Heylo I’m new to Mastodon. I really like the idea of the fediverse as a way to assert our digital sovereignty 🇨🇦, so I joined Mastodon thought I’d try it out.

I’ve lived in Winnipeg MB for a bit now, and while I don’t dislike the Jets I must admit that my heart is with the Oilers.

If anyone knows some good people to follow to get an indepth analysis of any given nerdy subject, then please let me know. Those people would be fun to follow.

Listen to full albums, too.

Just listen: don’t just put music on as background noise. Pick a good album, and find a quiet place with a decent enough stereo or headphones (preferably not earbuds). Grab a cup of tea or a beer or a whiskey (whatever your sipping beverage of choice), get comfy, and really listen to the music.

When you were in grade school did your music teacher have you listen to music (say, “Peter and the Wolf”) and try to pick out the instruments? I hope so. Do that. Appreciate the interplay of instruments and vocals. Really listen to the lyrics (if it has them) if you haven’t before.

One of the tragedies of today is that people have basically all recorded music at their fingertips, but relegate it to background noise.

@stylus I changed from Spotify to Qobuz this January. Very happy so far. Qobuz is based in France. Audio quality is noticably better. Has Android app and app for PC as well. I think browser based was fine too.
Art is how humans tell other humans what it is to be human.

The first vegetable plants are coming along nicely. Aubergines, Lombardo chillies, peppers and now the first tomatoes too. #gardening #springtime #vegetables
Egal wo ich nachlese, wenn es um Autismus geht, wird immer noch von "Störung" geschrieben, auch wenn es um "hochfunktionalen" Autismus geht. Ihr seid doch alle bescheuert!
IHR SEID ES, DIE STÖREN, weil ihr nicht schnallt, dass eure verqueren Denkweisen nicht mit unserer Ordnung klarkommen. Ich muss nicht geheilt werden, ich will nur nicht ständig verarscht werden, wenn ich mal wieder eure komischen Verhaltenslabyrinthe nicht auf Anhieb dechiffrieren kann.

things are rather very not good in a lot of places right now. but there's also magic to be found, and peace, and the change of seasons and stars and fresh air through an open window.

this little nature spirit friend and i hope that you can find some of that magic today yourselves, and that things can feel ok in your heart again, even if just for a minute or too.

sending you all care, comfort, and calm.
