Remember my Salome score? ( this one: https://mastodon.social/@meganmariehart/117035717207273357 ) My husband spruced it up, and you can download it for free now from the International Music Score Library Project! If you’d like to see me tell the story, and review a copy shop in Darmstadt, check out the video!

I made a list of websites that offer royalty-free, human-made images for your blogs and social media posts. I’ll keep the list updated over time.
Use these images instead of #AISlop! No more excuses!
Please reply with additional sites and I’ll add them to the list.

#DoeiDag tip: ik hou van lezen & download regelmatig Engelstalige #PublicDomain boeken voor op mn PocketBook #ereader.
Zonder Kobo of Amazon kun je dan toch heel makkelijk gratis legaal boeken lezen.
De prettigste website voor Engelstalige boeken is @standardebooks Standard Ebooks:
Een andere die wat minder prettig werkt, maar ook Nederlandstalige #PubliekDomein
#boeken heeft is @gutenberg_org Project Gutenberg:
