Valentine's day, asking for music submissions, please boost 

Hi fedi friends! I'm looking for music I haven't heard before, can you help?

My fembyfriend and I are planning a lovely romantic dinner for valentine's day, and I was hoping to fill the soundtrack with what folks on mastodon are writing and making. Here's my plan:

1. Ask for track submissions from y'all lovely folx
2. Pay/donate $2 USD per track for submitter's time and trouble (maybe like up to 3 tracks per person?)
3. Screen none of the submissions in any way, just download them and set up a play list
4. Have a lovely dinner with my partner and enjoy the strange, wild, wonderful art of mastodon

All genres are welcome, all instrumentations, etc, no need to try to make it romantic. We're expecting a little adventure. No need for perfect sound, a cellphone microphone in a quiet room is fine quality-- I'm hard of hearing, so my speaker setup isn't terribly high fidelity.

The music/sound does need to be something that you created, or helped create, and that legally, I can download. Happy to give money to mutual aid recipient of your choice if you'd rather. Links to specific tracks of yours on bandcamp etc welcome, but please suggest tracks rather than albums or discographies. 💙

Tech (goofy), Cyberia, mask mention 

So we gave up on media over temple, and instead set some wifi (wled) enabled lights and changed them via plan 9. Successfully, eventually. All six of us cheered when we got it.

Tech (goofy), Cyberia, mask mention 

Layer Zero, our physical space, has craft night tonight. We're all in very good masks, etc, and are up to date on our security patches.

We're working on setting up a media station, but realized we needed an os. Someone had temple downloaded as a joke, but that's all we had. We're trying to get it on the media laptop now, just because.

We are delighted, joyful children in a sandbox and this feels silly and fun.

always remember that being able bodied is a temporary state of being. able bodied people better start caring about the disabled quickly because you'll be one of us soon enough be it by illness, injury, or age 🤷‍♀️

1930s animation, racism, video games, link to article 

Have a link to an article about the intersection between classic 1930s cartoons, racism, and the game Cuphead. It talks about the harms of sanitizing art built on racism, and touches on the utter dearth of racial diversity in modern big-budget video games.

I found it helpful and fascinating.

Hello there,
I'm new here, so thanks for having me.
I like to think I make music but you'll be judging that.
I live off-grid and record on solar powered equipment.
Here's a little taste of my new concept album:

Cheers!

Hey, @scoots needs about $150 to cover the cost of a nerve test they need and their insurance won't cover. The nerve issue the test is meant to address (as I understand it) causes pain in their back and drawing arm, makes it very difficult to get things done, and measurably reduces their quality of life.

Would you please help out, by donating and/or boosting this post? Their art is beautiful and their commissions are open, if you'd like to get something back for your donation: ko-fi.com/bugpaws

A dear friend is opting for top surgery. Trying to make a care package for 'em - if you had a mastectomy pillow, would you be willing to talk dimensions with me? Lots of these are written by people who are donating them to cancer groups and I'm not seeing feedback from people who used them, and some of these measurements seem awfully one size, so I'd love to hear user input before I start sewing.

public health, immunocompromised and disabled, personal 

I know I'm just one person, but if you're disabled, immunocompromised, chronically ill, or have a kid that can't get vaccinated --

I care about you, I hate the tone society is taking towards your health and dignity, and I'm going to keep doing everything I can, and nagging everyone else to do the same.

It's not my place to tell you that you matter, because of freaking course you do.

Nobody gets to decide this pandemic is over.

And until the FACTS and DATA reflect that it is, I'm going to be as responsible as possible. I value everyone's life. :ancomheart:​

US free covid at-home tests, Medicaid, + 

Looks like Medicaid is going to be required to cover the free at-home tests.

I don't know whether it'll be covered up front or reimbursed. I'm going to call my Virginia Medicaid and ask how to do all this.

If you have Medicaid or CHIP, might try making that call yourself and see if you can get these.

Hey all, I have a sincere request. Please boost if you can.

I am helping some wonderful people in Merauke in West Papua learn more about their colonial past. I have always supported the Papuan people in their struggle for self-knowledge and freedom.

Could anyone who speaks Dutch please help me translate this text here into English?

I am going to then help translate this text with them into Indonesian. If someone knows how to translate Dutch into Indonesian, that would be just perfect!!

Again, please boost.
