I'm actually kinda proud of my family bc this is the first time we've all supported a strike together. All of us use Amazon stuff now and then. But now we've talked to the kids about it on their level, and even they are participating. The family doesn't cross picket lines.

Finished. Another portrait of my dog.
Made with #myPaint and #krita

Finally, the fediverse icon mosaic is finished - and I love the result

Adobe Creative Cloud holds creative works hostage: if you stop paying the monthly fee or if Adobe's servers go down, you can't edit your work. Once you buy into the Adobe ecosystem, you're stuck there and forced to pay rent.

Pirates (matey)
Communists (comrade)

There's a culture of negativity forming on the fediverse, similar to other platforms. The instinct is to call attention to it and critique it, but that itself is just creating more negativity

I think a better tactic is to make a conscious effort to create and spread more positive content, even simple stuff like the plants you're growing or the meal you're having
