Blackcurrant, White Currant & Meadowsweet Melomel Update

Well I had 5 furious days of activity with the Melomel, it nearly blew the top on the FV by the second day. Really didn’t need stirring that much. The addition of the fruit must have really provided the Mead Yeast with what it was after. So by day 5 it had really settled down so was time to rack into Demijohns to finish off the rest of the fermentation.

🔥 about making art

Send '🔥' for controversial opinion

First, need put context.

For magz: "art" mean most thing. It encompass a LOT what people do regardless of be "artist" or not. "Art" morally neutral and value neutral term. It not mean "good creations" or effective compliment ("now this, this *actual* art"). Art capable of do damage and be "bad" also.

Art is feeling, is making, is framing, is on whim, is interaction, is be alive.... is none those things also.

Which yes, mean that for some people, magz definition "functionally useless" as word, because not make difference or divide what is or is not art.

But magz not care for "function" of people* n their creations, not care for "production" / "productivity" n divide complications of person n human* experience into easy, when sacrifice wideness of meaning... whimsy. Not care for "so what is purpose of life/create?".

scribble on paper is art. realistic oil painting is art. humming by someone not know how sing is art. temporary mandelas pattern is art. fork in garbage disposal sound recorded for music is art. with different outlet, goal, effect.

If anything, is make easier experience art and critique. Of effect and if achieve intention (if have any), of what message it have, and "taste".

Is fine if not agree - this view is extension Magz view of life and general philosophy.

Over-fixation of what is and is not art, doing damage of creativity. doing damage with limit "when allowed" make art until "get better". doing damage of think what randoms on internet, art professors of art industry, of art business, anyone can decide what have value for make and HOW make "art".

So for make art... there no specific instruction. Can only give direction of specific kind of art of specific kind intent, or of morals of to please not actively discriminate or harm.

This why AI art conversation so annoying because of discussions, show willingness people have of throw others under bus (example: "collaging isnt art, AI art is like collaging thus not art", "copyright - which is decided by government - is foundational for art and integrity") for win argument online so infuriating. And having "art" as value judgement.

Feel very tempted sometimes - as Magz one that make general digital and traditional art, to abandon title of "artist" because is so charged and Magz NOT agree with way "art" and "artist" used as limitation, assumption imposed on self by other.

omg is hotel portofino rly that bad? 😭

you know how there's shows that are so bad that they go all the way around and start being good again by the power of sheer hilarity? well. hotel portofino is not one of those shows. it's just bad-bad. it's genuinely some of the most boring seven-to-eight hours of television you could subject yourself to.
