Avi C Engel, ‘Mote’ (2025)

Eight gorgeous, atmospheric songs from this Canadian artist released on folk and folk-adjacent UK label, Fenny Compton. There are only 2 of these elegant book-bound CDs left as I type, and a few regular CDs (link: fennycompton.bandcamp.com/album/fc8-mote)

A re-introduction 👋

I'm an independent non-binary artist, & I write songs that are sort of like films or sculptures. I have an album out now on @woodfordhalse.bsky.social and a soundtrack for winter solstice coming soon on @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social

Bold discovery of 2025: using a pet shampoo bar on my own hair. It's way cheaper, and has better ingredients than all of those bougie human shampoo bars that look like cake. Getting in touch with my inner beast I guess 🐺

where does a moth go when it rains?
to a hidden place
where does a moth go when it rains?
to a thimble-like cave

ink drop eyes
wings of autumn lace
in bright moonlight
you'll soar again

Since the sale of Bandcamp & ensuing layoffs I went from having several albums featured on New & Noteable to having no email responses from their staff. That + evil social media algorithm shit has been a one-two punch. Thanks to people who support indie artists. It was bad, it's gotten really bad.

Did you know that trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are?

On this annual Transgender Day of Resilience (TDOR), we’re sharing our resource on Long COVID in trans people.

Created with @longcovidjustice.org

longcovidjustice.org/lc-in-trans-people
A purple and teal ombre background has large blue title text that says: “Long COVID Trans People: Navigating Across Gender Clinics and Long COVID Care.” Below this is an illustration of a trans person with brown chair and short pink hair and pink high heels, sitting in a purple wheelchair with a big glowing pink heart in their arms. The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE. A series by The Sick Times x Long COVID Justice." Aqua and purple gradient background with white text boxes and black text that says: “Trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are. According to one survey, over 27% of trans adults reported ever experiencing Long COVID as of September 2024, compared to 14% of cis men and 22% of cis women.” There is a graphic showing bars of various lengths to represent these percentages. Additional text says: “More research is needed. Some advocates suggest lower income and less access to healthcare among trans people could contribute to this pattern.” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE.“ Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Options for talking to providers, continued.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “You can also request a referral to a Long COVID clinic, or another specialist who understands and sees people with Long COVID and related diseases. If possible, ask people in your community about recommendations for these providers. Note that not all Long COVID clinics are familiar with treating trans people.” Below this a green organic shape has black text that says: “Directories of Long COVID clinics, COVID-informed doctors, and more: Additional text includes the link to the webpage: “longcovidjustice.org/connect” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE." Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Look out for more research.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “Some research suggests that sex hormones could influence the body’s immune response, which might affect the severity or symptoms of Long COVID. For example, one preprint (not yet peer reviewed) found that people with lower levels of testosterone were more likely to have worse Long COVID symptoms. This article includes more info about sex hormones and the immune system. More research is needed to better understand why trans people may be more at risk for Long COVID and to develop treatments.” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE."

Consciousness of death & finitude is the unanswerable human ache that gives rise to and permeates so much art. This illuminates yet another failure inherent in AI "art" - the attempt to evade death with illusions of infinity and plenty.

Narrative of waiting to "be discovered" as an artist is a deadly one. I ingested the mythology as a young person, then spent periods of my life feeling like a doomed failure. It slowly cracked for me - the narrative is a poisonous fairy tale. It sells well & is ultimately misleading & disempowering.
