Hey, all! I’m a #musician, a #fiberartist, a #seamstress, a #book dragon, a #boardgamer and #videogamer, and in general, I never met a craft I didn’t at least want to try. Transmen are men, transwomen are women, abortion is healthcare, science will save us, and none of us are free until we all are.

Oooh, this sounds exciting!

No #twitch stream tonight, folks - I need a bit of rest and prep for Saturday’s IRL gig. Have no fear, though - I’ll be back to streaming on Sunday from 2-4 CDT to raise funds for Leland Iko Music, and then I’ll be streaming next week on Tue, Wed, and Thu! See you all then!

Playing it is not too difficult, but keeping it in tune in outdoor situations is the worst.

Hurdy gurdy, yes! Also called vielle á roue in French (wheeled fiddle).

aprylknight.bsky.social @aprylknight.bsky.social · 6h

I definitely have heard of this one, though I don’t have it myself. Might have to look around!

Join me this Saturday 10/25 10 pm CDT for a Halloween dance party, part of the Holocene Twitch team festival. Then on Sunday, the (Haunted) Night Garden at 9 pm. Tuesday 10/28, (10 pm) Isolation becomes IsoWEEN for the official Halloween stream - I will be off the rest of that week!

A square flyer with a black background. At the top in white letters reads, "A week of DJs, artists, gamers." Underneath that in red text: "October 23--30th 2025." In the center is a rough sketch of mountains with evergreen trees, in white, with a red circle behind it. Below that reads "holocene" in red letters and "fall festival" beneath it.

Flyer with a background of clouds and a moon in dark blue and white - inverted so the moon is dark blue - and a faint overlay of flowers and leaves. A pale blue spiderweb is draped across the top. The text reads (first line) "The Night Garden" (with an arrow inserting the word "Haunted" between "the" and "Night.") Below that is a line that reads, "ambient. ethereal. neoclassical. creepy." Below that "Sunday Oct 26. 9 pm CDT" and at the bottom, "twitch.tv/djellafine." A small drawing in the right hand lower corner of a cat wearing a ghost sheet costume looking scared (only its eyes are showing.)

I can’t even read this without hearing @wilwheaton.net ‘s caricatured voice of “the hypothetical reader” in the First Coda of “Redshirts”. (The bit where the screenwriter is complaining about his problem and mentions someone suggesting it might be his word processor that’s the problem.)

aprylknight.bsky.social @aprylknight.bsky.social · 19h

This is, as the kids say, goals.

aprylknight.bsky.social @aprylknight.bsky.social · 19h

This is it. The rest of the internet can go home now. This is officially the Best Thing Ever.

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the frogs
They are leading forth the unicorns & funny cats & dogs
They are coming from the rivers, from the ponds & from the bogs
Their truth is marching on
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Their truth is marching on

As well as #Spotify paying artists hardly anything at all, they’re now running ads recruiting for ICE.

If the crap remuneration for artists wasn’t enough to dump them, perhaps this is.

A selfie from Austin’s June 14 No Kings protest. There’s a crowd in the background and three white-haired, white people in the foreground. From left to right: my husband Sean (wearing a khaki/blue shirt & brimmed cap), me (in a yellow/red tie-dyed sundress, straw hat, with a turquoise ocarina worn on a cord, like a necklace), and fellow Chaski gal, Adita (in a cool turquoise tee & shades).

We tried asking everyone viral engagement questions to promote the hay drive. It didn’t really go well but we still need help getting across the finish line! donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...
