As a general rule, I do not share links to non-fedi SM posts. I’m not in the business of distribution of substances to patients in rehab. We’re all here for a reason.
FediFirst, or nothing at all. This is the hill
I choose to die on.
Maybe an occasional screenshot.
Pre Orders for 1001 Accurate Memories Now Open
From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies
https://www.alexhead.com/bookstore
In 1001 Accurate Memories Berlin artist Alex Head presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate. Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy. Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.
There are no special giveaways for pre ordering. The goal is to increase the print run from 100 to 150/200 copies. Each sale creates proportionally more and more copies!

I just deleted #Instagram off of my phone. I had a daily 15 min cap, and rarely met it.
I used it for conservation/naturalist stuff, silly web comics and some stand up comedy. If you have fedi recommendations to plug those holes I’d appreciate it.
Also curious about your #pixelfed and loops experiences.
Love you, #fedi folks.
I’m a solidly #FediFirst guy. But @AirlineReporter still has a large and engaged (I assume? - I’m not there anymore) presence on Xitter. How would one go about posting on Mastodon, and getting those posts there, with a link back to the originating Mastodon post? Feeling like using mastodon’s built in RSS and some sort of UI automation since xitter API is out of the question? #madtodon #Fediverse #fedihelp
@swbooks What would you need to go all-in on Mastodon? It looks like you could give #mastodon app developers a great insight into what folk need to become #FediFirst
Looks like I was right. Reddit has started to undelete people's posts and are going too replace the moderators.
Fuuuuck them.
So glad I left.
#FediFirst
The whole Reddit thing just goes to prove that any trust you put into a corporate service is misplaced and always will be.
Their bottom line will always be about profit. You will always be a product, not a user.
This is why we need to put more effort and funding into services like those in the Fediverse, owned and run by volunteers who understand that what they are providing is more then just a service, it's a way to bring people closer together.
Let's all help to keep the #FediFirst
