Colored my beard today. the 20 and 30 y/o office types can smell an old soul.

They'll eat me alive if they found out my real age.

Can't be delulu. Gotta keep rizzing the skibbidi fanum tax. No cap.

My parents never said this to me but I fully understood it. #GenX #Xennial

I just dropped off my phone at a random guy's house for him to repair my charging port.

As an elder millennial, meeting strangers off the internet in the 90s was strange but kinda normal for kids our age.

Kinda felt like that today after searching for local phone repair. Just a dude in his home fixing phones.

He's only gonna find cute photos of my kid and an awesome gallery of action figures. Maybe a sad collection of fitness apps that were never opened...

Looking through these #Xennial lifehack memes and I genuinely forgot computer mice used to have rubber balls on the bottom, and you periodically had to open up the chamber to dust and yank out pet hair.

Damn.

New server, new intro!

I'm Charlie, and I just migrated here from tech.lgbt. I've been working in the tech industry for nearly 20 years now. Stuck between #GenX and #Xennial. An extroverted introvert. I have three cats.

I'm

I love #gaming of all types, especially of the #RPG, #OpenWorld, and #MMO variety. Into too many game series to fit here, but I'm currently playing a lot of #Warframe and #DwarfFortress.

I started my fitness journey in April of 2024.

If I'm not sleeping, I'm listening to music. Mostly indie bands, post rock, shoegaze and dream pop.

I've been getting more into #sustainability and reviving old electronics to keep them out of landfills. Currently restoring, rehoming, and collecting #ThinkPads.

I'm always open to following cool people. Just please, have a pfp and some content in your profile for a vibe check. If you don't CW your heavy/political posts, I probably won't follow back. It's nothing personal; I'm just trying to curate a manageable feed.

Just launched my account on tenforward.social, so it's time for an #introduction!

I'm a writer and artist and I like to combine those in the form of comics. I had a modestly successful webcomic back in the day and bringing it back is my full-time job at the moment. You can see my art stuff at @nickthewright@mastodon.art!

I also sometimes make videos, video games, podcasts and I occasionally even do improv. You can see all my various stuff at https://nickthewright.com

My core fandom is #StarTrek and I volunteer for #TrekTrack at #DragonCon. I've been into #anime almost as long as I've been into Trek, and I grew up with Ranma 1/2, Kimagure Orange Road, and Dirty Pair (currently I'm really enjoying Frieren). I also like Star Wars and other generally geeky stuff.

I'm an #Xennial. I support #trans and #queer rights, I'm #leftist af, #antifascist and #anticapitalist. I'm #vegan, #bicyclist, #urbanist and #atheist.

If none of that scares you, hi!

I'm far too fascinated with far too many topics. I've compiled an exhaustive list of hashtags for some of those interests; I'll try to do better about keeping it current and updated.

The obligatory #introduction post

I'm a Canadian web dev & designer who's a huge music data nerd. I've been scrobbling to #lastfm since 2004. I regularly contribute connectors to #WebScrobbler. I love exploring new music through radio. I'm a #KEXP sustaining member. I also love #TheCurrent #WFMU #WXPN #BBC6.

I'm a #xennial who recently discovered I'm #neurodivergent, so that's fun.

#introduction

Hello Mastodon #Xennials! I'm XennyG, finally making the move to the decentralized fediverse! I'll be, uh, tooting, about #xennial stuff and #Steelers stuff as well, from time to time.

Hi, I'm Jordan, and this is my #introduction. I'm a #xennial #nonbinary #Chicago area dad who does #Linux stuff for a living and for a hobby. I've worked lots of places, but the one you've probably heard of is #GitHub. I don't work there anymore. At one point in the past I wrote some articles for #LWN and I still write an occasional tech blog post or two.

Previous iterations of me have been a "gifted child," an #arcade rat, a #BBS kid, a fry cook, a #furry, a library assistant, a #comics nerd, a #goth, an art student, a delivery driver, and a PhD program dropout. Sadly, I am now too old and saddled with responsibility / glorious purpose to be cool with any regularity.

Politically, I would say that I lean pretty far to the left, but mostly I am too tired from parenting and living through a slow-motion apocalypse to think political thoughts much deeper than "please stop killing people and the planet."

I mostly read #scifi and a bit of #fantasy. Recent favorites include the #LockedTomb series by Tamsyn Muir, the #Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers, the #Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, the #ImperialRadch series by Ann Leckie, and the #MachineriesOfEmpire by Yoon Ha Lee. I am a big #Dune nerd and have been known to make a lot of stupid Dune memes. My favorite band of all time is #GWAR and the band I saw most recently was #100gecs.
