Just a reminder, I'll be closing up my personal shop at the end of February. All my stickers and prints made in my actual house are on discount till then (shirts are POD). Since I'm the only one capable of working for the next 3 to 4 months (my husband was hit by a car), it'd help us out a ton.

US only (political crap prevents me from shipping to the EU):

If you're outside the US (or in US too lol), my redbubble and ko-fi will stay available as they're free to maintain:

Can I ask a favour?

If you see someone who is asking for help using this place, and if no one else is helping them, could you tag me into the conversation and/or link to my website https://fedi.tips?

I'm trying to provide unofficial tech support for people using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. I'm especially keen to help new people who want easy-to-understand advice, but they won't see me and I won't see them unless someone tags me.

Thanks 🙏

I hate the word content. Or at least the way people use it now.
It’s no longer a photo, it’s content.
No longer a video, content.
Not a travel story, not an article, not even a creative project. It’s content.

Everything’s been flattened. Art, noise, whatever, anything, into scrollable mush. It’s not expression anymore, it’s inventory. Creation now serves the algorithm, not the other way around. Everything’s a post, nothing’s a point. And just like that, everything’s been downgraded to filler.
