Still not sure about content warnings. Not so much the general application, which I don't mind, but over-zealous enforcement.

My partner's on a profession-based forum on fb where many members know each other irl. A member was criticised for not using trigger warnings for a sensitively worded death notice about a fellow forum member. The thread derailed into upsetting meta discussion.

I can see it might be polite to use them, but sad if they become a tool to bash people with.

I painted this in 2020 and was contacted by NHS workers to see if they could use it in a march for fair wages. Of course I said yes.

The piece sadly made it into The Daily Mail and they linked to an auction I had for a master print. Trolls bid on the artwork and won it for £2,500, they never paid. Thankfully I have fantastic followers online and one bought the piece for that price and suggested making 2 more. £7,500 was raised for a women's shelter.

Just when he most needed to reassure the main revenue source, he instead sabotages the most important feature used to help establish trust between a brand and their audience. Instead of pro-actively gate-keeping entry into that trust mechanism, it was opened up to all-comers, and now they are scrambling to reactively deal with abuse only after the reputational damage is done. With a fraction of the resources. The whole thing is astonishing.

He's not a celebrity and he's not Alan Partridge, he let COVID rip through care homes when he should have been protecting the vulnerable.

What are the odds Twitter accounts with Mastodon addresses in the bio will get suspended?

I'm quite enjoying building up a network again from scratch.

It’s great but I miss the brands pretending to be people.
