We should commission more designs for unusual accordions 🪗 👨🏻🎨

Was looking at this Mondrian Accordion case years ago on the other site and thinking, “Now all you need is an accordion to go with it.”

And then researching further, there was!

€13,000 gets you a #Mondrian Accordéon to go with your Lumasuite case! (No longer available? 😢)

And ER waits are so long a lot of people might have been in there the whole time

More people, especially staff, were wearing at least surgical masks last time I was in healthcare settings here in #Vancouver

But unless they are properly fitted they won’t do enough to keep you safe from #measles

We could have saved ourselves so much trouble if Bonnie Henry had said the word #airborne and we had put measures in place during #covid

Ahh, so while print-runs could come across

Word from Etsy and my shipper ChitChats is that the tariffs have maintained the $800 “de minimis exemption”

Which means that small exporters from Canada aren’t affected (yet) 🤞🏼

I don’t have an answer

For now I don’t do much streaming. If we want to support musicians, give money to musicians. Bandcamp seems to be probably the highest percentage going to musicians, and they do streaming

But tons of mainstream artists aren’t on there, because the record companies don’t get as big a cut possibly?

✅ AWS is by far their main profit stream. That’s the boycott that would really hurt #Amazon

It may feel vital for people to harass mask-wearing parents

The alternative is that not wearing masks is endangering all the other children

For a #Covid denier to come to believe in Covid precautions, they have to accept that their former beliefs are causing the ongoing deaths of millions

Bullying is low-cost behaviour right now

With #MaskBans, making it more and more costly to be cautious

I should make some with pink stripes on the #accordion to sell in #Newfoundland

(#Canada humour)

Making some “This is an Instrument of Peace” #accordion buttons for an Irish accordionist to sell on tour

Keep having a paranoid reaction thinking I’ve made the Italian flag 🇮🇹 🇮🇪

Note the two-row #melodeon conversion which I promised to at least a couple of folks (hope I got the buttons right)

They’ll be available at my #AccordionRevolution shop

Anti-fascist versions still available as well 🫱🏾🫲🏼

I recently learned that the new #FastFerry here uses more fuel than flying between #Vancouver and #Victoria

I didn’t expect flying to be more efficient than water-travel, but I guess if you speed up the boat pushing it through the water costs a lot

So doing the math on these projects may turn out results we don’t anticipate

And long distance travel may end up being harder to justify

@strypey @Br3nda @tbaldauf

@Geoffberner explained to a European that touring in Canada is something like “Tonight’s gig is in Amsterdam, now drive through a blizzard because our next show is a tiny club in Kazakhstan”

@Br3nda @tbaldauf
And a book tour by train across the country?

Or to a single festival or event if there aren’t others lined up along the route?

There’s no way I can tour my #accordion book in North America 😢

There’s bands who have done tone tours by bicycle 🚲

North America is so damn big

Times I wished I lived in Europe 🪗.6

Author readings could so easily be virtual

But I’d miss talking with real people

Maybe pair local author events? Vancouver/Berlin

I want to say “On Mastodon, ‘as part of’ the fediverse“, except I don’t know if I have ever said the word “fediverse“ aloud

Voice recognition wanted to say “feta verse” 🧀

I don’t know what Spider-Man is, but I really want to be that 🐒

@siege
Might be inspired by Krazy Kat and George Herriman’s interest in Navajo art if one wanted to reach for meaning in surrealist history?

#KrazyKat comic from 1918 where the Black Kat has their tail curled to “pass” as a pig

Tail uncurls in the rain, they’re found out, and white Ignatz mouse (as usual) hits Krazy with a brick 🧱

Interesting because Herriman was Black Creole from #NewOrleans who passed for white and would have known all about hair straighteners

I hope the @internetarchive is documenting #TomLehrer’s historical act? @brewsterkahle
