A dungeon crawl game where you sell loot to thrift stores and go antiquing for new weapons, spells, and armor.

🎨 maybe you create art, photography, design, using software like #krita #gimp #ardour #blender, #darktable, #mypaint #inkscape
🎼 ...and music using #ardour #lmms #kxstudio #hydrogen #puredata or distros like #ubuntustudio
📝 ...or when writing stories your tools to go are #plume #libreoffice or #zim
📽 Maybe you make films and animation with #kdenlive #pitivi #synfig
🎮 ...or make games with #godot or #twine
🛠 You might be using tools like #robocut #openCAD #processing or #arduino to create your art or design of any form
🎪 or simply creating art using traditional mediums, doing work in performance art, circus arts or theatre, using any of the above or others to create or document your work.
are you an artist or creative in the most generic sense of the word, and use #FOSS / #FLOSS / #OpenSource software as part of your workflow?
consider tagging your works with
🐧 #artWithOpenSource tag and check out the tag for works by your fellow mastodon artists who also prefer Open Sourced alternatives.
(sibling tags of interest: #linuxartists #flossart #libreMonday and #creativeCommons )
you can't see how popular a toot is until you specifically decide you want to know how popular it is, and i appreciate that
I wish there was a universally-agreed-upon signal you could add to a slack/email/DM to mean "this is purely informational and I expect no response at all from you"
If you just have one account on one instance, you may not realize that Mastodon federation -- the means by which toots are sent from instance to instance -- is not instantaneous.
It may be seconds or minutes for a toot to traverse even directly connected instances. This depends on server load and how many messages are in the queue.
Toot lag. It's a thing.
The more you know! 💫
don't pretend like you are a transhumanist if you don't tell the automated self checkout "you're welcome, and you too" when it say "thank you and have a good day"
On sensing space:
"We each bring our ideas and senses to the experience of space. I do not look up and see spheres, a roof, a sky god – portals to the underworld. I do not see mythical figures. I do not feel insignificant, but connected, not scared, but aware. I have a spatio-temporal experience of motion through the cosmos at multiple scales, inscribed in part by science, in part by awe, in part by something else that I can only describe as sensing outer space."

we 👏 can 👏 abolish 👏 scarcity 👏 in 👏 our 👏 lifetime 👏
"We can get rid of Scarcity in our lifetime" is a much less intimidating soundbite than "let's overthrow Capitalism." Think it would be good for turning more people to the Left. Nice lil Entryist tip for ya.
replace all instances of the word 'post' in your life with 'toot'. for example. tootpunk. tootmodern. lamptoot. washington toot. first past the toot. la toote. deutsche toot. united states tootal service.

"If capitalists dearly love wagering their right to adequate food, housing, healthcare, education, and more — let them do so. [. . .]. Let the capitalists play their game in a closed gaming system where they alone will be subjected to the penalties of devastating poverty, wars over resources, starvation, and destruction of their environment. Let the capitalists play, and free the rest of us from the game." https://medium.com/@OmanReagan/capitalism-the-game-ad9830907a5d
