Saturday is

Use it to share your photos of statues. Please, no child nudity, I know they are statues but for a comfortable situation for all, please don't. If necessary, clothe them like I have today 🤩

@philomena @thekamikazen I have changed the name of the hashtag. This is the definitive hashtag. I promise 🙏

Schweppes building Madrid

I've played with filters and the original photo and in-between photos are nested below

My photo of the Schweppes building in daylight. It's a curved tower like building with windows all around it and at the top it has huge lettering saying Schweppes with a light display behind it. However, as it's daytime the light display is switched off. I've also played with filters to give a black and white with sepia instead of colours

    Tip 🧵 for those on small servers or without enough content in their feed:

    The fedi works by servers federating with each other to share content & people.

    There's no algorithm that automatically brings content to you.

    People need to follow other people & hashtags. Boosting is really important to help content spread across servers & for people to find it

    If you want more content you need to follow more people & hashtags & boost the posts you think others should see. 🙂

    It's no secret that I love music, especially metal, however, I also love the human created cover art on the albums too ☺️

    If you don't know Mark Erskine's art I recommend checking it out here: https://erskinedesigns.net/

    I found him while being curious about who did the artwork for Illyria's new album Wanderlust. I've only listened to it once but I have the feeling it might be a grower 🎸

    Just in case people didn't know, you have to opt in if you want your posts to appear on your & other server trending posts pages.*

    To opt in go to settings & select public profile, then select privacy & reach. Check the box Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms.

    *Not all servers have their trending pages on display to the public.
    Trending depends on a minimum number of interactions with each post. The exact number varies depending on server size.

    "Sehenswürdigkeiten / Wahrzeichen"

    Templo de Debod Madrid

    My photo of Templo de Debod, an Egyptian temple that was given to Spain to say thank you for its help in rescuing the temples and monuments from being underwater when the Aswan dam was constructed. There are 3 stone arches as a gateway before the stone temple which can be seen behind as a low square building

    I agree with you, door.

    The sign on the door reads in Spanish:

    No me empujes. Me abro y me cierro sola. No me sujetes ni me bloquees.

    Translated into English:
    Don't push me. I open and close alone. Don't hold or impede me.

    Photo of a closed Churrería stall, which is strange as it's normally open. It is large, the size of a small shop on the side of the road and the shutters has an art mural of urban Madrid with a tram going across the street, a building behind it, and the Metropolis building which is a famous icon in Madrid. Above in lights that are turned off are the words Churrería, chocolate and the name of the place, La Madrileña

    To those doing genuine efforts to provide alt texts with photos to include people who need text descriptions
    Thank you

    To those asking for help and giving help with the creation of alt texts.
    Thank you

    For those who 'no alt text no boost'
    Thank you & I have a request 🙏

    Check the actual text of alt texts before boosting, there's a growing number of posts with invalid alt texts. Single word entries that say for example 'cartoon' which are not inclusive.

    Thank you for making the fedi great 😃

    Metro station Hospital 12 de Octubre Madrid

    Edit for clarity: This is my photo of a mural in the metro station

    Photo of the metro station from the perspective of above looking down at the platforms and the line in the middle. There is a huge mural of 12 human figures, although only 6 can be seen as two pillars obscure the view of 2 and a further 2 are outside the shot as the mural spans so much space

    Photo of a bedside table with a coaster with a drawing of a Madrid on it. A lamp that's activated my touch and not a button, an art calendar drawn by Rike, a yearly planner that says Yay for 2024, the graphic novel Slaughterhouse Five and the paperback The Book Eaters and a box with earplugs

    Today is #BandcampFriday It is even more important today as it is the last one for 4 months 😮

    If you usually use #BandCamp sorry for the spam

    If you don't, please consider using it as it is a good way for musicians & bands to get a fair financial compensation for their music.

    You don't need to spend much, nor more than you can afford, even a song makes a difference as it is more money than the artist gets from streaming services
