South Park is a public service, and a national treasure

Introducing Studio Slowcore: a new Farcaster-native creative production studio focused on wordsmith arts and slow culture. 

Our motto: "Move slow and preserve things." 

Studio contributors:*
- Danica Swanson (founder, co-steward, channel owner, word-slinger-in-chief)
- @trigs.eth (co-steward, channel mod, wordsmith, community call host)
- @y0b (co-steward, channel mod, wordsmith, gift economics consultant)

In keeping with our slow culture roots, we practice:

I. stewardship
II. slowcraft
III. sustained attention

This week marks the first in our planned series of three Farcaster-exclusive mini-launches building toward a hybrid gift economy + business endeavor. 

I. Stewardship (channel hosting + gift economy lab)

Our team is excited to kick off phase one of our launch with the revival of the /slowcore-hq channel and the introduction of a new channel: /gift-economics (kindly gifted to us by @ted). 

Look for more news in both channels later today.

II. Slowcraft (editorial business)

We think there's an untapped market in Farcaster's social economy for wordsmiths (and other service providers) who work the slowcore way: focused attention to detail, commitment to craft, and health over hustle. That's how we leave room for "slow-motion bullseyes."

In phase two we'll launch our editorial services, including copy editing, grant writing assistance, and building custom editorial style guides. 

If there's significant interest and bandwidth is available, we may also consider reviving our editorial wiki project.

Further details forthcoming in late August (subject to change).

III. Sustained Attention (spaces for long reads)

We're building digital gardens and browsing rooms that cater to the long-reads crowd. In phase three we plan to publish this work in Obsidian with both public and members-only options, including:

- All writings for the FC-native journal project Deep Worth: Notes on Creativity, Labor, and Value, which spawned a thriving group chat.

- Special collections of essays and highlights from Danica's former blogs and Substack newsletters (including Of Hearth and Shadow, Endarkenment, and The Anticareerist).

- "Public domain art of the day" collections and moodboards.

- Dark ambient + drone music playlists from Danica's Chthonic Cathedral Project.

- Quote collections, AMAs, and nerd-snipe material (e.g., lecture notes).

We may also consider collecting and editing highlights from community conversations in our channels.

Further details forthcoming in late September (subject to change).

"Slowcore" is our superpower, and we think Farcaster's nascent social Farconomy is the best place to launch a collaborative endeavor that unfolds over time based on the way we work best: 

- Build slowly and with appreciation for craft.
- Weave our work into the network.
- Observe what emerges.
- Course-correct as needed until we find our groove: i.e., what Henrik Karlsson calls "form-context fit" (citing Notes on the Synthesis of Form by Christopher Alexander).

We know this unfolding will require patience, and we're here for it. 

NOTE: We will NOT be launching a coin. 
Not for our studio. 
Not for ourselves as individuals.
Not for our channels.

in honor of the state of this app, the state of culture, and state of the world, i am listening to my favorite album whose title describes where all these things are at today

*puts on tin foil hat*
crazy the whole schmepstein cat-out-of-the-bag moment with djtrunp could’ve been engineered precisely this way by daddy thiel in order to finally install the one brainless plant in the white house that would literally do daddy thiels bidding to the t
(supplanting djtrunp with the plant they installed from beginning; think elmo’s breakup bridge burning tweet referencing schmepstein wasn’t pre-approved by thiel(?)) some kinda failsafe that could also double as keys to the kingdom

is there a bigger bootlicking backpfeifengesicht bimbo on this app than @ ryanfmason?

who won the most off the bidding wars yesterday,
and why was it minizuck?

while i still kinda like him, find some of the bits funny:

Tim Dillon is really just a far more nihilistic poorman’s George Carlin in a Chris Farley body

‘social media’ is not democracy
(it’s not even ‘social’ media, it’s artificial; its quite possibly the most manipulative and sinister misnomer of our time)

it’s the largest surveillance state and unpaid labor system ever devised by man, nay, technocapitalists (at this point, technofascists)

technocapitalist social surveillance platforms were scientifically derived and purpose built for exploiting and extracting infinite sums of data from the most cattlelike & brainrotted population of humans the world has ever known

antimeme

it ain’t hard to hold
when it shines like gold
you’ll remember me

The masculine urge to touch an Escafil device from an Andalite and gain morphing abilities in order to turn into an axolotl and stay in the form for longer than two hours
