I probably won't manage to make anything new for #goblinWeek this year but I will take the opportunity to share the collage poem I made last year, since it is still one of my favorite things I've made

#collage #poem

Collaged text on lined paper which reads: goblin time It's time to talk about goblins. You know, a little wild, a little green, kind of like Muppets? Well, they need your help. Goblins in our community are suffering, exhausted by the internet, and want to snuggle in for their holiday hibernation. Your support is crucial in helping provide them with year-round access to their daily needs: Cuppa joe weird radish Waffle a cedarwood candle Please donate today. All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. $15 can help feed and vaccinate a goblin $25 can purchase them a cozy flannel nightie $50 can help them receive a lot of weird new bugs Any amount helps! Wrap a bit of cash in brown paper and place it in ANY garden on a crisp morning... we'll find it.

New #collage #poem, about climate change and planting seeds.

This is the second poem I've made by collaging together bits of text from an old econ workbook. (I'm planning to put them all together in a zine when I've completed a few more.)

The first poem, A Bad Dream, can be found here: https://emmajuettner.com/posts/a-bad-dream/

Collaged text on lined notebook paper reads: The Logic of Individual Choice. Suppose you are a novice gardener. The television reports pictures of melting ice and flooded areas. Warm weather arrives and Southern California experiences unusually high temperatures. A small city located by a lake has been dumping its raw sewage into the lake. You plant one seed in a flower pot and watch it grow. Your friend says, "Why are you wasting your time? You can't provide the world's supply of wheat berries in your little pot." You cannot produce 100 tons of wheat per day. However, you do produce a stalk of wheat with plump wheat berries. If the weather gets very hot, what will most likely happen? In the long run, what will happen? The next year, you plant two seeds in that pot.

New #introduction now that I've set up my own server— hello, I'm Emma! (previously @emmajuettner@mastodon.art; I'll be migrating my follows over to this new account shortly)

I tend to post about knitting, making collage poems, cooking, creating generative art, mending clothing, tinkering with HTML & CSS, and reading sci-fi stories.

Day 30 of #genuary2023. Minimalism - This was the HARDEST for me, because I didn't realize how much my style is NOT minimalism lol. I have so many outputs from this that I didn't realize were "too much" until my husband said something 😭

An image of a white full moon in a black sky. Patterns of circular black lines texture the moon and white lines texture the sky.

reimplemented in #Processing with a few embellishments of #KineticTypography

Are the two spots fighting or are they collaborating over their shared creation?

piece: noise pattern 49

The image is a piece of art titled "Noise Pattern 49", by Jacquie Tran. Pieces in the Noise Pattern series are formed by blending layers of patterns on top of one another, using noise-generating functions from the "ambient" package in the R coding language. This particular piece has dark blue and neon blue swirls intertwined and overlaid by a yellow and red leaning checkerboard pattern.

About organizing on the Fedi around natural disasters, long

The Auckland floods this week got me thinking about how people organize on the Fediverse when there’s a natural disaster. This was easy on Twitter because it was centralized and everyone could see the important hashtags. But this doesn’t work so great on a federated platform. So, a proposal: hashtag-specific relaying.

Components:
• A bog-standard relay. Instances with users in a region (say, NZ) connect to it. Membership can be approval-only to prevent abuse.
• Instances don’t forward most posts to the relay, except a small, configurable set of hashtags reserved for emergency use like #nz000*.

Result: all posts with the hashtag get federated to all participating instances, helping people across different instances to organize.

This requires a change to Mastodon and other Fedi software. It could possibly be done right now without any changes by using a smarter relay but I think instance admins would prefer to be able to control locally what goes out to the relay.

Opinions solicited.

* Deliberately misspelling the emergency number in NZ to not clash with actual use.

A silly custom fediverse idea: a server with a fictional bus you can board (by replying to certain posts and then following the account - you have to board the bus for the request to be approved). You then can see posts about different bus stops, and can get off at different points and explore (follow new accounts you previously couldn't)

With an open activitypub API I feel like you could do some cool interactive fiction things

„The stream of emotions“

The famous dots of Yayoi Kusama and strong colors dominate the creation.
Only the typical strong structures are washed away by the river-like stream between the islands to create an interpretation of Kusamas work.

For the different areas I used Perlin Noise and the color variations are constructed by a mix of random and noise distribution.

Free interpretation of Yayoi Kusamas Dots and colors. Areas of blue and yellow are surrounded by streams of green and red dots.

Same as the main image but bigger „islands“.

Another variation with bigger dots on the yellow area and more green or bright blue.

Professionally, I teach students grades 2-5 technology like the block-based coding language Scratch. It's a great job. So for #genuary26 - I went with 'My kidS could have made that" and used Scratch to make my sketch today.

Day 26: My kid could have done that

For this prompt I implemented the sinuous meander patterns of Chappell. They resemble the bug-eyed, multi-legged monsters that my kid used to draw when he was little, all spirals and curves with countless appendages.

https://doi.org/10.1080/17513472.2015.1092859

Coded in #Rstats using #ggplot2. The code is in my #genuary2023 repo:

@usb_zine@tiny.tilde.website

hey tilde.town o/

this is the usb zine, a project started by me (@protodrew) with the goal of creating a monthly curated collection of art, writing, music, and more created by my local community.

The goal is to distribute via free 1gb USB drives locally and post selected works (with permission of the creators) on a website and gemini capsule on tilde.town!

really excited to meet more fediverse #zine people and learn a lot along the way!

Genuary day 25: Yayoi Kusama
I quite like this one. The goal was polka dots, of course. But I decided to stop short in debugging the fill around these dots. It’s more interesting than just a copy, I think.

For #Genuary25 - 'Yayoi Kusama'. Felt pretty timid about trying to copy a living artist, tbh. Polka dots, of course, but otherwise tried to not directly imitate.
