art & fandom nonsense

I think only posted three of these here. Next year I'd like to be better about that, and to do more traditional art. That sketch at the bottom makes me really happy

i saw a post about wikipedia losing site visits to slop generators. some of us are on wikipedia like white on rice but i think it'd be fun to encourage everyone to start reading a random wikipedia article every so often. yknow, help out their metrics. learn random shit. click to get a random article!

what kind of article did you get?

a person (or a group like a band)

some sort of animal, bug, bacteria, etc (viruses can go here)

some sort of plant, fungus, whatever the fuck seaweed is,

a location

an historical event

some sort of device, contraption, vehicle, etc

a company, organization, government, etc

any type of game (board, table top, video, etc)

any type of art form (writing, music, theatre, painting, etc)

a scientific article

something that doesn't fall into any of the above categories???

Feel free to play along and put your number in the tags. Remember, it's a point for something you've NEVER done (not the other way around...kind of confusing.)

Anyway, I've done them all, so I got 0.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

[toskarin]

pirating all of your music and then buying a hat or something four times a year still makes you pull significantly ahead of the person who streams thousands of songs every year. it's not really a fair or good system for anyone

What a good post to reblog on bandcamp friday. Remember that any money you spend on albums on bandcamp today goes 100% to the artist.
