Hi, this me from my Friendica instance. I also post from @GidiKroon@mastodon.social, @gidi@pleroma.gidikroon.eu as well as from Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr as @GidiKroon but I'm mainly using my own Friendica for now. Even though I have been on the fediverse for a few years, I've never done an #Introduction post, so let's do one for this channel.

I tend to post about actresses and singers I'm a fan of, sharing news about their new projects as well as my thoughts about films and tv I watch. In between I give my take on political things as well as about the fediverse. When I learn new things hosting a fediverse server or other technical things, I try to share them here too. Longer posts may end up on my blog gidikroon.eu (which you can follow at @GidiKroon@gidikroon.eu).

In real life I work as a software developer, but I keep work separate from a private account like this. I play (beach) volleyball when I can, at a very low level. I live in the Netherlands and occasionally cycle and take photographs. I read and watch sci-fi and fantasy, and am interested in ways to achieve social justice, gender and race equality, sustainable energy use and climate justice.

Feel free to follow, as I will also follow other accounts I find interesting without expectation of them following back. Feel free to share (boost, repeat) my posts if you want, using whatever share function comes with your platform. I tend to close DMs to only allow people I follow. I check my fediverse accounts only one or a few times a day, typically on my phone or tablet, so I tend to not be part of live discussions.

A long time ago there were books about children with magical abilities that went to a school where they could further learn their crafts. These stories were filmed so we can see them on our screens.

I'm talking about The Worst Witch of course, based on the books by Jill Murphy. What else do you think I was talking about?

The tv series is where I first saw Felicity Jones and Jessica Fox, both still kids at the time, which I thought were both uber talented. In the case of Felicity I've been proven right, she is an internationally famous actress now and has an Oscar nomination. But I stand by Jessica too.

Felicity is only in series one of the three, afterwards her character does a 'witch-over' on herself. In the sequel Weirdsister College, on my discs it's The Worst Witch series four, she's back ('the witch-over didn't stick, don't mention it to her'). Jessica comes in later in series 1 and stays for 2 and 3.

I also really liked the stories when I saw them ages ago on Belgian tv.

Now rewatching all of it from my DVDs. The original series, not the more recent remake.
