I need to stop playing with vintage seeing machines long enough to actually sew… 🤣 #sewing

Work in progress. Learning so much and loving it 🤗 #embroidery

Sewed this fabric panel onto the back of my red denim jacket. I’m really happy with it and you can only see my sewing “quirks” up close 🤣🤗 #sewing #sewinggarments

First time ever attaching a collar - to my first ever jacket toile. The pattern has no instructions. Made lots of mistakes and learnt a lot. Fitting issues so will adjust the pattern and try again. It’s discouraging but l’m determine to get there eventually. #garmetsewing

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Hey, all. Two weeks ago, I got the unfortunate news that my role was being terminated as part of a workforce reduction. I wrote about what I'm looking for in my next role, and I'd appreciate a signal boost. charlesvillard.co/blog/ready-f...

yea the problem with poverty and food scarcity is that once people experience extended food scarcity that shit is carved in there forever. this was a major observable thing after the great leap forward and its resulting famine

The Queen Mary Harp (or Clarsach) dating from the 1400’s is one of the earliest examples of a Celtic harp, used to accompany Gaelic music).You can see it in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Two of my beautiful harps were serviced and regulated and back to their full glorious sound. #harp #celticharp #blueskymusic

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

My friends are more than 80% of the way to their winter hay drive goal - can you help them get to the finish line to feed their rescued farm animals?? You can buy them a bale of hay for just $8! donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

I first wrote this tune for harp over 20 years ago, and a couple of years ago retitled it and dedicated it to dear friend of mine. I have played and recorded it on different instruments but I do think harp is where it belongs. ☺️🌸 youtu.be/lvMubUINf-U #harp #harpmusic #musiciansky #MusicSky

A beautiful traditional Scottish tune, played on my sweet 30 nylon strung lever harp. After all these years playing harp is not where I thought I'd come back to, but got to go where the music takes me. 😊 youtu.be/4HA3ZYfOEwI?... #harp #harpmusic #CelticHarp #ScottishMusic #musiciansky #MusicSky

Looking for something else yesterday l found this old photo of my 22string and 30 string harps. I can’t remember where it was taken, way back sometime in the late 1990s #harp #blueskymusicians

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Hiding the truth.

Okay, real talk: I honestly think as many of our Blue Sky artists as possible should sign up for this, even though I'm not really associated with this radio project. The reason for that is very simple: @untidymusic.com is one of the people here that cares the most about the "local" music community.

If AI worries you, or you care about music or audio in general, this is pretty damn important. I don't usually ask for reposts, but in this case, this video from @topmusicattorney.bsky.social very much deserves it: youtu.be/VlKBpyjZU4I?... #musicsky #gameaudio #musicproduction #noAI #indiemusic

My next free library talk is on Wednesday, September 17th at Nunawading Library. As the Spring Racing Carnival approaches, I'll be looking at the history of Melbourne racewear in all its glory. Hope you can make it - bookings essential. circavintageclothing.com.au/2025/09/05/t...

Please do, it's an amazing sale!! #books

Just found Jakub Rozalski's art, there's a bit of history in it here and there but also some fantasy, but fun ; "Is it not the daughter of this woman whom we accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake, a few days ago?..." jrozalski.com/projects/w8b...

Hell yeah! 👊💥

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

You cannot change the algorithm in your favor. The algorithm works for the people controlling the algorithm, and they want you to hear what profits them, not what you will enjoy, appreciate or be enriched by. But again, the real point: YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE ALGORITHM TO WORK FOR YOU.

I don't always have the right words to describe my new music. This one: I wish the killing would stop. All of it. Everywhere. Then all we'd have to worry about would be minor injuries. #SkyoriginalMusicTrack #MusicSky youtu.be/BMkf7Fh6PoQ

Music for those dark days when you feel the world slowly sliding backwards, and you can't quick catch that occasional movement in the corner of your vision... #SkyoriginalMusicTrack #MusicSky youtu.be/Slc78vY31Rw

I love this

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

Not a lot to say about it, other than l liked the way it turned out 🤗 #SkyoriginalMusicTrack #MusicSky youtu.be/82as378Yz0c?...

Reworking another tune I previously recorded acoustically. Learnt a LOT with this one. Keep putting one step after another, and can't get enough of it! (Photography by me too.) #SkyoriginalMusicTrack #MusicSky youtu.be/CT_ne5Pv8Hs?...

Second cinematic composition/arrangement, learning as I go. This one is a reworking of a tune I previously recorded acoustically. Portrait of @csharpminor.bsky.social I shot some years ago. #SkyoriginalMusicTrack #MusicSky youtu.be/zN8jhD8VteE?...

New handle, same person. But different music. Take two of my first attempt at creating completely from scratch in Studio One. Lots of fun + I'm pleased how it turned out! Huge shout out to @csharpminor.bsky.social for all his support. ❤️ #SkyoriginalMusicTrack#MusicSky youtu.be/m-o06ORRbKM?...

Huge thank you to @csharpminor.bsky.social for surprising me with a new midi keyboard! ❤️

Tried the Kontakt 8 Player this afternoon, with the Gholem Lite plugin. I have no idea what l’m doing but loving it anyway! (Huge thank you to @csharpminor.bsky.social for your tech and all round support. 😊)

The best way to support your music friends is to buy their music, the next best way is to share it. A post, a like, a repost, a share costs nothing.

An early birthday present from my darling @csharpminor.bsky.social l’ve only just started it but already l think l’m going to love it 🤗
