 halloween is such an anarchist holiday so many other holidays are all about “family.” shut yourself in with people you may or may not like. don’t go out. nothing is open anyway. respect traditional family structures. halloween is about community. go outside. meet your neighbors. share candy with them. nothing is closed. participate in this grand communal ritual with strangers. everyone hide your identity and trust one another. fucked up that people will call midjourney output “ai art” but call actual human artists “content creators” real “iceland is green and greenland is icy” energy there

 @jepyang give it 2 years and the output of human artists will be called “training data” and AI art will simply be “art”. @jepyang if "AI art" isn't art, then what the capitalists are doing is just theft, so they choose to call it art if "content creator" work is actually art, then what the capitalists are doing is just theft, so they choose not to call it art fuck - Packbats 🎒  @jepyang humanizing the artificial an dehumanizing the natural. cyberpunk af innit. Techbro admins: defederation hurts users! Users: no, we like it, that’s literally why we joined this server Techbros: it fractures the network! Users: yeah that’s the whole point Techbros: but when stuff isn’t built to cater specifically to my cis white boy needs, I mistake it for oppression! I am a victim! Users: *already defederated, talking about godzilla vs borg*

@jepyang OK, but what happens when mechagodzilla comes in to play? I bet the power of love will pull locuzilla out of the collective.   If the key to your infographic looks like this, you’ve failed #colorblind people. Seriously, if you create or publish any kind of data visualization on a regular basis, please find out who among your friends is colorblind and run stuff by them every once in awhile? Same goes for game devs, tbh. Ok here’s the true test of whether the fedi can replace Reddit. Can anyone help me identify this antique singer sewing machine? I’m pretty good at recognizing all the most common models, but a friend found this in his in-law’s house and it has me stumped. Boosts appreciated Edit: I know you can look it up with the serial number; I don’t currently have it. #sewing @sewing #antique #antiqueSewingMachine #vintageSewingMachine

@jepyang Also break harmless social taboos.
@jepyang amazing take.
Also you can choose how you celebrate it: watch movies and stay inside, go out trick or treating, dress up or not, food choice is flexible... Like there's a wide range of ways, suitable for different types of people. Not too uniform, very anarchist!
