@juliesbits Hello and welcome!! I joined Mastodon a little over a month ago — and landed in c.im simply because it was a general interest instance that was accepting new people when I started looking into alternatives to my other social media site.
I’ve thought about migrating to a new instance. But, honestly my tastes are so eclectic. There is no instance of nerds interested in:
And I’ve mostly found a welcoming group of people here. So here I’m staying. At least for now! 😉

TIL a new typography term I never ran into through all my years of or . It also explains “why” there are two distinct forms for the letter “a”. This all came from studying the paleographic differences of the two scribes who created the Icelandic manuscript in “The Scribes of Flateyjafbok, GKS 1005.”
tl;dr : if the a - e ligature (æ) was written with a one-story a, it could be mistaken for the a - o ligature (œ).
Never thought about that before.
