I love it when I get lost in a mass of sound, completely wrapped in a lingering noise or vapourwavey track, and then external sounds weave their way into it and even appear to add a melody to it all. The 3D printers in the room next door just did that while I was listening to BLUESCREEN 002 by Windows 98の : https://windows98wave.bandcamp.com/album/bluescreen-002 #smallstories#noise#incidentalbeauty
I'm about to bed down, so I won't get to interact about this in a timely fashion; but...
Have you crowdfunded medical expenses? What platform did you use? How was your experience?
Basically, I know my insurance won't pay for my (likely but not definite) affirmation surgery, claiming it is "experimental". So I want to learn what platforms are the most ethical.
This is pre research. I don't know my exact path yet, but need to start exploring possibilities.
"How can we jam the current architecture of #socialmedia? How do we design technologies that are identity-proof, that prevent the #identity from broadcasting itself unlimitedly?
Social media may be using us as “human shields” to protect itself.
We believe that harnessing tendencies for collective problem solving will pave the next revolution.
The network society must stop feeding identity and give rise to the problem-solving society."
Just making this perfectly clear that y/our @:mastodon:.ART & toots will never be shut down by me if I can no longer maintain .ART
In addition to what you love about your account here & how you inspire others across the Fediverse, the domains I own for #Mastodon, your toots & all your #MastoART will be given* to @Gargron & https://joinMastodon.org.
Eugen is already aware of this — I mentioned this last year & he will have access to this server & domains transferred. He has obviously given me a lot of help keeping your tootastic experience awesome here. *Yes, this isn't binding & there are caveats like if he moves on etc. This means it would go to a foundation like @Krita, @inkscape, @GIMP, @Framasoft for example.
But the point is, .ART will live on with or without me because y'all are what makes .ART & not me.
*this is response to a another rather large #Mastodon instance shutting down.
