If mine give you an occasional smile, I'm pleased.
Should the reaction become a stream of frowns, cut me off.
Be safe.

I truly appreciate the way that users are invited to and feel empowered to make suggestions about how to improve both the software of Mastodon (typical of open source) and the user experience (not as commonly part of the process.)

Superb.
And thanks to @Curator for the boost which showed me your work.
