@RexMagenta I think you will get a lot from the book "The Art of Tommie Soule." Tommie has been teaching people to paint in person for more than 20 years, and the book gives the reader a strong framework for understanding their painting, and answering the kinds of questions you have. Disclaimer: Tommie is a good friend, and I helped out with the book. I don't benefit from sales, though.
Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

@Sophie It is in your mouth, Sophie!
@eval I happened to be in Cardiff recently and saw one of these. I didn’t realise they were new, but it was nice to experience the relative quiet.
@johncarlosbaez @bsky.brid.gy Thanks for posting all this John. I was considering starting an account on Bluesky again, but I won’t for the reasons you remind me of. I had not come across the bridging before. I’ll give it a try.
@daringfireball if only we had the technology to distribute the same video to many places all at once? Perhaps someone should invent that!

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

@geerlingguy M4 Mac minis?

If you're new to Mastodon;

Follow people and hashtags, lots of them. That's how this place works, there is no other way really. If you're waiting for stuff to come to you it aint gonna happen.

Start typing hashtags of things you're interested in and follow them. Put them in your introduction and/or bio.

Start following anyone that looks slightly interesting. Follow people who boost a lot and anyone they boost that looks interesting.

Can someone hand this note to everyone that shows up?

@libbymiller fantastic! Enjoy! I’ll be after some recommendations.

Why is the vending machine so cross?!?
