#Today I'm getting my act together in the studio, to produce a cover version of a favourite song for my dear love to sing to, in a couple of weeks time at a local show.
There will be no #procrastination, #impostorSyndrome, #selfDoubt or anything remotely #neurodiverse getting in the way, for I have spoken!
Please cheer this frustrated musician along a bit; so much to offer, so long held back by #executive #dysfunction
May nothing get in your way either 🫶 🧠 🎵

UK Petition - please sign and share widely!
Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership
Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.

Thanks for the heads-up, very interesting. I guess I've lived in a default CSG mode throughout my decades of messing with eg. POVray, KiCAD, etc. Fascinating to see different ways of making stuff. Much appreciated :)

I love Blender and I barely understand it. Thanks for some inspiration to jump back in and go off-tutorial!
I do hope to find some nice 3d functions to play with, and animate some parameter sweeps through them soon.
Nearly finished the famous donut tutorial.

Howard Jones: Conditioning
https://youtu.be/40xiN95ZUII
This song means more and more to me over time. "Well you're not... who you think you are" ... "We're so convinced of an identity..."
In my view, it encourages honest reflection on the idea that there's no separately existing concrete thing that we call I, me, mine, or self. The good news in that is that there's less to suffer when there's no great fragile ego to cherish.

Hi, is this an interesting case for #permaculture #design solutions? Is there anything about the problem that could be seen as an opportunity?

I feel it's the very artificial nature of money, and its unnatural ability to enable the taking of more than one's fair share of limited natural resources, that needs spotlighting and dismantling. It's a grotesque instrument of ecocidal power.

Lovely work. We seem to be feeding a lot of sparrows at the moment here. I've never seen so many close up before.

Calling people who write their own #websites by hand, or appreciate those who do!
Do you have a favourite #links page style? It's been ages since I've composed a website manually. I'm avoiding CMS for now, just doing it the hard way with #html and #css, but want to make an attractive table of links to other sites, and a bit of blurb about them.
Seeking minimalist style and maximum #accessibility .
Thanky'all

May I humbly suggest significantly prioritising building insulation.
Most homes leak far too much heat energy. I'm writing this to you from one now. I can't afford to heat the place. The owner doesn't seem to care that there's no loft insulation.
Please let's get maximum possible insulation as a legal requirement, and subsidies for deploying it? Comments welcome.

Spending some time pondering site navigation for my new website. Must reflect: indie web values, high accessibility for all kinds of browsers & readers, simplicity and elegance. And not be a pig to code and maintain.

Feels like #Facebook has nailed its own coffin lid, with an inescapable choice dialog window: pay us to stop the adverts, or keep being spoon fed crapola for free.
A desperate plea for money, I think. For whose pockets?
I was only using it as an idle stim between doing important things, and largely dredging up timewasting fluff. I can get my fix of wisdom talks more accurately from other sources.

What are the least exploitative ways to make money?
Or is that a duff concept, as money can then be used for destructive or restorative purposes?

YouTube largely gives me horrible theme park vibes these days. It shouldn't be the internet's sole repository of video. Its attempting to be that seems to corrupt it entirely. Time it was broken up, I say.

There are some questions right now that I'd love to ask a buddhist scholar-practitioner about, concerning the nature of mind, nonduality, etc.
Are there any such folk who like to try and answer enthusiastic novice questions? I don't want to go bothering the Dalai Lama (would that I could), but I do want some well considered discussion.

Good point, still true. I built my own pretty useless BASIC computer in 1981 (ZX80) which gave me a deep dive into nontrivial electronic assembly and learning an imperative mode language. Then by 1989 I was in college and the classroom was full of 386's running only what the floppy drive allowed, incl DOS. It felt shrink wrapped to death. The more recent success of eg. the Raspberry Pi at getting young people interested in programming from scratch again, is notable however. :)

Meanwhile I'm starving and facing eviction, while universal credit fail to pay me a damn penny despite having no gainful employment and am undergoing cancer treatment. They do not care. You don't exist unless you are a normal wage slave. Thankyou, country that I've paid into for 35 years.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche
"How Things Exist"
“... The concept of a truly existent I, of an I having existence from its own side, is the very root of all problems, all suffering. In order to escape suffering, we need to eliminate this root, and for that reason we need to understand the emptiness, the ultimate nature, of the I. ..."

Looking for recommendations for any iridescent or pearlescent type inks, that are definitely suitable for fountain pen use, if such exist? (I suspect the particles will clog the fountain pen, right?)
Otherwise I'll stick to playing safe with my dip pen nibs.
Pondering this while my main FP enjoys a good soak, ready for a drop more of the last of my vintage #Shaeffer peacock blue ink.

This is great encouragement. I'd like to get back into fountain pen writing, because a) I'm crazy about inks other than just black/blue/red, and b) it would do my post-RTA arm damage some good with rebuilding fine motor skills.
I hope I can find a replacement for the last of my ancient Sheaffer peacock blue writing ink. It came in a glass bottle with an internal lip, I presume for easier filling and dipping. The lid's gone a bit rusty over the years, and I'd like some more!

Squatter friends of mine in London used to make a strong case for letting homeless people secure and improve empty and vulnerable buildings, requiring occasional professional oversight when necessary. That might be worth considering. I've seen plenty of condemned buildings turned into vibrant community centres and art spaces that way, even if temporarily.

Enjoying some listening to some exploration of #Buddhist #philosophy of #self and #nonself at https://youtu.be/gSZjKKuvHEQ .
It's part of my quest for an antidote to suffering due to mortality, loss and gain, the inherent unsatisfactory nature of all things, etc. Meaning, if there's no such thing as "I" as we're led to believe, then I think there's hope for a more satisfactory understanding of how things really are, and what underpins all phenomena including my little lifetime..

I've got bladder cancer and I've no idea how much longer I'm going to live. All I want to do now is hang out at UK monasteries, permaculture communities, etc. and support them any way I can. I'm ceasing to be able to work to pay the rent and bills like I used to. But I'm drawn to contemplative and regenerative life, and enabling that for others similarly called. All sensible suggestions welcome, thanks.

Good question. As an engineer and a parent, my experience tells me that feedback is essential in any system aiming to achieve results. Yes and no, positive and negative, are two sides of the same coin. Neither should be especially sought after nor rejected, it's just steering data. Telling your kid just yes or no all the time is out of balance. If such feedback is administered in the spirit of it being in everyone's best interest, I don't see a problem. Give feedback with love!

Does a #Sudoku game for #Android exist, that doesn't insult your intelligence with chronic ads?
I'd #donate to that creator, rather than be coerced into paying to make the #ads go away.
