  1. A quotation from James Thurber

    By definition, humor is gentle. The savage, the cruel, the harsh would fall under the heading of wit and/or satire, as the lawyers say. Now, my definitions are these: The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people — that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.

    James Thurber (1894-1961) American humorist, cartoonist, writer
    Interview (1959-03-24) by Edward R. Murrow, Small World, CBS-TV

  9. Where the heck do I send a hilarious story about space marines, aliens, and vampire robots which happens to be X-rated? I’ve read it at sex-positive events before where people laughed themselves silly. Does anyone print funny speculative smut? @oglaf has an appreciative audience, so where might mine be hiding? #ShortStory #SFF #smut #WritingCommunity #publishing #porn #comedy #humorist #humourist #SpaceMarines #Aliens #Vampires #Robots

    Regarding:

    "Ta-da! My first Mastodon post. I have high hopes for this social site (after becoming disillusioned with several others)."

    Hi Brian!

    Welcome to Mastodon and the server. I'm really happy that you joined!

    I'm adding the #introduction and #introductions hashtags. Hashtags on Mastodon are super-important since there's no AI filling timelines. People follow hashtags. You can search for hashtags of interest and follow them as well (click on a hashtag and then the plus sign). I follow these 2 as well.

    Also check the Federated timeline to find people to follow and also check out fedi.directory

    In short order your timeline will only have posts that you are interested in. This is the best difference from other social media sites. It's why people love Mastodon.

    So, welcome Brian in #Louisville.

    She's 92 today.
