My #introduction (#introductions) is hilariously out of date. My name is Patrick Hogan and I'm a journalist. I've worked a bunch of places, but I'm presently between the jobs (hire me). I wrote an intro to Mastodon last month for The Outline https://theoutline.com/post/2689/mastodon-makes-the-internet-feel-like-home-again
I toot a lot about scifi/fantasy novels, video games and other crap. I've made several dumb bots: @FursonaAssignment @NintendoPowered @Energy_Forecast and I released a Mastodon ebooks bot you can use today! https://github.com/Srol/mastodon-ebook
Circumstances when it's okay to @ someone telling them to use linux: If they post "I'm thinking about using gnu/linux"

Ok the weekend can start now.
My dog is barking because I'm working and she can't engage with my brand.
One time I asked my doctor if my skull was weird and she said maybe I should find another doctor. I moved to Iowa a month later, so I guess she was right?
They've just always got so much going on, I can't keep up!
Do you think Taco Bell would think I was pranking them if I called and asked if they had any specials this evening? It wouldn't be a prank, I assure you.
So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Ta-ta
Ta-ta, ta-ta, to ya and ya and ya
I'm so bored at work, I'm just sitting at my desk mumbling new verses to the song "So Long Farewell" from The Sound of Music
ummmm
I wish I understood anything about why I like the things I like.
Why does my health insurance have a five day processing period for all payments, but this improv theater somehow manages to get the cash for my classes out of my bank account seconds after I make the payment.
I guess I am the kind of asshole who would take improv classes because that's what I just signed up for.
