It's about using words, of course, but, while an occasional favorite or boost happens, there's little engagement.

A two-part Challenge Proposal:

A) Post a toot using the word in any way, sentence, story, analysis, rhyme...

B) Doodlers and Artists, use the word as the subject of a #SketchChallenge

Get in on the fun of words and visual imagination.

Start today?

Remember to use the #WordOfTheDay hashtag, of course.

Thanks to anyone who decides to follow this account.

I have a habit of responding to all who do so, but this is a second account, and I may mess up when trying to determine who is a new follower and who is "also" following after connecting by way of my mastodon.cloud account.

It is not my intent to litter myself all over the fediverse. I will see how things go. I've made connections with several others on mastodon.art and think I'll feel at home here while NOT restricting my toots to artistic attempts. It looks like the instance won't generally mind.

Words have art in them, too.

Good luck to all of us.

Strength to the fediverse through the efforts of individuals.

Waves lapping on the shore,
Really, who could ask for more?
Sitting under the bright umbrella,
Oh, what a very lucky fella.

A really quiet Sunday
Still, it's been a fun day.
I had a cozy nap.
And watched the Red Sox play.

Wow!

A completely new account!
Fill it with cool posts, please.

I'll try to be worth your follow, but may eventually bore you, in which case, you should chop me off of your list and make your home timeline into what you want it to be.

Have fun.

@Pixel_Art

Thanks for connecting.

I appreciate pixel work. I don't do much myself, having a focus on clipart using #Inkscape

I hope we'll cross paths frequently.

Have fun.
Be productive.
Post it!

Is this the definition of "pop-up storm"?

Radar shows downpour 100 miles to the west as we get an absolute deluge.

So much for technology, sometimes.
