The protests helped! "The European Parliament has decisively backed the suspension of a requirement for small businesses to appoint an agent in every EU country they ship to, to ensure compliance with waste-reduction laws." https://www.rapporteur.com/news/meps-back-small-business-exemption-from-costly-waste-reduction-compliance/

I still have to find the link for that info on Mastodon, for Elena is on Mastodon @_elena (She has so many accounts that I often don't find the main one.)

🧵 Fortunately, the PPWR doesn't touch digital arts, so you can get at least my zines: https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts/shop

Disclaimer: Please don't abuse this thread for promoting your own projects or for trolling. I already feel bad.
And I can't install alternative paying methods (for that you need a plus). In the EU, Paypal has bank status with tough regulations.

🧵 I find it hard to ask for help. (I know that other people are struggling too. Not everyone can join in.)
But I’m really struggling at the moment while waiting for my pension decision. This could take months, and I’m relying on min. social welfare for now. Unfortunately, the bills won’t wait, energy costs have risen dramatically. At the same time, the new EU PPWR makes it impossible to sell my art (I couldn't afford the costs for PPWR). https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts/goal?g=8

Clicking Quotes opens now to extern servers, that I have to put the URLs into search to interact with the original?
I can't edit alt texts?? (Or I'm just too bad to find all this stuff)

I just got a shock. I want the old design back!!! 😭
It was a matter of seconds, and the Design of #Mastodon changed.

Usually, I have nothing against design changes. But if it hits me so unprepared that I think my browser has a bug ...
A real bug is that I have to make an extra click for writing a post now and get a much too small pop up field down at the right (not at eye's height)! I have to search for notifications ... it's less intuitive than before.

@MastodonEngineering @Mastodon @staff

It took longer than I thought, perhaps I had lost that wibbly wobbly stuff for some days. 😂
But now I published my thoughts about the weird feelings of #time when we feel overwhelmed. And how to get our timey-wimey stuff back:

Yes, we can debate now if wolves invented #StandingStones by marking and how you find your #tree. 😁

🧵 A new project for our #museum animations (a table with volunteers working on different embroidery ideas. Everybody is invited to ask curious questions or to learn how to stitch.)

#Embroidery on gauze and/or paper for an #artBook. Working title: Blessures - injuries - Verletzungen. I'll add the coming photos as a thread.

@Tutanota Unfortunately, one of your security features makes things difficult for people who aren’t very tech-savvy! All external accounts (like Gmail) require a password to access my emails. That might be too much for many people to handle. Or just too much work.
Most people will stick with convenient methods.

I was only using my #Gmail account for my planning work as a volunteer because the person in charge had issues with my former email account. She *ignored all* my notifications about my new @Tutanota account and kept sending emails to Gmail. I also sent her this link: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list
No reaction.

I’ve just pulled the plug, deleted Gmail. Now I’m curious to see what happens. Some people have to learn it the hard way.

Are you on #Bluesky and do you like to make some activism and publicity for the #Fediverse and #Mastodon? Here's a good place to comment and be seen: https://bsky.app/profile/theguardian.com/post/3mesluqen4k2o

I love changing my #perspective by slipping into the most impossible roles. It helps me see everyday things with new eyes. When I became this cute little green #alien, this is the result:

🐸 a downloadable mini #zine as #HowTo #shift your perspective: https://ko-fi.com/s/700d3d3138

🌱 a photo reportage about a #space #moss #expedition: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/d242349d-fa59-4af8-a834-c93d580a4039

This photo reportage is genuine, created in a real Homo sapiens brain, and produced without any AI rubbish: an #expedition to a distant #planet where strong evidence of life had been found: the planet Elder 0815, part of the famous Mosslich-system. ▶️ https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/d242349d-fa59-4af8-a834-c93d580a4039
