Gnomic Heresy<p>Hi all, an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> post. This is my... third? Fourth? try at adopting Mastodon; I used it for awhile some years ago and kind of faded; I went back to it with a new profile last year; and now I&#39;m here and it looks like there is critical mass! I&#39;m thrilled! Settling into this instance and excited to be here.</p><p>I am a professional <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writer</span></a> who mostly writes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a>-inclusive social and emotional learning <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/curriculum" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>curriculum</span></a> for a livelihood.
