That’s it. I’m making an ostrich account to put my head in the sand and only subscribe to happy place communities.

A friend of mine who’s a professional singer got told by his former conductor upon firing him, “well, see, if a violinist has a bad instrument he can just replace it. But in the case of a singer, well, it’s just not so easy.” Very roundabout and very crushing.

Powerful and saddening. It does feel like, as an artist, everything revolves around how good others think you are. I try to go around it by only performing others people’s work, but also then, you’re dependent on those people wanting to work with you or not. Still dependent. Always dependent, as an artist, which is so so heavy.

Busted.

this is a man who ran afowl of his home country’s laws about pornography.

Afoul, surely?

The icon for media reminds me of a bidet on a floor plan.

I’m one eighty six… kilometers!

Us metric people usually say it in meters. I’m one meter 86.

These are great writeups.

Hey a problem that solves itself. Nice.

I’m happy with Pipepipe myself, it’s on the izzyondroid F-droid repo.
