This from theatre company RashDash about not becoming an Arts Council NPO (national portfolio organisation - aka properly funded arts org) and the (insurmountable) challenges of making vital work and living a, decent life in the arts. Their honesty here is a gift ❤️❤️

Hello Mastodonners! The org I co-run, New_ Public, is organizing a learning session for folks new to Mastodon and the fediverse this coming Tuesday at 12pm ET. We'll be joined by the brilliant @cfiesler @wilf and @jeffjarvis -- and you are welcome too.
Noobs (like me) who want to learn and long-timers are all welcome. Sign up here, and boost if you're willing to help find other interested folks. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIvc--uqzIrGd3viRbTltC0dXmDkaidAJc-?_x_zm_rtaid=we6EIiy7SVC4ko6U7Unicw.1668089335856.e548e65efba05ec79cde9656bf3f20a1&_x_zm_rhtaid=249
Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Signal Boost: Enter the Fediverse. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
Just a reminder to all the new arrivals here:
These instances are NOT commercial entities like #Twitter ... someone is paying the bills for servers and networking, and the massive influx of people like us are raising those costs enormously.
Be a good citizen, checkout the "About this server" link, and if you can, make a donation towards costs.
