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.

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.

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.

@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.

The world is better for your expressed ambitions.
