I should get started posting stuff I guess? My main obsessions are ships and architecture. And trees. Trees are cool. Oh and robots. Here are some of those things.

@oceanclub So? Why should we care?
One of the reason social media loses the sense of community is big accounts taking over with the help of algorithms.
If big Twitter accounts who want to generate 24/7 outrage and make everything about themselves don't like it here that's a plus.
I'm seeing many of the people I liked following there (mostly 20-40K follower accounts) are already here, because they are not interested in perpetual monetization and chasing clicks.

A series of my favourite artworks of mine. These were painted digitally and inspired by shots from:
- the Art of Eliza;
- The gorgeous freely available shots from Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park's Flickr pages.
Credits for each park and photographer in the alt text of each shot.

When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.
