In an earlier #TwitterMigration phase, the #7FilmsToKnowMe intro went around. It was fun. I found some people to follow who shared my tastes.
I was delighted to find others who loved Albert Brooks' "Defending Your Life".
Anyway, if that was you--my housemate spotted this thing today and gave it to me. Now I give it to you.
I've consolidated my toots to clean up how many things are pinned to the top of my profile. (Cat & Dog pics at bottom)

Moving from home.social to masto.ai (my 2nd move), here are some notable toots and/or tell what kind of a tooter I am.
I'm not going to post links from home.social since it will be closing soon so those toots will be a part of history, I guess.
My sentiments toward people moving to #Mastodon

Mastodononat!💬 (@onat@mastodon.social)As someone who used to blog way back in the 2000s with a cjb.net redirect URL, hosted at Geocities and Tripod, I am used to writing and publishing just for myself.
If they come to Mastodon, good. If not, it's fine. Like what says on my Twitter profile (which I'll probably change to here soon), I am not doing it for the likes.
