🌱 Very few websites fit the format that fits me best. BlueSky is good, other than the fact that I cannot correct mistakes after I publish them.
I really like the ability to Unpublish or Update, with a personal website.
Would enjoy freedom of running a website; frugality dictates o/w.

Pro Music Tips:

1. Stop worrying people won’t like your music. If you bring it, the right fans will find you.

2. You WILL fuck up on stage, so instead of stressing about it, practice to the point where a fuck up won’t derail you.

3. Buy your own vocal mic. Microphones at venues are disgusting.🤮

TRY to include # of agents, vehicle info, what they're doing, and a description of what they're wearing if they aren't clearly marked - it's not always clear what agency they're from so describe what you see and let people assess risk on their own. You don't have to be able to ID the agency yourself

🌱 The most Magical Thing I've ever done is repeatedly swim in the Pacific w sea otters off San Simon, freezing/no wetsuit ocean life everywhere incl dolphins swimming a few hundred feet out, was tripiest completely sober experience of my life that I keep going back to wanting to duplicate.

magic hour comes early these days, solar lighting flickering on as cloudy mixed skies give way to night time as viewed from one end of an inground pool, with pots of desert greenery illuminated partly by various solar lights. zone 9B in the Sonoran Desert of Phoenix trying to learn bamboo grass nomenclature this is what looks like my notion of papyrus. this is a portion of a bamboo culm which has dried and peeled and fallen,Brown and wood grain looking and it is atop other drying bamboo debris, partially illuminated by the late November Morning Sun. Bamboo, botanically a member of the grass family Poaceae, specifically the Bambusoideae subfamily, is a group of fast-growing, woody perennial plants. Characterized by hollow, ringed stems called culms, bamboo exhibits a diverse range of sizes, from small annuals to giant timber bamboo. These plants also feature a well-developed rhizome system, petiolate leaves, and branching patterns. Key Botanical Features: Grass Family: Bamboo is classified within the grass family Poaceae. Culms (Stems): These are the woody, above-ground stems that can be hollow between the nodes. Some species have solid stems. Rhizomes: The underground stems from which bamboo grows, forming the basis for perennial growth. Leaves: Typically evergreen, but some species, like some New World bamboos, have deciduous leaves. Rhizome Growth: Bamboo species are broadly categorized into clumping (sympodial) and running (monopodial) types based on their rhizome behavior.

Again I say thank you to Abraham Lincoln for wanting to take a break in the Civil War and have a good meal. he wanted us to pray as well which I probably am doing silently to myself every single second of the day / humour🪄
