Art/design critique and encouragement
@moss@kind.social offers: Creative critique & external encouragement is a really great way to grow as an artist or designer (those titles used in the broadest way possible).

I’m less skilled in audio, software, & film/video. (I have limited spoons. I’d love to swap learnings if you’re looking for a lot of support! No AI.)

I can help you get started with recording music
@JessicatheVIArtist@kind.social offers: If you're just starting out with a digital audio workstation, I can help you understand concepts.

If you've got a website or app you're developing, I can also offer feedback on its accessibility to screen reader users.

Answers to Your Silly Marketing Questions
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io offers: I want to answer marketing questions that you have been too afraid to ask. The sillier your question, the better!

How do I make this without meat/dairy/eggs?!
@cthulku@zeroes.ca offers: I am a food dork with a couple decades' experience with both vegan and vegetarian (ovo-lacto) cookery, and I quite enjoy finding ways to make normally omnivorous dishes vegetarian. While I'm not one to build a homebrew Beyond burger, I have experience with a wide range of vegan proteins and preparations, as well as techniques and tips that I've picked up over the years, to make something that may not fool an omnivore, but will still be delicious! I'm thinking of more of a Q&A type service, rather than any kind of structured lesson, but every journey begins with a single step and all that.

How To Drink Wine
@lifertate@mas.to offers: If you've ever felt intimidated by the supermarket wine aisle, or wanted something better but not known where to start, I can help.

Don't ask an app what you should drink - ask me! Unlike the people in the app, I know what I'm about and I will not bullshit you.
