You guys, after a day being nice to the olds, biting my tongue in more than one instance, I'm going to watch one movie tonight before my work week.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014), directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, a Farsi language vampire film. I have the Kino Lorber DVD version. It's in glorious black and white, it seems, and has an iconic soundtrack too. Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, Mozhan Marnò, Marshall Manesh, and Dominic Rains star.

#LuigiMangione Accepts Nearly $300,000 in #Crowdfunded Donations for #LegalDefense

“#Luigi is aware of the fund and very much appreciates the outpouring of support," said his attorney

by Tomas Mier , February 10, 2025

"In the press release about the donations, organizers noted “widespread support” for Mangione, pointing to the viral #FreeLuigi hashtag, which has led to a conversation around for-profit healthcare. (Singer Ethel Cain recently shared the hashtag #KillMoreCEOs in reference to the case.) "

On What #Crowdfunded #Healthcare Says About #Society.

“Crowdfunding … for the charitable economy, adopts the same ethos as the gig economy … success seemingly depends on [the] ability to hustle, work hard, and outcompete others.”

For my next read, a novel that I helped with the crowdfunding to cover the production costs and was rewarded with a signed hardback edition and my name in the back of the book #CurrentlyReading #Bibliophile #Bookworm #Goodreads #Unbound #CrowdFunded

I've had both bad and good experiences with #crowdfunded projects, but the #TuringPi2 is definitely a good one. They're continually working towards a better product, and I'm really looking forward to V2 of the firmware!

@aaronareed I really appreciate the care taken on a high quality reflowable, accessible EPUB. Treating EPUB and PDF both as first-class releases and doing right by each of them isn’t easy, but getting it right will keep mattering long after launch day — indeed for as long as these files exist.

What would folks think about a #Crowdfunded effort that every month bought an Apple advertisement in the App Store to drive downloads to one of the top #Mastodon apps?

"The advanced leveling accessory mentioned above is installed by default in the K1 Max. This accessory includes a LIDAR sensor that scans the print bed and develops a surface model of “one million points”. That’s equivalent to 1,000 x 1,000 touches for mechanical sensors used in other equipment. The K1 series also includes a strain sensor built into the toolhead. Creality said, "

Some have called the LiDar a gimic on the #BambuLab #X1C, so I wonder if #Creality only opten for this for the trend and hype or that they brought in their own design here and use cases.

Furthermore, their first printer with the strain guage was the #crowdfunded and #KickStarter #CR6SR, which I personally have. Although it simplifies the bed leveling process and I never understood or experienced the struggles of #Ender3 leveleing, it had its own problems.

Getting excited for the arrival of #ThunderRoadVendetta from #RestorationGames I backed the #MaximumChrome version, and hoping for it to arrive some time next month.
What #CrowdFunded games are you anxiously waiting for?

Apparently Zach Barth is back making #games! Long live #Zachtronics! Well, it's now #CoincidenceGames, I guess.

His first project seems to be a physical card game being #CrowdFunded: https://coincidence.games/the-lucky-seven/

Although I still mostly read stuff from the library, I'm trying to get into the habit of buying/backing more self published books from people I follow on Mastodon and Tumblr. "Be the change you want to see in the world" and all.

Which is all to say that I just backed this Kickstarter for "The Pits: An Illustrated Queer Fantasy Adventure Novel" and I'm excited about it, and you might be too!

My kid and I really loved the gorgeously illustrated seek-and-find book by the same artist, their emergency prep poster has been helpful to have on my wall, and I'm looking forwards to this book!
