My contribution to #ArtTips:
Enjoy being where you are.
No you're neither Einstein, Napoleon, Jesus nor Muhammad.
But just enjoy being who you are.
Because if you fail to enjoy being who you are, you'll probably loose all the energy you actually *need* to become who you're actually *meant to be*.

I keep phase-changing between being serious and being silly... and too rapidly at that I think...

Is it okay if I don't follow as many people as I find so that I get followed by as many people as possible?
Because I don't want to follow as many people as I find, nor do I want to be followed by as many people as possible.
I've been traumatized by that game and I don't want to play anymore.

What Mastodon and tools like it offer is some ability to differentiate between what we keep between ourselves, and what we show to the world. That's a power that is often removed from us in social media platforms, who need to trick us to share information with them, and need us to expose ourselves to increase "engagement" and attract new "consumers". 10/?

To get away from that badly chosen name (who would use something called GIMP) and to create a new image manipulation tool, I started the Pixel Hoarding Layer Editor & Generic Manipulation library.

The latest ep. of the You Are Not So Smart #podcast on pluralistic ignorance is pretty great!
Pluralistic Ignorance = "the psychology behind why people don’t speak out against, and even defend, norms they secretly despise"
#socialpsychology is super interesting
HEARTS TOGETHER: Arabic calligraphy featured in an anatomical heart, illustrated using the common Palestinian idiom “All Our Hearts Together” written in the Diwani Jali script. The idiom roughly means “If we work together we can get it done” ... Artist: Everitte Barbee ...
Okay enough of this.

I Like (the promise of) Jigsaw, by the way. I could almost swear that I was among one of Jigsaw's 1st followers on Twitter.
But still though.
