Friday night, and I'm playing a Rage Against The Machine live video, from 33 years ago. Which is on my TV connected to speakers with subs that sit on my shelving units at head height. 30 something years ago, and yet it all sounds so fresh and about this very moment in time. Take the power back. Take the power back.....
Aretha Franklin will always and forever be the greatest ever singer in human history. Period. Full stop. Point Final. Punkt Schluss. Punto e Punto. Punto y Final.
This is one of my "Elaborate Doodles" drawn with a ballpoint pen between 2003 and 2005, adding little bits to it at a time, without any plan. The only goal to fill every part of the paper. These "doodles" somewhat document moments in my life, thoughts and feeling, in a symbolic sense, and I can see now looking back that it was actually all a form of #therapy and reflecting my organised choas #audhd brain. I'll be posting more of these.
I've always drawn these weird doodles since I was at school. I can see now #ADHD is a part of it, where to keep my mind occupied I would half mindlessly doodle in my school books as a way to try and stay half focused in class. But I kept doing it, and 30 years later I still am. All these drawings, I have never really shown before, but I'm going to here. This is the earliest doodle I have, from September 2001, when the video of planes hitting the towers was on constant rotation.
One of the first things to do when setting up a new Fedicerse instance is Import block lists publicly curated by admins. It is a must for a pleasant experience. I have my own list that has followed me around different instances, based on Oliphant.Social lists, and grown from following the #fediblock tag. But I do hope to see Mastodon and other projects implement some kind of community shared lists that servers can subscribe to and automatically sync with one another.
#introduction Hi I'm Shye Strange; weirdo spooky boy, who likes to doodle the odd worlds and creatures that exist in my head. I've been around on the Fedi since 2023, self-hosting different instances as a single user, and now back on Mastodon. I'm going to be posting random weird art, cartoon memes, and elaborate doodles - alongside grumbling about AI and the horrendous state of the world right now.
