Are there any photographers here looking to upgrade their camera? I’m selling my Sony Alpha a7RIV. Really good condition, everything works perfectly. I’m just trying to upgrade to the A7RV! #photographersunited #sonyalpha

i have chosen the pope that was in the conclave and which you were probably saving for an italian forgive me he was chicagoan da pope go cubs

rainy days are for writing little acoustic melodies fingerstyle

Today is the perfect day to do that thing

I don’t know if this is anything bluesky will like but I wrote a song about what it’s like to be an angry woman in a society that wants us to be quiet & demure & it’s one of the most cathartic things I’ve ever done in my life. It’s called Soft Spot:

Today is one of 3 days of perfect spring weather in New York

Last night I dreamt that it was fall and cold temperatures were on their way and this just further proves that my ability to correctly interpret linear time is utterly chopped

Please drop your favorite people to follow here on this thread!

the only reason I've been slow to adopt bluesky is because I really don't know many people on here from my real life. I am truly lost with how to find the right community for me. I love to follow artists, musicians, textile artists, nature photographers... where do I start??

starting fresh on a new social media platform means mercilessly blocking all the ai art I find

Hey bluesky, I’m Alex/ Honeycrush, singer-songwriter in NYC 🥀 3 years ago, I taught myself guitar after DECADES of wishing I had the guts to try making music. Next month, I'm releasing my first 6-song EP. I've worked through SO much ageism & self-doubt to get here & I'm grateful xx

Thank you for interacting with my posts even if you’ve already seen them. The way promoting art online seems to work is that the only sure way to fail is to stop sharing, even if you feel like you're being "annoying". Thank you to the ones who get it!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I've been stunned by the love I've found on here for my music. If you've enjoyed what you've seen, please consider supporting the fundraiser to help me launch my first professionally recorded and produced EP, Dogwoods 🌸 Lush, energetic indie rock with moments of laid-back groove gofund.me/ae32c2f8

Thank you, Andrew!! <3

Every podcast I don’t listen to is called “Achieving the Limit with Duff and Ween” and gets sold for 300 million dollars while every podcast I do listen to is called “The Movie Toilet” and begs me to buy a t shirt so they can eat food

one great band practice is all it takes to take me from feeling like a slug to an unstoppable force xx

If you're in NYC for the New Year, I'd love to see you at my show! My band is playing Arlene's Grocery Jan 6. What better what to spend that day than listening to alt rocky, folk-tinged, groovy tunes with good people? Here we are, waiting for you to say hi!! aftontickets.com/event/buytic...

I'm writing on substack and I'd love to share it with you. If you like observations on the creative process, absurd anecdotes, morbid short stories and vulnerable autofiction, please stop by Picking Daisies. I put some tea and coffee on for you xx alexandrajoyantonopoulos.substack.com

Hey friends, I'm thrilled & terrified to announce my band & I will be playing Arlene's Grocery January 6! We'd love nothing more than to play for you. This has been a long 6 months full of changes, obstacles & challenges. As Jeff Tweedy says, every band is a miracle. Hope to see u there! link -->

Hey it turns out, with a little distance from social media, I'm feeling so much better. Getting away from my phone is always going to make me happier than being absorbed by it. Hope you have a glorious day

Hey bluesky buds, I'm taking an indefinite sabbatical from social media. & I'd like to explain why. I've been posting nonstop for 3 years. When I first started sharing my journey of learning guitar, the hate & misogyny I got was awful but I was so proud of myself I didn't let it bother me (cont.)

Love this scarf. A good scarf can really change your whole outlook on the day.

Sometimes you just can’t make an idea work and thats ok. It was worth a shot

my annual notice: please do not, at holiday parties, ask someone why they aren't drinking if they turn down alcohol. reasons vary and are usually personal and very much none of your business. also, if you are hosting a party, have non alcohol choices for people who do not want to drink

Nothing goes harder than the techno at an airport sushi restaurant

End credits erasure will never cease to piss me off. I watch til the MCMXII, you cretins

So grateful that 1 little post reached so many people who support & love to find emerging, small artists. I’m working really hard to put a full album out, my debut album & it’s stressful & exhausting at times. Just wanted to share my gratitude bc your kindness & interest are helping me through!

Trans rights activists -- including Chelsea Manning -- are staging a protest in a women's bathroom in the Cannon building (a House building) next to Speaker Johnson's office. "Trans rights are under attack! What do we do? Act up! Fight back!"

I share the ups & downs of my journey w/ music because transparency is important in a highly opaque industry. Solidarity with other small artists & indie musicians feeling the financial squeeze right now. The holidays + regular music-making expenses add up & I know I can't be the only one stressed

idea: dogs that need sitters could just all get together and watch each other

Little Xmas tree attained

I love how the sun decides to do it’s riskiest, most look-at-me bit right before crashing out & going into hiding for the next 14 hours because that’s how I used to leave parties in my 20s

I'm slowly starting to see more of what I want to see here. It takes time to get your feed tuned up but now I'm getting lots of very clever, very kind, artistic people who love shitposting and it's great

[björk, whispering quietly] harrrrrdhkhorrrrr

never EVER EVER post a cheeky video pretending you don't know something about your guitar because it only activates the dudebros and they will NOT get it

You might not realize it, but so many people look at what you do and wish they could do the same. Even when you think you’re just going through the motions, you’re inspiring others. Give yourself some credit—you’re doing more than you think.

I’ve noticed a slight uptick in followers on Spotify & I want to say THANK YOU if that was you. It can be hard to reach people as an indie musician but taking the extra second to tap “Follow Artist” means when I release music, it won’t get buried, you’ll be able to hear it. That’s all I want!

You’re squandering your hot privilege if you’re not also trying to be as weird as humanly possible

they will see

I don’t trust anyone who’s never gotten an ill-advised haircut because thats how the deep learning and self-reflection happens

Muting: nebula

The older I get the more I want to walk through the world with child size wax swimming earplugs in my ears

I'm sorry to sound sooOooo annoying but persistence pays off

Since I got my 1st guitar 3 years ago, some incredible things have happened: 1. My 1st EP was signed to a cool indie label Dune Altar 2. I had a song in a TV show 3. Fender sent me this guitar! I’ve put all of my energy into music since I started in 2021 & I’m not slowing down ❤️‍🔥

Morning light is really something

Finally feels like windy wintery snow weather

How many ai galaxy pictures do I have to block before they stop

I think we need to put the más back in Christmas and embrace the Taco Bell live más mentality
