Final day in Winter Park. #artshowsunday
#ArtShowSunday
I'm still miffed about the pompous condescension from a former mutual yesterday, lecturing us all about the proper use of the Fediverse and how it should be strictly for news, and if you want to have fun or share someone's small business wares you should go back to linkedin (shudder) or the birdsite (violent shudder).
They decreed that they would be blocking anyone who posted or boosted about anything that involved the exchange of money, because this isn't the place for that (apparently).
This walking HOA's ingratiating viewpoint is there's only one correct way to use social media, and of course it's their way. They then use that viewpoint to belittle strangers online because the strangers have the audacity to use a platform in a manner inconsistent with the Fedi HOA President's beliefs. I disagree with their conclusion as well as their approach to the topic.
Personally, I'm fascinated with the ingenuity of my fellow Fedizens. I enjoy boosting posts from small business owners who don't own megayachts that require infrastructure removal just to reach the ocean. #ArtShowSunday was a surprisingly intriguing concept and I thought a great way for people to showcase their talents. I also try to boost Mutual Aid and fundraiser posts when I can based on my gut feelings on it.
And I boost the bloody hell out of shitposts because sometimes the folks I follow provide the only respite I have from nearly constant you-know-what ideation. That's right, friend.. my laughs from your funnies are sometimes the only fuel left for my flame.
I'm wondering if there are any existing hashtags similar to the FediHired or MutualAid tags, or if we could come up with one that would allow folks with delicate constitutions like this to filter out any unwanted creativity and joy from their timeline without having to belittle others in the process? #FediBusiness? #PoorEntrepreneur? #ImBrokeAndDesperate? #IHateSeeingCoolThings?
This concludes my rant.

@RickiTarr I make glass beads & jewelry from those beads. This is my display at the local library when I was artist of the month recently. BTW, I also made the display 😎

@RickiTarr Hmm, yeah... OK, #ArtShowSunday! Never shared any art before. Here's something from Nov 7, 2020 as we were just getting into that "pandemic"... https://www.deviantart.com/vanilla-vanilla/art/The-Sniverly-Brothers-Do-Time-Warp-860514302
HAPPY ART SHOW SUNDAY!

I just realized it's my Mastoversary! I'm gonna name a couple fun things from this year:
You all sharing your art with me on #ArtShowSunday
Beige.party Conference in Tampa! Thanks @Alice for arranging that!
Learning about all of you through the questions I have asked, I was gonna name a few specific ones, but then the list kept getting longer and longer, so suffice to say, It's something I've enjoyed a lot, and I appreciate everyone who's taking the time to respond.
Those few days where we all talked about the epic life and times of one John Mastodon.
I made a toot going over Eugen Rochko's various hairstyles, and he showed he was a good sport, and favorited the post. If I had done that on Twitter, Musky would have permablocked me.
A little extra shout out to all the Trans, Ace, and various other LGBTQ+ Communities who have answered my probing and somewhat intrusive questions with openness and kindness.
Getting to see all your faces with one of my favorite positivity cheerleaders @Mary625
A shout out to Beige.party administrator @theropologist for taking out the trash when necessary, not having to worry about whether something is gonna be done when the Hitler Youth show up is such a relief. Plus all the work he's done in general keeping the place up and running, so I could goof off with my friends.
OMG not having to see ads, the only time I see something for sale is dope art made by cool people that I'm actually happy to see!
All the beautiful photos and videos of nature with hilarious hashtags #mosstodon #ThickTrunkThurday and of course, adorable animals #caturday #bleptember
Alright, I was only going to do a few, but I did more. Honestly, the last couple days have been rough for me due to some personal issues, but making this list has helped me remember some great times, and that there will be great times in the future, so thanks!
The flower of life through my eyes.

@RickiTarr Hi Ricki! When I worked in programs at an assisted living home, I ran an art group and had an art show on my last day. Some people would say, "It's not for me," then I found them making amazing art and coming every week. (mid 2000s) #ArtShowSunday
@RickiTarr There's a lot of beauty in making abused closet walls flat and smooth again. #ArtShowSunday
HAPPY ART SHOW SUNDAY!
