TESTING FONT COLOURS

THIS IS A TEST POST An unwritten rule of WordPress is that if you are testing fonts and things you have to use text that could bore the legs off a chair. Here is an excerpt form “War and Peace”. It is a long and boring book so there is plenty to choose from. I […]

IS DIGITAL ART REALLY ART?

I know that probably sounds a dumb question coming from someone who is clearly on the digital end of the art spectrum, but real paintings are like holy monuments and gazing upon works by the old masters feels like looking at the real thing, while the digital art that I knock out on my tablet […]

STEEMIT

NOT QUITE WHAT IT STEEMED Steemit appeared set to become the next big thing in 2016, but sadly from mid 2018 on, it just gradually devolved into a steeming pile of bullshit.  www.steemit.com Steemit is a pretty huge subject, so I’ll leave the tech side of it for geeks to endlessly go on about. Here […]

BEING SIFTY IN 2021

UNCENSORED ALTERNATIVES TO FACEBOOK

Like many people who are trying to share content online but having it censored, I have a long history of checking out different social media platforms. I’ve set up accounts on a bunch of platforms and tried them out. Some I liked, and some I didn’t. Here are my thoughts on some platforms. Although I’d […]

IS PURPLE TOO GAY?

Purple Purple is my favourite colour. This may mean I am a lesbian. It has been said that most men are lesbians trapped in men’s bodies. I once was outed by NZ stand up comic Cal Wilson for wearing a purple top at her show. Ever since then I’ve unsure of my identity. I catch […]
