End of Solo Quarantine!
🕑 Added 2020-04-04 06:44:11 +0000 UTCHallo lovely Patreonites! I have finished my solo quarantine as of today. I went for a walk and a little run - I could feel my eyeball muscles stretching at seeing the horizon, it was so very very nice.
A lot of what I found hard work about being in full quarantine was the combination of no people and no outdoors - I feel so much more human just being able to be under the sky, and in front of the ocean.
Tonight/Today’s not-MICF show will run as usual at 9.30pm AEDT (Sydney Time) and 11.30am GMT (UK time). My guest will be the brilliant Cal Wilson. Tomorrow I’ll do a songs show, because I’ll be out of this very paper thin apartment and in a house where I can sing more loudly without worrying about disturbing people.
I know the time isn’t hugely convenient for those of you in the americas, (early early morning) but the things stay live for 24 hours up on my instagram stories at @aliterative before evaporating into the mists of memory.
I’ve been reluctant to do Zoom group shows because of some privacy and IP concerns, but if enough of you feel strongly about it, I’ll figure out an alternative to Instagram.
On the 17th of April I’ll be doing a live viewing party for the release of Savage on Amazon Prime with a super special guest. When I’ve confirmed time and internet-location with him, I’ll announce it here with due fanfare.
How are all of your times going? Can you see the sky from where you are?

p.s. Thankyou to all of the lovely people who talked to me throughout. It’s not the same as 3D real life company, but it’s pretty bloody good.

Hey Alice, if you're still looking, other options include StreamYard and StreamLabs, which let you broadcast to multiple platforms at the same time (ex. YouTube, Facebook, Periscope (Twitter) and Twitch) and will do things like allowing multiple guests at once, on-screen idents, banners, tickers and viewer comments, sharing your screen (if you want to show a video or something) and more.
Woo-hoo!
Love to you in these times

The most important question is have you managed to have a hug yet? Personal contact is vital for mental health!
So glad you came through your SQ safely and can get sun on your skin and toes in the water. Here in the greater Detroit area, the flowers and temps tell us it's Spring while we live through COVID already outpacing our hospitals. I'm breaking my rule about yet another social media platform by delving in to Instagram for this, and loved finding Laura Davis' #beansinthewoods through you.
I am in the UK. I do need to work around family, but I am sure we can make it work - the 3yo and 5yo are only mostly insane at the moment...
This is a great idea. I’d love you to talk me through it if you have the time and energy. What timezone are you in?
Oh so lovely!
If you want to do something that isn't Instagram you can stream to YouTube - I tried it last night and it is quite easy! If you have multiple people then you can start a video call on https://meet.jit.si/ and stream it to YouTube, where it is broadcast to the masses and saved forever. DM me if you want clearer instructions or just some help setting it up.
A little taste of freedom. I went for a 4 hr walk today, just to be outside. It was cold and it rained but it was great to be outside while i could.
I think I got sunburned!
It’s SO NICE
I hear good things about twitch as a place people who don’t have an account can watch. I didn’t realise you needed an account to watch live stuff on instagram. Sigh. The modern world.
Sunshine is the best. If you could find a non social media way of doing it that would be great. We don't do Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, or a way to use these without having to create an account.

Well done! Enjoy your release :-)
Congratulations! Enjoy the outdoors!
