Tired of insta and etsy, starting my mastodon journey today!
So let me do an #introduction post. I make ceramics and porcelain in a small studio in Berlin.
Sometimes practical, but mostly experimenting with the artistic side.
German and English are not my native, so expect me to translate a lot.
When you can't do horses from the front, but it's medieval times, and it is going to take another 600 years for creative project managers to develop passive aggressive snide comment based forms of persuasion.
A long time ago, the worst project manager I ever worked with tried to get involved in a technical decision around database choice.
See, he had a set of demands that he told us were absolute requirements and in his eye this data store solved those problems neatly.
Except.
We talked to the people who worked on said database and we were not just a little outside of the parameters where they made such guarantees, we were way outside of what they were built for.
Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
I continue to be fascinated by the fact that when Jack Dorsey looks back at his time at Twitter, his only regret is that it was technically possible for him to ban the Nazis so people nagged him to do so.

I love the fedi only more for being the only place I know full of exasperated FORTRAN defenders. How can we insult the original word? Yea, when it was first written we were not yet even born! 🥰
My contribution to a student recital in Kolkata (no I did not travel) this coming weekend. A short bandish (composition) in #raag Kafi by my teacher Debashish Bhattacharya.
Kafi is parallel to the Dorian mode in Western music, but with rules for what notes can be "shaken" or glided.
The instrument is my Pushpa Veena, which is sort of a hybrid between slide guitar and sarod.
