  • Thank your for your insight💕

    More damatic emotions get noticed more. But art can capture subtler experiences too.

    Of course, ‘everyone can be artist’. But wouldn’t the lack of the dramatic lead to a lesser chance of ‘making it big’?

    (Not that I have the desire or the skills to do that - I mean if I could spontaneously choose a super skill it would probably painting - just to probably mostly draw furry porn /jk unless)

    Pay attention to all the qualities of your experience and you’ll notice it’s not just the intense ones that have vibrancy.

    I will, once I get my brain in order. I am having a hard time recalling positive experiences right now, especially ones that are “vibrant” in any way. But I think that is the depression.

    (In my opinion everyone should try their hand at a creative hobby, no matter if classic or unconventional, and I am trying to find smething that ‘sparks joy’ but its hard right now.)






  • Honestly, just assume email is an inherently weak protocol in regards to privacy and work from there. So I would suggest getting the cheaper one that fulfills your feature needs and work with E2E encryption like OpenPGP (which also has issues, beware!). Some providers offer encrypting incoming emails with your public key. If you want more secure interpersonal communication look elsewhere (e.g. Signal).






  • Interesting to compare that to the ILGA Rainbowmap which just contains Europe.

    The european countries from the list above rank as follows:

    • Netherlands 13th
    • France 15th
    • Austria 16th
    • UK 22nd (below EU average)
    • Ireland 14th
    • Iceland 3rd
    • Switzerland 18th

    Now obviously they use different scoring (‘travel’ vs ‘living there’) but I think it is interesting that they differ that much. Also the groups differ and the one from the article seems pretty broad. I would hope everywhere with substantial progress in LGBTQIA+ rights would also have proper womens rights and protections as well, since it is the same side of the (manysided) equality-coin. Imo racism is still pretty bad and widespread across europe, so not sure how much that factors into the list (though if it would be a strong factor I would be surprised to see Austria and Switzerland on this list).
