there was a toot somewhere that explained what "tusk" means in mastospeak

@sophia watch for the sparks in their eyes when they look at you when you lough wholeheartedly
The 50 minute multi-disciplinary work by Jair-Rohm Parker Wells is called “Blac Buc” -- a play on words referencing the Reconstruction era racial slur “Black Buck” and the name of the modular synthesizer system that the piece was realized on: the Buchla 200e modular synthesizer. The work was produced entirely using GNU, free and open source software.

@NthTensor why is it a good practice to follow as much interesting people as possible? i think that's not what is desired. federated timeline on your instance should be still an expression of the interests of the node's users and not as-populated-as-possible. the fediverse is already held together by it's federating technology.
@Gargron @stickypaws what is the status of copyright on mastodon art? if it's some creative commons, anyone can make stickers...
@transientgirl that's my hometown!
Hey weekend Masto peeps
I have a horrible living situation & need to get out of it this summer so I can start HRT! I have a place to go once the Fall semester starts, but would also really like to just live somewhere independently, so if any LGBT folks in south west PA are looking for roomates or would otherwise be able to take one on, I would really appreciate getting in contact.
Boosts appreciated
PATTI SMITH: I always write in the morning, very early in the morning. I wake up about seven and go to an empty cafe. I like to have both a little solitude but have some action around me.
What I learned you know, writing it's like a muscle. It is like running. It is like anything else that we do, singing, playing the violin, it is a lot of it is labour intensive, discipline intensive.
It is not all about inspiration and magic and being stoned or all of these things can play an interesting part. But really, to find a certain discipline and apply a work ethic to writing, you will get a lot more done.
i don't know how many have you heard that musicians are getting paid less for their music with music consumption moving to streaming services. http:/resonate.is is an alternative streaming platform that works as a cooperative and tries to create a "fair trade music" practice for streaming. if you have/buy credits there, you can stream some of my songs here: https://resonate.is/profile/239/
the crystal ball (federated timeline on witches.town) is too fast to follow. at times.
