Habt ihr auch alle schon eure Kürbisse geschnitzt?
@owashii further to this, if your instance does not have a CW option, or CHOOSES not to have one, for reasons of eschewing "self-censorship" in favour of "freedom of speech"...
...find another instance. fast.
The last time we had a surge of users arriving here from Birdsite, a lot of artists mentioned struggling with creative block from the constant pressure to not just post, but post *correctly*, and keep up with the inner workings of the algorithms. They had built up feelings of inadequacy or low artistic worth from having to deal with these things and push against walls to get any visibility.
So we started #Mastosquiggles . Draw a squiggle, post it. No pressure, no expectation. Just a squiggle.
Alright video game folks.
I'm looking for contributors to a show about independent video games, homebrew, shareware, etc.
The less mainstream the better.
I'm looking for folks to do gameplay screen recordings, and folks to do commentary.
It can be the same person in both roles, or different people in each role, or just one role where we provide the other.
Eventually, I may also need an editor because time is short, but we can deal with that when we get to it.
So, do you want to play a weird video game in to a screen recorder and share it with a bunch of folks in small town Appalachia?
This is for #NETV #newellijayTV
I've learned that when you make a major change in your life, whether it's pursuing a new vocation/calling, or starting a new spiritual practice, or what have you, life will inevitably throw obstacles at you. There will be contingencies you could never have prepared for, because you've not been down this road before.
I used to think this is the universe telling me to alter course, but now I think of it as the universe giving me a dialog box: "Are you sure?"
If I am sure, then staying determined, continuing to learn and grow and push beyond comfort zones, and refining my approach as I go, is how I click on the Yes-button. Doing what I know I need to do to keep on this path, even on days when I don't feel like doing it, is how I click on that button.
There's no shame in changing your mind and altering course again. Clicking on the No-button and doing something else because you aren't sure is also acceptable option, and absolutely no one has a right to tell you one way or another which button you should choose.
It's also okay not to know which button to choose and to ask for advice. We none of us are alone in this journey.
