Hey there. In short I'm looking for potential donors as I need a live liver transplant. I've set up a bunch of information and links over at - https://ginpuliver.carrd.co/
Even if you cannot help me directly, please share this with others. There is bound to be someone out there that can help.
Hi Mastodon! I'm trying to rebuild my business here because Twitter is bad now, but I need help sharing it. I'm a jeweler! I specialize in fused glass and particularly Pride designs. My work is available at https://www.nora.jewelry/
The Redwood City Public Art Program contracted graphic artist Damon Belanger to cover the city with these fake, painted shadows meant to confuse, inspire and amuse.
These works by the Finnish artist Anni Laukka are amazing and, when you realise what they’re made of, even more gut-wrenching: these are all toys and nursery items collected from bombed Ukrainian homes. 1/2

I absolutely adore the whimsical #art of 3D sidewalk chalk artist David Zinn. https://zinnart.com
Zinn creates delightful “works of ephemeral pareidolic anamorphosis” inspired by weeds, sewer covers, traffic cones & nearly everything he encounters around his Ann Arbor community.
Hi mastodon! I finally fully deleted my Twitter, so I'm going to have to lean on other websites, including this one, to promote my jewelry shop. Shares really, really help me.
HEY!!! Before you start buying holiday gifts and giving all your money to billionaires, here's a suggestion: This holiday season choose small, high quality, customized, unique gifts from artists here on Mastodon. There many amazing people here making paintings, prints, plushies, clothes and more (I do jewellery and songs).
You can find out our work through the hashtags: #art#handmade#fedigiftshop#shophandmade
Help others find our work through reblogging our toots starting with this one. ❤️
My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.
Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.
There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.
So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?
HELP: looking for sources on fascist aesthetics. Why fascists (Nazi Germany, other fascist countries, and current fascist movements) like minimalism, Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and architecture, and “elegant” beauty.
Hey I'm Alicia, an artist who really hasn't been feeling social media lately (especially IG and FB) so I thought I'd try Mastodon out and see if I like the simplicity of it more. I think I picked the perfect server, since I'm much more likely to be in my sunny garden than anywhere else. :BlobCat_Love: 🌞
It's my Birthday today 🎈
As a tradition I may request for sharing my work.
Thank you to everyone who supported me so far.
I'm looking forward to a brighter future. You can find more in my Bio.

For the last 4 years, the Tasmanian Museum of Old and New Art has been running an installation called The Ladies Lounge. Only people who identify as ladies are allowed to enter. In the lounge, they can sit in luxury and look at famous artworks by Picasso etc, which are not available elsewhere in the museum. They are served champagne and pampered by male butlers. It was meant as a comment on exclusionary men's clubs (which still exist in Australia and elsewhere).
Some dude got upset about it and sued the gallery for entry at the anti-discrimination tribunal. The artist, Kirsha Kaechele, said she was "absolutely delighted" that the exhibit had been taken to court. “The men are experiencing Ladies Lounge, their experience of rejection is the artwork,” she said.
She then turned the tribunal hearing into part of the art as well, by having a group of women observing the hearing dress like her and mimic her every move. They did not disrupt the hearing, and at the end of proceedings they exited the tribunal to the song Simply Irresistible.
Kaechele argued in her defence the Ladies Lounge was a “a response to the lived experience of women forbidden from entering certain spaces throughout history” and promoted equal opportunity.
The tribunal found against the gallery and is ordering them to allow men to enter the exhibit. MONA is removing the exhibit instead.
