David ZinnMorgan doesn't actually listen to music; he just doesn't like to be distracted while he's dancing.
TroggieDo I know anyone who is knowledgeable about the Equality Act in England who wouldn’t mind me picking their brains?
Specifically the access to goods and services side of things.
Emily_S@tinker This! people can be amazing, the number of times I've seen people come into the repair cafe to get something fixed and then end up helping someone else while they are there is wonderful. Even people who've turned up early and help us set up the space when they could just sit there and wait.
Humans are a lot better than those with a vested interest in keeping us apart would have us think.

Cory DoctorowI'm a writer, so of *course* I care about words! But I'm a writer, so I also think that words are improved by their malleability, duality and nuance.

Mr. Funk E. Dude 🫠Making a sweet "Monkey bread" or "pull apart bread" today for my daughters birthday tomorrow. (turning 27)
I've never made one before but it looks simple. Not overly complicated. She also wants me to make a savory one in a few days, so this will be good practice.

controlfreakfriends, neighbours, fedizens, could you help me with some reach?
It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of he sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking. Last year I arted hard and I am trying to art even harder this year with your help.
Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.
Could you:
- Chuck me a follow and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?
- Mark your calendar to attend and maybe help hype and promote this weeks free #live online #concert where I am kicking off the new @nham presents series on TIBtv. 19th march 2100 UTC at @tibtvnowplayingbot . It's kind of a big deal in our small pond. The friends and colleagues hosting and the regular attendees are rad and you will love the #community vibes in chat. #joinIn and ride the #fediwave. You might even like the #oontz too!
- Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? Going to play some that I hadn't in last years' shows, plus sneak debut something from 2.0 at the live show this week. #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic
- In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game assets, loops and beats, physical installation space, remix, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.
- Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people.
- #boostswelcome these things OR EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my previous shows, releases, remixes?
All the above things are in bio and pinned posts.
Thanks for your help.
Let's stomp in solidarity.
