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.

The Fediverse

To be present here...

I consider that a present.

Thanks!

**Thanks for Being There**

Though I'm sometimes a dope,
It is my significant hope
That I sometimes give you smiles
Across these many network miles.

Boston T train issue disrupts morning commute.

Some riders complain bitterly.

One rider notes, "I've lived here for 31 years and it's the first time this has happened."

Some people have their priorities askew, misunderstanding what a "treasure" really is.

Every day, yes, in every way, I look forward to the WotD! i guess you'd say I have a positive outlook.

@dirtycommo

Is slime prone to anarchism?

I do have a very fond memory of watching a slime mold crawl over itself, coming up out of a crack in the deck around a swimming pool. I watched it slide and shift about an inch in half an hour.

Fascinating stuff.

I missed today's dawn.
Overnight too wakeful,
Left me with a yawn.

Home team plays late tonight
So I guess that I am grateful
Or I'd be in extra sleepy plight.

@katafrakt

Thanks for reaching out to connect.

Your account seems a bit underused at this point. Is it that you have not had responses?

That's a real drag. While this place isn't a "like" factory, it does give us the chance to interact.

I hope that will work out.

Of course, if you decide later that you made a mistake, drop me.

Have fun.
Be productive.
Be safe.

I think I like version 2 with a word substitution to prevent doubling up on "hard", slightly better.

You've connected.

Thank you.

Your account looks new.

Before we can do a good job of interacting, you'll need to add a bit more information in your profile and do some posts...we call them "toots", here, of course.

Whatever else you do,
have fun;
be creative;

@ag

Thanks for the reciprocal connection.

As you will soon determine, my toots are frequently random.

I'm a fan of Free Software and daily user of #Inkscape to do #Clipart .

If time passes (it does tend to do so) and you find my toots a waste of your time, move on, leaving me behind.

I wish you a full ration of fun as you explore your game development options.

Be creative.
Be safe.

(I used to go to a dentist with your last name. Small world.)

@ag

Stick with it.
Retirement AND game development are possible.

Well, not for me, perhaps, but that might be related to my other interests which have blossomed since retiring.
