<p>If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty of land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - a hape of big discounts across the shop, including on already reduced bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON.</p><p>Shop the big sale here: <a href="https://www.ciaraioch.com/artprints" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>www.ciaraioch.com/artprints</a></p><p><a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#Art</a> <a href="/tags/mastoart/" rel="tag">#MastoArt</a> <a href="/tags/mastodaoine/" rel="tag">#MastoDaoine</a> <a href="/tags/ireland/" rel="tag">#Ireland</a> <a href="/tags/fedigiftshop/" rel="tag">#FediGiftShop</a></p>
<p>As I'm trying to use Mastodon a bit more again, taking recommendations for people to follow. My interests:</p><p>* tech (Linux, open source, public policy)<br>* music (jazz, afrobeat, fuji, hip hop, techno, house, footwork/juke... really a bit of anything)<br>* politics (left)</p><p>EDIT: I appreciate the nice advice from folks about other methods of discovery, but I'm not new to Mastodon by any means. If you haven't any direct recs, feel free to scroll past :)</p><p><a href="/tags/followfriday/" rel="tag">#FollowFriday</a> <a href="/tags/mastodaoine/" rel="tag">#MastoDaoine</a></p>
