I wasn't joking about wiping tears to go into work. That's in addition to the knots in my stomach. Y'all have probably seen me post about my friend [@SabiLewSounds]( ) and her dire straights. Hurricane #Milton has elevated her situation to life-threatening. If a cat 4 or 5 hurricane was staring me down, my family would already be packed up and about to hit the road. #MyWhitePrivilege has even asked, "Why didn't those people leave?" before. How are you supposed to evacuate when you have no money, an elderly mom with dementia, a bunny & a car with no a/c? Not to mention having to leave your guitar and only worldly possessions in a hotel that may not be there in a week. If there is anything that you can do, can you please help her? 🙏 #Hurricane #WhitePrivilege #ArtFED #ResInt image

I hate it when I'm talking to myself and realize I wasn't listening and have to start over. #DeepThoughts by ADHD Handy
The panopticon will be stylish. Shot Chaser "Two Harvard students have created an eerie demo of how smart glasses can use facial recognition tech to instantly dox people’s identities, phone numbers, and addresses. The most unsettling part is the demo uses current, widely available technology like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and public databases." #Meta #AI #Doxxing #Rayban #Verge

You won't see me railing against alcohol often, but it's not for me. I would like to point out something that some people might not be aware of. Craft beer has provided an opportunity for lots (millions?) of people to think of alcoholism as a fun, nerdy hobby. Limited releases, numbered bottles, cellar lists & specialized glasswear are more socially than a junkie's kit but can be just as deadly. It's more than socially acceptable. Alcohol of all types are thrust upon us. At times it felt like a social obligation. Not only was craft beer a way to socialize & identify with people I normally couldn't. There are apps for keeping your list & rating them. It also felt like a thing that interesting, cultured people did. If anyone ever wants to discuss this in private, my dm's are always open. #alcohol #alcoholism #Beer #CraftBeer #TTJ
Speaking of #Community (not the show), what is one thing that can either bring a community together or drive it apart? Media. Music, TV, film & news Do you trust the #billionaires & their corporations to produce those things in ways that benefit & foster community? Hell no! :blobcatreeeeeee: This will be a thread about #CommunityMedia. Why and how we should make it. 🧵 The impetus for and some of the details of this are found in this free #zine. It is focused on #DIYTV as that is what ajroach42@retro.social was thinking about as he was launching #NETV but I would like to discuss how these concepts might be applied to other media. That means feedback from you & I would love to hear your thoughts. Need a kick in the pants? Don't want to do it alone? #ArtFED is always looking for collaborators and comrades. image
