I have to admit that I often forget about this feature of Mastodon myself, but it can be very helpful to the visually impaired to add a description to the image you post to Mastodon.

We like to try to include everyone here. I'm going to try to be better about remembering this. :)

Welcome to Mastodon.Art new friends! Glad to see y'all here :) If you have any questions, I'm here to help. I'm a mod and have been here a little while. I have some helpful toots further down on my page as well.

@Curator is also another great resource. As the owner of our space, he cares a ton and puts in lots of work to make this a nice place for everyone check out his toots for help. He's also quick to respond to questions. :)

Another helpful thing for new members to Mastodon: On the right side of the page you'll see a "Getting Started" list. If you click on "About This Instance" you can see our rules and code of conduct.

You will also find info about how many members we have, and other helpful tips. :)

Again, feel free to toot questions at me as well.

And @EmergencyBattle is another helpful and kind person, who is a mod here as well.

I'm @ScribbleAddict everywhere.

this smol cloud covered the sun as much as it could.

it's doing it's best!

Megapixels are a hilariously bad metric for judging digital-camera resolution. Measuring in megapixels lets manufacturers disguise tiny improvements as massive gains. Always remember to ask what the actual resolution is.

Starting to see how important community is. @ChrisTalleras made me realize how important it is to create a friendly environment for people to gather around art that we like and share with each other. We are the creators, we are the creatives. It's our duty to create these places for others and us.

I guess I'm in a sarcastic mood this morning. I promise I won't be like this all day lol.

Youtube: You know how you've been watching this video for 2 seconds? Here's a 2 minute ad in the middle of it.

Sometimes you scroll down the local timeline and see the same stuff you saw hours earlier today, which is actually pretty cool. Our instance is small enough that you can see and interact with almost everyone, and it's nice to be a part of something like that. And it's cool that we're growing too :)

Here's another commission that I finished recently! This is Storym, and he's a total badass \o/ I had a lot of fun working on this, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Sometimes it feels like my Dad and I don't have a lot in common. But we'll always have The Beatles, and I'm so thankful for that. 💙 ✌️ 💜

Looking into Ecosia search engine more, they use Bing and their own algorithms, but are not actually associated with Microsoft or Bing. All searches are encrypted and anonymous. So Ecosia looks pretty reliable and trustworthy now. Trying it for now, anyway :)

Since our new place has proper good lighting I've started to populate it with more and more houseplants. I just picked up the calla lily yesterday. They make me so happy!

You know what? I would love to go to something like TUX-CON or something. Like a big convention for FLOSS artists or something. That would be a lot of fun I think

I've just seen a bit late that IF has eventually posted a topic for the week => "sheep".
I couldn't miss that ! :)
So, here's a quick one for WA brothers in arms :

"They only lack the sheep to show the way..." 😜
