Decided to rest and forgot my neighbors are having multiple trees chopped down. Napping is highly unlikely.

I work at a place where we have to lower the flag to half staff per presidential orders and at this point, it feels like we just need to keep it there permanently until something gives with gun control. We're having a mass shooting or multiples like every day. This is untenable.

A while ago, I read about the psycholgical effect that kicks in when someone tries to fight for a good cause, but then makes a tiny mistake.

We are very hard on hypocrisy because our brains like when things add up.

I.e. a climate activist with a plastic cup triggers much harder than Elon taking a 5 minute flight in his private jet every other day.

The first feels wrong, while the second just meets our expectations.

I can't stop seeng this everywhere ever since.

Look at the sky full of stars. ⭐

But what if those stars were drones, programmed to create a breathtaking light show?

Last year, on #EuropeDay, 400 drones lit up the sky over Toulouse to celebrate the EU's unity and diversity.

The display was spectacular, reminding us of technology's power to bring people together.

Our new European Drone Strategy 2.0 ensures their safe use and sets a roadmap for the future of drones in Europe, from emergency services to air mobility solutions.

One thing I for some reason lack of is a musical self-esteem. It comes from the insecurities of my childhood. Also some of the negative feedback I've received stuck to me forever, like the music teacher's comments that he will cut my finger off if I don't play the drums right or a bully who said I can't sing.

This is why I play piano, synth, guitar and sing on my own. I never let my voice be heard.

As a #Streetgazer I have released 11 songs in total over the years. I have 84 drafts I have never releasd.

This unmixed song is one of those drafts. I composed it in 2019. Nobody has heard it yet, but I decided to share it for you #Mastodon folks.

Should I master it and do a proper release of it? Or toss it?

This is your irregular reminder #Adobe are fucking dicks:

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

During my recent multi-week #overlanding camping adventure, I allowed myself ONE synth.

It was the ASM Hydrasynth. Why? (I don't actually hear you ask...)

Well, it's terribly powerful and I rarely use it. Maybe I don't KNOW it well enough? What magic is lurking in those digitally aliased cracks and crevasses?

So I spent 3 weeks alone with the Hydra and this is the first thing I created with it...

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!
