I watched The Breadwinner (animated, 2017) yesterday, and must say that it was a real master piece!
A young girl in Kabul has to pretend to be a boy to be able to go out and provide for her family when her dad gets arrested. The inhumanity of theocratic rule is shown in a beautiful and deeply human story. Also: Female main characters.
Highly reccommended. #filmreview
So, I've been going without a job for the last 3 years. But I've done a lot of things which I feel adds value to society. That's the reason why I do them. Unfortunately they are not things that I can monetize. I've never asked for money for it, I don't really know how. But now I thought maybe there's a possibility here, if others also find value in my work. If not, I guess it's not much sense in doing it.
So yeah, that's the back story. Hoping for feedback. Thanks, all!
Guys. I've done the thing and set up my very own @Liberapay account. I'd love to hear what you think and get some feedback on it! I've never done something like this before, so any feedback is appreciated! https://liberapay.com/forteller/
Is anyone hosting a #PeerTube instance that contains only #CreativeCommons or #PublicDomain works?
I've been semi-serious thinking about committing to this. Free Culture, to me, seems to align with Free Software, and using products of the commons for the sake of preserving and distributing them feels worthwhile.
It'd be interesting to make such works available through federation, and maybe even store it in IPFS.
@mandart So cute! Thanks for sharing!
If you're looking for a #job and you've ever done #design work, a number of these are paid: http://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/
(and if you've ever done design work and you're looking to do some good, the gratis ones appear to be largely nonprofits and community organizations)
@Wolf480pl Good point!
How many snowflakes do we need to create an avalanche?

Martin Luther King, jr was killed on this day 50 years ago. His message to us rings as true today as then, and must not be forgotten! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP4h9SjoyUg
@domainhacker I want this!
@tiana_athriel You sound pretty awesome!
#introductions Hi, I'm an astronomer and data scientist at the University of Washington. I work on statistical methods for astronomy, including black holes, asteroids and the sun. I also play harp and take pictures of things (mostly waterfalls and squirrels).
@domainhacker I think that should be a p, not an m?
