Recent events remind me o’ how far my nation has strayed from its ideals, but I refuse to drown myself in sorrow or abandon the pursuit o’ a better tomorrow.

For this week’s showcase, Aethoro. They’ve got an orchestrally cinematic kinda vibe, with some electronic elements. I very much enjoy this track in particular, with Moon Jelly’s vocals.

There are some who will quibble that events like the ones which occurred today lack fervor toward actual change. Those people are daft. Without enthusiasm and hope, a body politic cannot sustain activist efforts. Notice any difference in the timeline?

Creativity entails exploration, even if it transgresses one’s moral qualms or depicts illegal acts. Bans on specific content inevitably expand to stifle expression altogether. It starts with contentious material (“degenerate art”, anyone?), then escalates toward absurdity.

I receive my first paycheck on Tuesday. After rent to my family, as per our agreement, I should still have a decent amount left. Afterward, I plan to make two nest eggs, one for me, and one for the family. I should then be able to start regular donations with the remainder.

For this week’s showcase, Murphi Field. A nice, rather poignant, poppy alternative rock song that encapsulates the angst I have felt the last several days. This, too, shall pass, though. Just need perseverance…

I wholeheartedly believe that if the so-called American Dream (id est, prosperity) were more attainable, fewer people would fall for corporate-funded propaganda. Henceforth, they would scapegoat immigrants and transgender folk, among other groups, to a far lesser degree than now.

Some folk I know still act like they are above it all, and even try to argue that it’s a moderate stance to deprive people’s right to due process, and to express a desire for a justification to engage in an anti-transgender pogrom, among other illiberal acts.
