Anybody have a recommendation for a Store-JSON-in-the-Cloud solution that's (a) cheap, and (b) not Google/AWS/Azure/etc.? I'm tempted just to spin up a mongoDB instance on a DigitalOcean droplet, but hoping to try a simple DaaS-type approach first.

#poemsofpresence
Peppered moth
OG survivor
of nights
outstretched
from London to
Atlanta
peppered speckles
dance on air
As a child
survival required
pretending
you were not there
Stiff as tree,
unseen
London
late 1700s

#poemsofpresence
Peppered moth
OG survivor
of nights
outstretched
from London to
Atlanta
peppered speckles
dance on air
As a child
survival required
pretending
you were not there
Stiff as tree,
unseen
London
late 1700s
Soot of Revolution
stained trees
Black
one by one birds
picked off
white moths
leaving streets
devoid of
form typica
Today
Yyur Blackness
Browness
considered the pollution
of our schools
Boisterous boys
in hoodies
eye rolls of strong
Black Women
SLANT
SLANT
SLANT
And don't talk about me in Spanish
nor look for you in Appendix B
and word play and soundscapes
sorry phonemes don't matter
after second grade
What you need is a grammar to argue
like the White Man.
But
BE the Soot
that darkens your wings
let your Colors sing
clouds of culture
raining upon
our bland
white
world
F*** Typica

Really tight rhymes and the political lyrics remind me of so many who have come before. Laying these effectively over synth drums palying with the concept of long delay followed by a bit of snare...
I really dig this album.

First cross-protocol post I’ve written. This should be federated, on Mastodon, Twitter and on Scuttlebutt (most of them automated). Once I can figure out Dat/Hypercore, I might start turning other parts off.
