@patterfloof Yeah, my stuff will definitely be SFW :-)

@Damage Thank you!

Given that I'm currently on track to finish my PhD in 2019, this is an excellent year to subscribe to the "Minim" level of sponsorship, because there will be a *lot* of sheet music.
Sponsor me for each new work on Patreon:

@kyzh @vfrmedia @Satsuma The answer to "But What About The Children" is always "What About Their Parents" -- yes, I know not all children *have* parents, but the ones who don't probably have bigger problems than finding kid-friendly spaces online.

@kyzh @vfrmedia @Satsuma Yeah, I was thinking more "somewhere with friendly weird people and where the adult content is mostly avoidable" rather than "explicitly safe for a kid".

I don't think there is any part of the internet that is completely safe, because, well, it's all joined up. For parents, talking to your kids and *listening to them* is probably the most important thing. But mine didn't, so I dunno.

@kyzh @vfrmedia
I remember just...using IRC at 14, totally unsupervised. My parents didn't even *know* at first.

@kyzh I think wandering.shop might be pretty good for a 13-year-old.

@masklayer oh! no idea, sorry.

@masklayer I know that at least some screen readers recognise heading tags.

@griffinkate are you using web or an app? it could also be an app problem I guess.

@griffinkate OK, this thread of mine on smusi.ch seems to be intact though?

I wonder if it's a .social thing?

@griffinkate I'm pretty sure I've done longer threads than that! Will test.

Do we have a food/cooking/eating instance yet?

Right, so, I like what I made, but ideally what I want is this:
1) Gift-giver selects whether they want to print something themselves or have me print it, and what level of sponsorship they want to gift
2) I get a notification (either way).

I think PayHip and .pdfs might be the way to go with this. Or maybe Gumroad? I dunno.

If this turns out well I might try some prettier certificates, maybe hand-written or glittery or something. Feels a bit monochrome for me at the moment.

But also, people who sponsor me to compose music presumably want me to compose music, not spend hours on custom hand-lettering that I have to take my splints off for.

Maybe the obvious thing would be cards printed by Moo or whoever. Hmm.

So I guess I'm going for a sort of minimum viable product at the moment.
