If you're interested in experimental weaving, community building, and unusual free/open source software, then this opportunity might well be for you:

👋 hello again

random thought:

• you should have forums for your hobby / subculture / open source thing / etc., that are not discord, and that are openly accessible in HTML online. you should try to make those appear on google and be like the place to discuss the thing, if that's at all doable.

• many online subcultures used to have a politeness norm of "don't ask questions without first googling it". this rule is obsolete. googling it doesn't work anymore. stackexchange is dead. it is very difficult already to find reliable information. you need to make it as easy and inviting as possible for curious people and newcomers to get used to asking human beings about the thing. this means tolerating common questions rather than replying to them like "read the FAQ/TFM/search the forum" etc.

• in fact, actively establish spaces specifically meant for people who are too intimidated to ask questions. in a reddit-type forum, do "weekly quick q&a thread—all questions welcome" kinda thing (it's less intimidating to post a brief comment than making a question post). do "weekly casual chat thread" and "beginner's corner" and "off-topic fridays" and stuff like that, too.

• and on the converse, actively discourage people from posting chatbot answers, through both forum rules and fostering forum culture. don't be aggressive about it but also don't be lenient.

Interdisciplinary work is the best feeding ground for imposter syndrome:
You haven't been in exhibitions for a few years, are you even a real artist?
You have never worked in a software company, are you even a real coder?
You didn't work at university during your PhD, are you even a real researcher?

Dafür, dass mir der Uni-Berater vor 5 Jahren hart davon abgeraten hat mich selbstständig zu machen, pusht die Uni jetzt plötzlich hart Ideenwettebwerbe, Ausgründungen und Innovatioinsgedöns.
Welcher Knopf ist da denn plötzlich gedrückt worden?

I'm very happy to share a public build of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay!

Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms. Handcoded in HTML, CSS and Javascript and running locally, it's usable for research, collection, game-building, website construction or simply to hold little fragments of digital things, in the same way that you hold a pebble in your palm on a walk.

It's still early, messy in a lot of places (and not chasing seamless UI regardless) but I hope you'll enjoy playing with it.

Hopping to the other side of the world tomorrow, so here's a last brew for a few days:
