As I moved over to the hcommons.social server a bit of an #introduction. I am a cultural and media theorist working across the fields of (book) publishing and digital culture. My research explores the future of scholarly communications and experimental forms of knowledge production, incorporating processual and performative publishing, #radicalOA, scholarly poethics, media studies, book history, cultural studies, and critical theory. I am an Associate Professor at The Centre for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University where I currently oversee the post-publishing research theme and co-lead on the COPIM project (Community-Led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs). I also support various publishing projects & collectives, including the Radical Open Access Collective, Open Humanities Press, the Open Book Collective, and Post Office Press. I also published an openly available monograph, Living Books. Experiments in the Posthumanities (MIT Press 2021) https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262046022/living-books/

I'm Rachel, an artist and designer based in Suffolk, UK.
I sculpt (mostly #masks), make miniature book jewellery, and dabble in all kinds of digital and physical media - mostly #linoprints and a bit of watercolour at the moment.
My work is often inspired by #folklore, myth and nature ^_^
I’m a critical #datastudies and #mediastudies scholar who focuses on #datacenters and lately also on #humanoids in the #cloud. I’m an Associate Professor at the U of #Calgary (Alberta, Canada). Very gay and very pro-masking and -taking care of each other. Hi! 💘

#introduction Hi All. I live at the bottom of Australia on the sublime island of #Tasmania, which is just glorious for it’s scenery and lifestyle.
I have been working in IT professionally since 2004, spending much of that time in an infrastructure administration role but have recently moved into a #cybersecurity role that I am pretty excited about but is keeping me busy.
My hobbies tend to come and go in phases, and I cycle between #photography, #hamradio, #gardening and #gaming, the latter of which has sucked me in for the past 12-ish months with the game Destiny 2.
I spent a lot of time in the past being involved in the community both by being on the committees of community orgs and as volunteer firefighter.
I usually post all manner of stuff here, from general musings, news, hobby-related posts, work stuff, you get the idea. there is no theme. Feel free to drop me a follow if my posts interest you :)
#Introduction: I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Hi everyone! I've been here forever, but there's a lot of new faces here and I merged another account with this one, so I thought I'd do a little re- #introduction thread.
I've been working in the games industry as a console graphics programmer for about 6 years, I lead a smol team at a local outsourcing studio, and I helped ship Gears 5 and Gears Tactics.
I'm mostly not going to talk about any of that, and instead I mostly post about stuff like this:
I'm formerly gamerparent on twitter, the host of The Magic Hour Show #gaming#Podcast The kids are grown and off at uni so I'm rediscovering myself in the quiet.
I'm a musician, freelance recording engineer, and producer. I can edit video, and I write words too. I love film and TV.
I am in the middle of a soldering project to build my own modular #eurorack#synthesizer#diy I just started a blog collecting my thoughts and notes on the process.
Hello! Twitter refugee just coming over to check things out and trying to find my old friends and make some new ones.
I'm a #fic#writer with flighty muses, fond of writing both weird, funny crack, and utterly shameless smut. Into #MCU, #GoodOmens, #OFMD, #Sherlock, and many more.
I'm a friendly and fun weirdo to hang out with. Fandom old. she/her.
#introduction Uhhh I might as well re-intro for the new wave of users. Hi! i like #talesof and I also play #ffxiv . Pretty much all of my posts are about Tales mobile games, primarily Rays.👋
Seems an #introduction is in order.
Hi I'm Neal a migrant from the other place where I torture myself by doomscrolling about the state of the world and UK in particular. Will still be doing plenty of that but hoping to temper it with a little more positive engagement with the local community without fear of getting my head ripped off. Let's see how this goes.
#introduction post! I'm heavily into #CQL#MDZS but also #cdrama in general. I've only written a couple of threadfics on the bird site, but I love reading fics. Especially #WangXian.
#introduction Hi! I am a cryptic lurker that frequently changes profile pictures and nicknames. My #fandom s are #Persona5#GenshinImpact and #vtubers. I am also into #BL and #fanfiction in general. I write some myself but won't share 😳 unless...?
I am following #HousekiNoKuni and will scream and liveblog about it.
I am also into discussions about all things #queer.
Nice to meet yall!
So, I'm Robb. I'm a mid 40s retro and modern gaming nerd from Manchester in the UK. I got my first computer, a C16 way back in the mid 80s, and haven't stopped loving them since.
