I'd like to remind you that I released my third album, "Reflections", about a week ago. Maybe you'll like it. 💙🍁

give me a social media where the popular people you see everywhere are also legitimately cool folks and role models you wouldn't mind grabbing a soda with
Oh yeah, I took some photos of the very wet London pavement on Monday. I'm presenting them here upside-down
#photography #mastoart #London
Also, I'll take the opportunity to post this Escher piece called "Three Worlds" - which is what sprang to my mind as I was snapping those pics of the pavement. I thiiink it's my favourite piece by him? At least one of my favourites.
nazis, antifa activism
https://www.soko-chemnitz.de/ oh my god this is beautiful
antifa activists set up a honeypot site pretending to be a face-recognition catalog of people from neonazi events, except it's all fake and they farmed the "search for photos of [name]" function to map out connections between known nazis and gather clues on yet-unknown nazi activists

"you wouldn't download a" trivia (cw: sketchy business practices)
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/dutch-rights-group-fined-for-not-paying-royalties
Hollywood-funded anti-piracy association Brein, the people who made the "you wouldn't download a car" ad, tried to stiff Melchior Rietveldt, the musician who composed the music for it, out of the vast bulk of his royalties. They told him the ad would only be shown at a local film festival, then stuck the ad on a bunch of DVDs and acted like they had full right to.
So, like, if you're ever wondering if anti-piracy capitalists hate piracy? The answer is "no". They'll steal and lie seven days a week and twice on Sundays. They just hate seeing people enjoy media without paying them.
yall, @noelle is a main moderator on mastodon.social. she does an incredible amount of work, and they just got 20k new users in the last 24 hours b/c of the tumblr exodus. consider tossing a few $ at her if you can: https://elekk.xyz/@noelle/99815435363842285
you know what's really nice? sincerity. im tired of being in other places and having everything anyone says be couched behind a brand or a veil of ironic joking. i really appreciate that about mastodon's culture - the capacity for people here to just be sincere with each other. i hope the new folks can feel that as well
masto etiquette suggestion
if someone asks you for a content warning, try to avoid asking for an explanation and justification. even if eye contact or food feel weird to content warn, it really sucks to explain exactly why those things hurt
additionally, make posts about how it's a welcome thing to ask for content warnings! maybe pin that, you get 5 of those on standard mastodon instances!
you'll get subposted about a lot less if people feel safe to DM you about their cw needs uwu
I am in pretty dire straights due to wage garnishment, and I'm saving up to move to MD where it's safer for me as a trans dude. (I'm in TX)
So I'm taking commissions, as well as tarot readings! My commission info can be found here!

here's a rad thing: because modern pugs have all kinds of health problems with being bred to be chubby and having no snout to speak of and massive bulging eyes, there's a growing trend (supported by breeder's orgs relaxing breed standards) to breed them back to a healthier shape
