Experiencing Art
Moving my personal blog and a new RSS feed URL (goodbye and thanks Micro.blog)
Hey :)
This is just a quick update on this post- RSS feed changes
I’m moving from Micro.blog to a new platform.
- I am going to be moving to a new blogging platform this weekend (for my personal blog). Maybe tonight. It just depends how things go.
- The aeryn.me domain will be moved to the new platform too.
- The new feed URL will be at https://aeryn.me/feed/.
- If you wish to continue to follow this blog in your feed reader, you will need to add it again because I am unable to add feed redirects on the new platform.
- My Micro.blog-hosted site will remain live for some more months whilst I continue migrating posts. But will eventually disappear, I expect.
- I do not intend to delete my account (I want to preserve timeline posts) but will let it lapse back to a free account.
- I will most likely not be posting to Micro.blog anymore. 🤷♀️
- I am now microblogging on Mastodon and still adding Micro.blog folks there gradually. I love that I can continue to follow, although there does feel like some distance now, which is a shame.
- I cross-post from Mastodon to Bluesky too.
Lastly, although I will potentially write about Micro.blog again in the future, I just want to say thank you to Manton, support people, and the community. Thanks for making me feel welcome and being generally a friendly, supportive, and wholesome place.
Bye and see you around
Aeryn x
Edit to add: I think I may have figured out a RSS redirect at the new place. Not sure.
RSS feed changes
Hey,
I am migrating this blog (aeryn.me) to a new platform soon. And all existing RSS feeds will break.
I have set up a feed redirect on the current platform. If you would like to continue to follow my blog, please subscribe this new URL.
The new feed URL will be: https://aeryn.me/feed/
This URL will be the Atom feed address on the new platform, and should be a valid redirect until I complete the move. But I’m not sure all RSS feed clients will happily ‘subscribe’ to a redirect, or not.
So, if you subscribe and you don’t hear anything within a couple of weeks, please check my blog again. I’ll be posting RSS/Atom feed options on the new platform once I’ve moved over.
I’ve been listening to The B52’s tonight. It’s been awesome. I’m surprised how many of these I know 🎵 music.apple.com/gb/playli…
I’ve been watching videos about David Lynch recently on YouTube. Just clips mainly. And I’ve saved a couple of longform videos to watch about him later.
I was never really interested in him as a person whilst he was alive, but rather the art that he made. So I just didn’t really know much about him other than he’s just some director.
But the more I watch about him, the more I find him to be a very endearing soul. And the more I find myself falling in love with him.
I’m looking forward to diving into more of his work and getting to know him.
I just watched Koyaanisqatsi (1982) 🎥. An intensely beautiful film. I’m just blown away and have no words to describe the journey I’ve been on for the last 90 minutes. I feel like I need to be quiet for a few days to take it all in.
Sometimes art can change your life. This might be that.
Aaah. I love Billy Connolly. I just watched Made in Scotland. So good. So heartwarming. He’s part of my culture. I remember watching him at various times all through my life, pretty much. He truly has the soul of an artist. Very inspiring.
OK Go - A Stone Only Rolls Downhill (Official Video)
This is so cool. It’s mind bendingly creative. 🎵
I’ve been listening to this artist on shuffle for hours today. And he has no albums listed on Apple Music. But a lot of singles and EPs.
Just really beautiful music. Slightly eclectic. I was reminded sometimes of Hans Zimmer, sometimes Einaudi. There are field recordings in the mix too. Wonderful! 🎵
Wipeout was the game! I played it relentlessly and it was such a rush! The music was a massive part of that: tracks from this album, and the licensed music too. 🎵🎮
My soundtrack to the original PlayStation. 1995.
wipE’out'' - The Zero Gravity Soundtrack by CoLD SToRAGE (2023)
Episodes 4,5,6 of Arcane, S2: fuuuuuuuuck! Destroyed me.
Better leave it another week for the final third.
I haven’t seen Die Hard in so long. And I’ve seen the censored TV version more often than the original. I was telling my son about the iconic line censored and dubbed to “Yippee-ki-yay, kimosabe”. Somehow we didn’t notice McClane say it but we did notice Gruber quote it towards the end 🤣🍿
I remember watching reruns of TOS in the 80s. I think it was on about 6pm on BBC2. I was captivated by it and that was it. Trekkie for life 🖖 ✱
I think I’m under the weather. I’ve been feeling really off today. Shaky, uncertain, forgetful, scattered, confused, exhausted, restless. I stayed in and have been unable to do anything except watch Being John Malkovich. Which I was not as good as I was expecting.
Music to cry to. I’m so blown away by this album after one listen. 🎵🎧
