Hey hey, I’m bijuice.
I’m a cat dad from Kenya who’s into poetry, art and gaming. I also mentor at a wonderful tech focused program called KamiLimu.
I’ve been here for about a week now and I’m loving it so far. Y’all are so nice :)

Hi, I’m Whelmer, never maintained a reddit account but I was a chronic lurker and was pleased to discover this whole Lemmy thing recently. Always had a love/hate thing with reddit and this place reduces significantly the latter part of that equation.
I’m an organic orchardist by trade, novice gardener and beekeeper as well. Been into Linux and FOSS for the past decade or so. I also like to play and build synthesizers. Though these days I’m not finding a lot of time for my non-economic hobbies.
Thanks for creating and maintaining this community.
Hello. I am also a cat dad of five, I like music theory and composition, creative writing, board and card games, and sometimes drawing. I am an ally to Furries. I identify as heteroflexible.
Hi, I hate glitter and my name is not Lance. I do cross stitching and play the occasional video game. I also like books, cross stitching has enabled me to listen to audio books. I like sci-fi and adventure/mystery but I read romance novels too from time to time.
Howdy!
My name is Logan, I figured it would be nice to have a human name behind the username.
I have ASPD, I associate more closely to the “traditional” definition of sociopathy than I do psychopathy.
Lots of things are confusing for me and I may come across as aggressive or temperamental and, at times, I may truly be behaving in this way intentionally but unconsciously, intentionally and fully aware of it but simply need time to be away from the social interaction, or completely lacking the vocabulary to express my thoughts and feelings in a constructive manner.
It’s nice to meet you!
Hey, I’m Gamma he/him 👋 I like gamedev and writing fiction! Haven’t written anything shareable in a while since I’ve been working on a few Playdate games this year. I like to talk about most anything. Any book recommendations? Preferably audiobook, hopefully my library has it available 🤞
Does your Libby have the same shit as mine?
Recently listened to The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, Wendell Berry: Unsettling of America, Steve Coll: Directorate S, also Coll: Shadow Wars, Raven by Tim Reiterman, Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakaeur,The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel. We Carry Their Bones by Erin Kimmerle.
All non-fiction but all good. The two books by Coll are two of the best books I’ve ever read, if you’re at all interested in the Afghan war or the CIA. And David Graeber is definitely a favourite of mine as well.
Also, if you don’t know about it, Librivox is a cool source for audiobooks. It’s all volunteer-read from Project Guttenburg. The quality can be a little rough if you’re used to profressional audiobooks, but some of the readers are really good and there’s a lot of great stuff. A reader I really like on that platform is called Expatriate, loved his reading of Don Quioxote.
Found a few; Stranger in the Woods, Dawn of Everything. Added We Carry Their Bones to a notify list so I hear when it comes in. The last one kinda reminds me of Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe, that was a good listen!
Haven’t heard of Librivox, I’ll have to check it out when I run out of stuff at the library 😆 Thanks for all the recs!
Just finished The Stranger in the Woods, it was really good! The Dawn of Everything should be up soon, I’ll get to it after The Winners 😄
Pretty amazing story eh? Imagine what his winters were like, for so many years! Peculiar guy.
Having grown up in Montana, the coastal deep freeze is something I’d rather not experience 🥶 especially by myself in the woods! Insane to think that he was so close to people the whole time
I’m a cat parent of one from Australia. I came here as a reddit refugee and am appreciating the cultural differences here. Much easier to curate a healthy front page here!
Hi fellow Aussie! Does your username by any chance come from this picture ?
Haha yes, that is exactly the picture that inspired the username. The other part of the inspiration came from First Dog On The Moon’s character, Brenda the Civil Disobedience Penguin ♡ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/19/the-northern-hemisphere-is-on-fire-the-temperature-records-being-broken-are-record-breaking?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Hi all, I’m Michael, your friendly neighborhood aspie. I joined the Fediverse around ~2 months ago with the Reddit migration. While I have lightly participated in Beehaw’s communities since then, I’ve only just now made an account here and intend to participate here more.
I’m an avid gamer with a pretty low tolerance for BS monetization. Some of my favorite games are the Soulsborn series, Deep Rock Galactic, Victoria 3, Risk of Rain 2, Rimworld, and Kingdoms Reborn. I’ve recently stumbled across the physics driven medieval brawler Exanima, and I’m thoroughly addicted right now.
I also have several other interests like Music Theory and History, but I’m sure there will be plenty of time to talk about that stuff in their respective communities. Thanks for having me.
Hi. I’m Tony. It’s really nice to bee here!!
Hi everyone! My name is Thelsim.
I used to be a habitual lurker at Reddit and, like a lot of others, decided to be a bit more outgoing from now on. I really want Lemmy in general to succeed and feel that this only works if we actually reply with more than just an upvote.
I enjoy a lot of different activities from gaming to drawing (really badly) to anything else that catches my really short attention span :)
Looking forward to contribute here!Hello all good people of Beehaw.
I’ve just signed up here and thought this would be a good place to break the ice.
Hi anothermember, nice to meet you!
Hope you’ll have good time here :)
Hello everyone! I’m JP, still undecided on pronouns (any for now). I tend to be a lurker even IRL (I’m the quiet person who just likes to be there), but I’d like to start participating more in the spaces I enjoy and maybe find some sense of community.
Lately I’ve grown tired of my hobbies, and I’ve been looking for new ones. Growing up I read a lot, I used to draw and write, I played a lot of videogames, and I practiced martial arts (Karate and Judo). Later in my teens I learned to play guitar and bass, some friends got me into anime and manga (although I don’t watch or read many anymore), and like most people, I’ve enjoyed many movies and TV shows.
Recently I learned how to code (just the basics in Java, I still don’t know how to build a full web/mobile app), I started learning gamedev in Godot (I did the basic tutorials for 2D and 3D games), and now I’m trying to learn 3D modeling in Blender, but I’m pretty slow and inconsistent. I also spend a lot of time online learning about social issues, probably to the detriment of my mental health.
Other hobbies I’d like to try in the future include cooking (I suck at it, but I’d like to get good); sewing, knitting and crocheting; painting, and I’d like to get into reading and writing again at some point. I’d also like to learn how to make music, since I only know how to learn songs, but not how to write, record or produce one. My favourite music falls into the “alt-rock/indie-rock” umbrella, and lately I’ve also been discovering post-rock, which I love.
Nice to meet you all! So far, Beehaw seems like a really nice place to be(e).
