So I’ve basically quit twitter because Nazis just are not my jam. I had joined Mastodon (actually, the Fediverse) some time ago, and dusted off my handle and have found many of my old twitter pals (and I mean, more all the time) with a scarcely noticeable number of obnoxious reply-guys and spammers and scammers.
So there’s a Eurovision-style song contest there called FediVision, and I threw together a song in about 10 days to make the deadline, and entered. Last year there were 18 entries; this year, there were 43! and only 285 people voted. So we need to make this more popular among listeners/voters. In any case, I got an indeterminate number of votes <13 (they don’t go into details of those below the Top 5), but I did get some nice comments. And I put it up on bandcamp. Today until midnight Bandcamp is giving their fees to the NAACP bc Juneteenth, and I am giving proceeds from the song to MDLT.org because they do such great work to preserve our beautiful Mojave Desert. My song is about the climate catastrophe as much as it’s about anything. You can hear it here: https://bittersweetdb.bandcamp.com/, it’s called Existential.
