Regarding my last post. "Art isn't dead, you're just stuck watching corporate sh**" (Disney/Marvel/DC/EA Games/Blizzard/ Activision)
I was talking with a friend about it.
90% of what I consume is indie media. Bcz I learned habits that allow me to find cool indie stuff seamlessly.
But it can be hard for ppl who are used to just consume what is trending, to just go off the grid with their media.
Maybe we need something like a "manual to abandon corporate media". It could be a Zine.

We would like to see more translations of scholarly articles, as the name of our group suggests.
One way to stimulate their production is to bring them inside the scientific reward system. We thus propose to publish translations in scholarly journals and call on editors to publish such translations and make this clear in the instructions for authors.
The call in English: https://blog.translatescience.org/translated-articles-are-research-output/

Autofocus glasses!
What with the inexorable march of time etc, I find it harder to change focus from near to far.
These glasses have refocusable lenses (from some horrible cheap dial-eye specs), a couple of little linear servos to drive them, and a couple of endoscope camera modules to track my eyes.
The focus is adjusted based on where my eyes are converging.

Important: Most local reporters primarily come up as crime reporters. These are pure access relationships that depend on a cop giving a tip about a burgulalry to one TV station over another. twitter.com/gaywonk/status…Corporate media — which benefits from a close relationship with police and is threatened by mass movements — is going to spend the next few weeks lecturing a grieving community about how to best respond to the state-sanctioned murder of its people.

on our lord and saviour
poppy has been warning us of our current covid times
1. in scary mask, poppy talks about wearing her mask, not taking it off, and urges you to NOT TOUCH HER. DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT HER. the man asks you "are you wearing your mask??"
2. in her latest album, released barely after the prc announced to the WHO, poppy has songs:
a.] sit/stay, sick of the sun, don't go outside: PROPERLY promoting physical distancing and staying at home
b.] BLOODMONEY detailing and questioning religious leadership during these times
c.] i disagree, urging us to let all our terrible institutions burn.
d.] concrete if we die, just turn us into something useful ❤
in summary, i am definitely not in a cult lead by poppy.

I liked this video quite a bit. It's definitely something I've constantly battled with - even though things are shitty, I _strongly_[ believe that we should try our all to change things for the better. The issue comes with deciding where to put one's efforts...

•Regarding Doctor Who, there's nuance. BBC is extremely pro-DRM. But Big Finish Productions who make Doctor Who audiodramas with the old Doctors & Companions, do sell alltheir audiodramas DRM-free. Basically the same show, but without visuals.

•Nando's Brain
•Same... kinda.
It's not a 100% replacement, but I just got used to watching "community made" content. Like webcomics, youtube channels (small to medium sized), there are several fiction podcasts and TTRPG series that are better than anything on streaming.
It's not the same, but those fulfill the same role.
Stuff that people make out of passion or a small DIY production is usually better quality as news sources, and fiction.
Nando's Brain
•I think it's better to teach *how* to find, then making a catalogue of suggestions. Those can get dated some day, it'll run out and people will just go back to what they are used to.
If people learns how to find what they like on the other hand... it's harder to do. But teach a man how to fish and all that.
Nando's Brain
•Most people I talk about this complains that they wouldn't know how to find stuff, so I'm interested in your perspective.

When I get a good understanding of this new way to consume media. I want to try and make a bunch of collabs with this.

•We pirate all of it (so at least they're not getting any more money from us), and it's actually all pretty good (especially compared to what was available in the 1970s-1990s), but still -- I want to shift more eyeballs to good indy work, wherever possible.
Nando's Brain
•And short...
"Just say you'll watch it later, you'll put in the backlog blackhole, or outright say you are not interested if you really do not care.
Peer pressure only work if you care about being pressured. You can choose to be absolutely indifferent to it. And talk about anything else in conversations."
Bears Shouting
•I saw one person say they’d rather play sims 4 than sims 2 just because of the graphics. Complain about the money. But some people do just want pretty game. Haha
It is what it is.
Plus I find keeping ones nose out of game media increases my enjoyment of games. Not sure what people think of the game and don’t know much about it, but my favourite games were all ones I never saw coming.
Nando's Brain
•If I'm part of a conversation that has something to do with my work, I'll drop a link and talk about it casually.
The trick is to not be shill and shove it on people's faces all the time. Be chill about it.
I got a chocking amount of donations on my last zine doing that.

•(Less drawing than a comic, more drawing than a book.)
I can't really call it a zine though because the vast majority of ppl don't know what a zine is.
So I just call it a minibook, or light novel for fiction.
"Author" Sam S. Darger
•I imagine a catalog variant of a zine could also work for artists and makers working with traditional mediums, who have art/stock to sell, etc.
I've thought about doing something similar myself, I just don't know many other artists.
Nando's Brain
•But with a bit of planning I might be able to host a catalogue of indie stuff that people can contribute on my website.
This can be a cool side-side project. To work on.
I can just put a big chunky QR code directing to it on the Zine eventually.
A curse
•Nando's Brain
•But I've been thinking about making a small discord channel where I and other creators can share or propose creative projects that people can volunteer to collab. May it be comics, zines and e.t.c.
It'll start small, and this can be my first project there.
Lex Tenebris
•A far better solution is to simply expand your circle of association and continue to talk about things you enjoy and why you enjoy them. And a link to where they can consume them.
Otherwise – why would normal people have a reason to care?
Nando's Brain
•Maybe I could make this like a zine on alternatives for people who are already kind of burnt out of traditional media.
But then it comes back to the point of how are the target audience going to reach this .
Alternatively, there was the suggestion of making something like an indie catalogue.
Which is a bit far from the original idea, but can also help if it is accessible enough.
Lex Tenebris
•Or, more succinctly, if you don't know who the real audience is going to be you can't actually reasonably design the publication.
Step one: imagine who the intended audience is and how you would have a conversation with them.
Nando's Brain
•The target audience would be people who are interested in finding indie, underground content. But don't know how to find it. So I would be offering a sort of starting point.
Lex Tenebris
•It's not.
Imagine telling people who don't necessarily know you yet about things you really like and getting them enthusiastic. Like your favorite art markers or brushes.
Where did the people you want to talk to spend their time?
Nando's Brain
•Like people who are in shallow waters online and I'd love to show where the good stuff is.
Ppl like that would probably be using netflix or trad social media. Probably on Twitter or Reddit.
Lex Tenebris
•Reddit posts might work combined with the relatively straightforward blogging solution; write.as would be just fine since it federates and has RSS.
The secret is being willing to go where the audience is.
Nando's Brain
•It would be great to find a """marketing""" guide for creatives.
Lex Tenebris
•Pretend that the people you want to talk to are human beings and proceed appropriately.
That's it. It also explains why so much of modern advertising fails to land in a solid and meaningful way. The people currently in marketing don't like or appreciate the people who have money in the audience.
greypilgrim
•I like movies but find modern ones usually disappointing. I don’t typically like shows a whole lot, except I loved Arcane.
Fiction novels are still a solid entertainment medium and I have a decent pool of opinion sources to find good ones.
But I don’t know how to curate indie movie media for myself. Is it worth it?
Nando's Brain
•For some stuff I'll probably have to find and ask other über hipsters that got tired to traditional media haha.
One thing tip I can give right now is to just look into stuff not made in hollywood. So webseries or international movies. Like stuff made in eastern europe, asia, and south america. Those TEND to be much less corporate.
Nando's Brain
•But I've saved your post and when I'm done with my current project I'll try to open source and look for people to share what needs to be done.
Since it's not really a "product" and I'll be sharing it for free. ppl tend to be very supportive.

•When my friends are playing a Blizzard game, I have to sit out. When my friends are talking about capeshit, I have to sit out. It gets exhausting if you disconnect from everything they relate to.
Nando's Brain
•Still, participation can be a choice. You can decide on what you'll participate if you have other options.
When you feel like it's all you can find you turn into a sort of prisioner. And the corpo ppl knows that they can do anything and you won't leave.
