#3GoodThingsToday #3goodThings

  • got washed and dressed this morning, ready for my delivery. The temperature is cooler than yesterday so my bathroom was easier to air out

  • brought my grocery delivery in and I now have healthy fresh food again 🥑

  • a phone call from a friend, which doubled up as free entertainment since they had a lot of drama to report. I did my best to be a good listener :blobcatcoffee:

#3GoodThingsToday
#ThreeGoodThings

  • the temperature has dropped (in the UK) and my zombie brain is taking the day to recover by doing as little as possible and napping

  • I took my latest urban sketch (now painted) outside to photograph it

  • I put a laundry wash on

Making a mini junk journal is the subject of my latest arts video.
I've taken what I've learnt from the YouTube paper crafts community and made my first journal reusing packaging and print from home.
Let me know what you think in the comments.

@mniejszosc@mastodon.art Mastodon loves really nerdy details, e.g. talk about your instruments, favourite music polls, ask for advice about kit, tour locations etc I hope you get to like the Mastodon geek vibes, as there are a lot of people here who love niche stuff and you might become their favourite niche Remember to use the hashtags (on public posts) #feditips #music

@evaknoet@spore.social We're also now in an era where authors are finding their manuscripts are being fed into Chat. It's hard to reverse that process if authors, editors and publishers are dishonest or apathetic about validating the publishing process. @susankayequinn@wandering.shop

@anthonybearles@mastodonapp.uk In my area, homes only have green, red, blue and black bins. Unless you're in a flat, as those are still allowed to use bags. However, the red and blue bins are collected on alternating weeks, except for the Christmas period where there's a new timetable and a lot of us start to lose track again. ♻️ :blobcatbox: #binception

@clive@saturation.social COBOL was my livelihood before web based systems. Years of keeping legacy systems going, like billing systems. Unsexy but reliable. The only problem was having to move around the country to get the jobs. I'd consider COBOL again if it was remote work.

@vera@im-in.space Yes, they will tell you (sociopaths & narcissistic personality types) they don't have any friends. They also are highly suspicious of other people's motives and don't trust anyone. Speaking from experience, yes, they damage relationships. But they blame others for that, and rarely accept responsibility for the problems their behaviour leads to. @ElleGray@mstdn.social

@leftyknowitall@mastodon.social @futurebird@sauropods.win The @archaeohistories@ohai.social acts like a bot. Is it? There's no indication that a person is attached but also no clarification that it's automated. Alt text is always preferable but I also tend to pass up boosting images that just use the title of the post, rather than a real image description. #AltText

@bigblen This. I don't think JKR understands the community that they helped create. I enjoyed reading the books at the time, as I like the SF&F genre. I would re-read them but I am also pro :transgender_flag: and the two don't equate to me wanting to buy more from this franchise. @inthehands

What are the alternatives for us that have the reach and ease of use at this point? After X, I started using Mastodon, some friends went to :bluesky: but that's about it. I'm waiting for another wave to join Mastodon and I can cope with going back to community forums but idk about others.

@phi1997 At first glance it appears that Krita is aimed at people who want to make digital paintings. My experience (10 years ago) of Photoshop was that it was aimed at photographers and graphic designers. I also tested out Illustrator for package design. Gimp presumably covers that group. So these programs are aimed at different niches? @tydalforce @DrPen
