I’m honored to be the recipient of a Canada Counsel for the Arts Research and Development grant. Along with my colleague Michelle Coon, I’ll be travelling to Europe in March, 2026, to research the lives and work of Friedrich Dulon and Maria Theresia Von Paradis. They were contemporaries, classical musicians and composers who achieved renown in their lifetimes, who travelled to perform, worked hard at their art, and were both Blind. My interest is as a musician and storyteller. Michelle’s is as a music historian and flutist. As I think and plan ahead for our journey, I’m collecting my thoughts by writing them down, cause that’s what I do. I’m posting on Patreon. Check out my first post at this link. patreon.com/posts/dulon-von-bl…

One of the obstacles to understanding the #fediverse is the misleading language used to describe it;
"More than 100 apps are talking with one another in the Fediverse, including the photo-sharing site Pixelfed and the music-sharing service Funkwhale. Still, Mastodon remains the biggest. That’s partly because anyone can set up a server there using freely available software created by Mastodon’s creator, Eugen Rochko, and his small team."

Social Media Has Entered Its Chaos Era
Facebook and Twitter seem less relevant by the day. They may be replaced by new “federated” platforms.Annalee Newitz (The Atlantic)
"[Dan] Hon, the Code for America adviser, suggested that this could be an opportunity for shared-revenue models, in which servers offer micropayments to people whose posts are displayed next to ads."

Gross. Why can't most people seem to imagine a media system not funded by ads? Advertising, like carrier pigeons and telegrams (text messages transmitted by morse code and printed on dead tree), is a relic of a bygone media economy. Time for it to die.

"... every great community—even a nation—begins as an experiment, an idea that grows stronger the more we write and talk about it. Even if the Fediverse fails, it’s still worth doing. Annalee Flower Horne, a founder of the Wandering.shop Mastodon server, told me: 'We look at communities and say that if they end, then they’ve failed. But a community doesn’t have to be permanent to succeed'.”
