Imagine a group of lovely kind people who are knitters, crocheters, photographers, astronomers, musicians, runners, linguists, cooks, bakers, engineers, technicians, programmers, walkers, jokers, mycophiles, poets, writers, artists, embroiderers, calligraphers, dry stone wallers, graphic designers, game programmers, gardeners, gamers, witches, wizards, broadcasters, queer, trans, straight, seamsters, brewers, survivors, philosophers, etc. etc.

Oh, wait, no need to imagine

...that's you lot 🥰 ♥️

I don't usually put work stuff up here, but if anyone is panicking over the wordpress.com (not wordpress self hosted) disaster, I will help you!

DMs open!

This blue tit had fallen, I nearly stepped on it - eek!! It was literally just out of the nest, I put my hand down and it just jumped on 🥰

I held it next to a branch and it hopped onto the branch 🤩

I love the little birds so much, I like all animals, birds, insects etc, but these little guys, they are just unbelievably sweet and so tough it amazes me how they survive in this world, but they do 🥰

The same bird as previously described but now perched on a branch. It's deep black eye intently taking it all in, and looking at me. It seems super chilled out and happy.

Does anyone know any good resources for writing modern, ethical, inclusive contracts between businesses and freelancers working with complex setups that include multiple third party service providers each with a wide variety of license and service level agreements?

It feels like if should be relatively simple, but on adding any detail it quickly cascades into a blur of complexity and fuzzy boundaries.

Thank you!

Ooohh!!! For sale as a way to give my fund raiser a boost:

Original Roland R-70 Human Rhythm Composer Drum Machine with Manual, Original Packaging & PSU!

Box is a little battered, manual has signs of use, the machine itself is in great condition with just a few signs of use. Needs new battery, but will include a pack of four (I just didn't get round to it yet)

Last one to go on ebay went for £330 + £20 postage.

Open to Offers!

UK preferred, but will ship at cost 👍

Please boost!!

Okay... final call 😀

It's been a fantastic day; plays, donations, compliments - thank you all so much ♥️

All cash will go to a local food hub that provides hot meals to anyone who needs one - no questions asked!

If you don't have £1 to spare, that's cool, but a boost costs nothing - let's see how far this can go and how much Mastodon can raise for hungry people?

Is it too much to ask?

£1 or Boost?

Finding people here is like finding people in real life.

There isn't a hashtag to click called #myperfectcommunity it's a slow process, full of surprises and sudden unexpected encounters that come from casual curiosity.

I hope it never changes in this regard.

I don't care about numbers, exposure or whatever, I don't want the news, I don't need a group of like minded followers;

I like seeing people expressing themselves in a community of randomness undefinable by any reductionist hashtag!

Super impressed that the new bank Card from Nationwide is RNIB tried and tested; it has a notch and 6 raised dots on one end of the card so it's easy to know which is the right end to hold while inserting it into the cash machine.

Accessibility build in 👍

Christmas is an amplifier:

If you feel good, it will make things feel brilliant!

A good family becomes a wonderful family.

A nice party becomes a fantastic party.

Etc.

Alas, it does the same with the sh!t things too:

Lonely? Christmas makes it the loneliest time of year.

Money struggles - become unbearable at Christmas.

Challenging relationships - get worse!

But... it's over, you survived another one - good work 👍

You're doing really well!

Keep going... you're awesome 🕊️ ♥️

If anyone is feeling down and can't afford to buy any music today, please get in touch for a free gift 🥰

I made some sales today which is amazing; it is profoundly humbling and always deeply appreciated, but my music is free to anyone who can't afford to pay 💯

Thank you for a lovely day 🥰

Goodnight ❤️

Is there anyone to follow who posts on a weekly basis what to do in your garden to turn some of it it from a very wild garden supporting lots of wildlife into a space suitable for producing food?

Northern England, 300m asl.

I love the wildlife and the birds especially, but I also need to turn some of my space into food production and I am an utterly hopeless gardener!

I am looking for hand-holding, accountability, pressure... I mean I'd just like someone to just do it, but ... 😆

If a toot is a toot - which it is no matter what anyone else says 😉

Then a thread of toots is obviously a tootle 🤷‍♂️

You know, the sign of a great toot is that it's just tootling along 😀

For #PortfolioDay I would also like to share some of my synthesiser builds.

I love taking a pcb and a bunch of parts and putting them all together to make working musical instruments that people use to make music with 🥰

The photos below are just a few examples I have built all kinds of various things for lots of wonderful people.

A collection of four photographs showing a Feedback Modules 1-Bit Delay. There are multiple PCB boards sandwiched together in a really dense build.
Photograph of the 4U version of the Doboz Touch Sensing Note Memory module, Absolutely beautiful and a bit of a challenge as I don't have a 4U kit, but I managed to set up a sensible power supply and was able to confirm everything was working correctly before shipping.
Photograph of a custom build SynthCube kit DJ Thomas White Dual Lo Pass Gates module. There are two pcbs that are connected to the front panel with quite a few yellow wires. The wiring was fun.

I know on #BandcampFriday there are many artists vying for attention, but apart from the charity drive, I have not had a single sale for my stuff yet this year!

You don't need to buy, no one should be pressuring anyone to buy things, but a BOOST is free and I have the four major releases as pinned posts.

Please would you be so kind and go to my profile and boost all four?

And if you can purchase, know it will be very much appreciated.

Thank you 🙏

🕊️ ♥️ ✊

p.s. I am not kidding:
