Lordy I’m getting tired of the boosterism for artificiality. Is this what it was like to witness the invention of plastic?

Huge shout out to the material artists of the fediverse, the painters and printmakers and weavers and knitters, the photographers of actual birds and moss, the gardeners and composters, the musicians and bookshop owners, the crafters and shapers of human thought, the sex workers, the repairers, all of us here being our human selves, giving our human time, slowly and with effort.

Edited to add the much appreciated clowns of the fediverse. You make it great.
