this looks fucking weird but it works! 🎻 I'm in the forest, wearing my acoustic violin on a strap aro
I can play precisely 1 song and the trees now have to listen to it 700 times
Also the shirt looks like it says "chips against fascism" instead of "crips against fascism"
instead of practicing I am now staring at music sheets and trying to figure out the alphabet once more. if this is D... then comes E... and F.... we're working on it 😂😂
wow I am 100% doing that again next chance I get. I had to give up cause my spine can only last for do long without a backrest but I got fully In The Zone
I don't even know what I did during that hour, like my mind just slipped into a different dimension. I was only practicing that one song, piece by piece, but that seems awfully repetitive for an entire hour? who knows! I guess it was one of the others and not me

wow I have progressed from trying to recite the alphabet to numbers ranging from 1 to 4... 🎻 if anyone were listening to me that would be so hilarious
like I am trying to establish the connection between blobs and lines and sounds and finger positions and letters and numbers and that *is* difficult but what I end up saying out loud is like "so this is four... no this is three. and next to three is two. and this is.. two? no"
trying really hard to resist the temptation to just write the numbers on the respective fingers

sooo attaching a strap to the head of the violin made a much bigger difference than I expected! this is awesome! because I can now wear the ...
this is what I did:

I used an elastic shoelace with a fastener,

and a strap with a clip that's the right length to wear around my neck.

wrap the shoelace around the scroll three times with the strap in between, and done! it is very stable and doesn't touch the pegs at all. ImageImage
I've found that wearing it like this allows for a better sitting position.

this was my previous position, I was very leaned back and let the violin rest against my breastbone and on top of my knees. it's very horizontal that way which is playable but honestly exhausting. Image

I checked that thread I wrote a few days and found not only multiple people calling me a pedo but also several queers misgendering me. good thing I have deactivated mentions from people who don't follow me because yikes
and the casual anti-queerness from within the community like there's absolutely no issue calling kinky queers "dogshit".

I'm too tired for this but wow
this is so far away from anything reasonable that I don't even feel attacked. I'm just exhausted.

how did we even get here? seriously, where did we go wrong?

I'm so proud of myself!! I think I'm doing alright for week 3 🎻
but I've realised that you can hear the noise of the bow on the strings even when I'm not scratching it and now I don't know if I'm doing something extremely wrong or if you can always hear that???
unfortunately now I have to find another song to play even though I really really love this one and I could just play it forever

as a CSA victim it always pisses me off beyond belief when people post this picture as a way to illustrate how they think that sex-centric and kinky queer activism is harmful to children.
the picture shows a little kid with a rainbow flag in a pink dress at a pride event, showing visible curiosity and touching the leather harness of one of several people on all fours dressed in nothing but underwear, leather harness, dog snout leather mask and wearing leashes.
there is nothing harmful happening in this picture. children can see barely dressed and - *gasp* - even fully naked adults without experiencing any harm.

there is no sexuality in this interaction. the kid probably thinks they're just especially weird dog costumes.

I think a lot about those different archetypes of queer people. you know the ones.

the handy queer who fixes everyone's pipes and furniture.

the baking queer who always brings a cake or cookies.

the knitting queer who gives everyone hats and arm warmers.
the gardening queer who will trade seeds with you.

the artist queer who draws everyone's profile pictures.

the IT queer who can definitely fix your computer if you supply coffee.

the photographer queer who will take the best pictures of you.
and then it struck me that all these things are about providing for your community, either for free or for an extremely low price.

and then I started wondering why the fuck it is so unusual in this society to have providing for your community be a central trait of your person
