y'all know that if you want your posts to spread you should #AltText your images, right?
both because
- some people don't boost uncaptioned images as a principle, and I highly doubt there's anyone doing the opposite, so you're missing some boosts
but also because
- #Mastodon's v4.2 search also works with Alt Text, so if you have search enabled for your account you'll perform better in searches if you caption.

“The two things I love the most are observing people and playing with colours,” says Bangalore-based artist Muhammed Sajid, whose vivid digital illustrations highlight personalities, garments, and visual culture inspired by his home state of Kerala.

A quick time-saving tip for both commissioners and artists regarding OCs with tattoos (and also complex, discreetly bounded patterns)

Improve your mask!

Cloth: Very Poor. Skip this. All we had at start but poor protection. Stops droplets but not aerosol. Rubs on nose so less comfortable.

Surgical: Poor. Designed for droplets, not aerosol. Loose fitting. Leaks heavily on sides. Rubs on nose so less comfortable.

KN95: Better. Respirator. Much better than surgical. Ear loops means there can be some leakage on sides. Proper fit doesn't rub nose.

N95: Best. Respirator. Headbands seal better than ear loops. Fit test for better protection.

Get a good mask that fits your face and that you will wear. KN95 and N95 can be reused. Assign different mask per day of the week. Good until dirty or elastic issues. Avoid handling front of mask after wearing.

Will you watch the show?

I want to share this #KofiShop from a fellow member of the #IndieSellersGuild, because he's recently started selling these door hangers requesting (or demanding, if you like) that no one enter the room before putting on a mask. (He's said that you can message him about getting them for less if money is tight.)

It was originally made for medical appointments at lax facilities, but you can really use it anywhere.

Sorry for the pause in posting! Here's a watercolor from last October, not something I do very often.

ENJOY!

Type of fae who steals your dotfiles.

A new face shows up in a NixOS Matrix chat. They seem new but excited about the tech and love talking about it and asking questions. After a few days they seem to reach a point where they're ready to go in hard on customizing. They start asking everyone "Can I have your nix.conf?"

Anyone who complies falls off the chat at their next rebuild as their homeserver de-configures itself.

No one pieces it together until talk about running NixOS on bare iron makes the suspicious creature visibly uncomfortable.
