Looking to connect with more filmmakers and video geeks throughout the fediverse. I make anarchist films, political docs, music videos, riot porn etc. I've been editing on Premiere and FCP since the 90's, trying out Davinci Resolve cause of potential paid work, but what I really want to do is to build a linux box and go full FLOSS - or as much as possible. Hi!

Hey folks, just FYI - Kolektiva is growing by leaps and bounds - YAY! But with that comes growing pains. Just bare with us as we adjust to the new volume of peeps in here. In the meantime, can I suggest that if there's posts from someone that you really don't like seeing, you can MUTE them or even BLOCK them. If they violate the code of conduct, by all means REPORT them. Just click on their profile and then the three dots to the right of their profile pic. Thanks! https://kolektiva.social/about/more

One of the dopest most uncompromising #hiphop artists ever has lost his home and all his belongings to a fire. Ant Loc and his fam need our help to get back on their feet. Please send money and good vibes their way.

Sutikalh is one of the longest running land reclamations in Klanada. For over 20 years they have protected this gorgeous piece of heaven from becoming a ski resort for hipsters. Now I know you have five bucks to help out the land defenders who live there don't you?

Killer mix of conscious #hiphop by #TedDraws - lot's of oldies and new finds too! https://www.nts.live/shows/TED-DRAWS/episodes/ted-draws-25th-august-2020

One my fav #hiphop groups dropped some new music TWO YEARS AGO!! Better late than never I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2xaV496CB4

I never thought I'd live in a world where Republicans and communists, nazis and hippies would find common ground. Yet it's 2022 and tankies and trumpists cheer Putin on, while new agers and boneheads join forces to fight for "freedom" 🤦

This mix is by Richard Devine helping me through a brutal spreadsheet construction. Maybe it can help you?

Days like today remind me to live every moment to the fullest, spend more time with friends and family and to not sweat the small stuff.

Sadly the left are not immune to conspiracy theories either. This type of knee jerk reaction is almost comical as it predictably happens every time that people fight back in ways that "progressives" and liberals don't approve of.

See below commentary by Gord Hill on yesterday's militant action in #Wetsuweten

The power and sheer relentless persistence of #Wetsuweten land defenders never seizes to amaze me!

Despite two violent raids by the RCMP,

Tech startup Brinc promises to secure the US / Mexico border, pipelines and prisons with its wall of drones, solar powered unmanned aircrafts that can interrogate "suspicious people" and even taze them.

CW the video is violent and extremely racist
