Hello! AI generated arts will have no soul, they said... https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnPnGDEambp8UYKzndcUTpZa5y6fibKj3 As someone that loves live performance I don't think AI will replace bands anytime soon. This goes hard, though, and sounds better than 99% of new music IMO. #tunestr #soulful #ai #rock #music

Testing #Olas This little fella loves to come and hang out in my garden.

GM! A little extra blessing with this morning's run 🌈. Shortly after sunrise hence the golden light reflecting of the buildings. Have a great day!

I love Geyser but the recent decision to restrict certain countries and end the campaigns from those regions seems like it was pretty inevitable. It's just not possible to operate something like that as a centralised and regulated entity and also remain censorship resistant. I'm sure it was a painful decision to make, however. Nostr is an obvious fit for an actually censorship resistant alternative, though, and I'd also love to see Heya get built out further. Hopefully it gets more attention and usage in light of recent events. 🚀 View quoted note →

Pura Vida! Slightly embarrassed to say I'd slipped back into doomscrolling on the cesspit that is now called X! Feels good to have now totally nuked my account. Fuck that shit! I realised that even if there's a broader range of topics over there rn that I can't in good conscience continue to support Elon's freedom of speech larp. Besides, we need real solutions, and even if I found my views more in alignment with his, we're never going to get censorship resistant social media through a centralised corporate entity like that. It's just not gonna happen. Nostriches are the future! This place continues to build and grow, while that hellhole over there seems to be eating itself from the inside. I choose life! Will probably continue to be mostly a lurker tbh, but won't be splitting my lurking hours between here and there anymore. All those of you that are making this thing happen fucking rock. LFG!

This weekend my home town is host to one of the largest 🏳️‍🌈 Pride events in the world, people flock here to celebrate the diversity and inclusion we are blessed with in our local communities. Brighton has it's problems but I fucking love living in a place where freedom of expression is not only tollerated but celebrated. It's probably the friendliest place I've had the pleasure to live. Certainly in the UK. Being home to one of the largest LGBTQ communities here it's really not an unnusual experience for me to see trans men and women on the street, or to see gay and lesbian couples holding hands or embracing. It's a normal part of life. "Normal" people doing normal things, going about their lives, and not bothering me in any way while they do it. I don't come on socials much but increasingly when I do my feeds are littered with hate towards trans people - it's unnatural, they want to mutilate your children, corrupt your minds, burn civilisation and all that is good to the ground. Please! It's like me feed is constantly telling me that my neighbours are my enemies. I refuse to accept that. I don't really care all that much to go in to the science or philosophy of what is and isn't a man or a woman because while they might be interesting topics it's always more important to me to accept people as unique individuals and to interface with them as such. People are interesting and diversity is the spice of life. All I can really wish for others is that they find the freedom and strength to fully express their own uniqueness. 💜
