Am I supposed to introduce myself and #introduction ?..I confess I have never known how to use the social internet properly and the Fediverse confuses me a bit, but I feel strongly in the need to carve out alternative social spaces on the Internet.

Welcome! Here you can shape things to suit yourself and your interests.
What kind of music do you make?@gardencat I call it freak folk chamber pop but someone else called it space opera in the straightforward musical sense.

So excuse any social faux pas on my part. I am an educator and musician in New Zealand with a passion for writing complaint letters, bringing the social sciences into everything and dreaming of a world where we radically take care of each other.
@Torithom kia ora!

@Torithom there's a proper way? According to who?
@desertsquare good question. There seem to be shared norms of behaviour that people pick up over time, but maybe the Fediverse is still developing little pockets of norms?

@Torithom
I am into enjoying and supporting live music, mostly all kind of jazz. I also love folk and big and small classical. -

What's some good local jazz where you are? I don't do live much because of health but keen to see Waypeople -Jack Baxendale (alternative/ experimental jazz)

@Torithom Was in a bookshop today and saw a book on the effect of music upon us. So often education systems marginalise the arts with no research to back that attitude.

@pinky I will! I've seen some of those posts and NZ isn't actually this cute quaint utopia (especially as someone who has never lived in a small town). But I appreciate the musings.

@NicelyManifest yes, I've seen a few books about that lately which I've been trying to get hold of! Especially where I am right now, as an arts educator advocacy for the arts existing at all is so prevalent. And yes, not evidence based grr.

@Torithom welcome.
The world is better for your expressed ambitions.
