Every time I go to a show and the band has a nord stage piano I get mad. I should be the one who has a nord stage piano

Today was a day of healing my mind, body, and soul (laying on the couch with my husband, cat, and heated blanket, playing The Great Ace Attorney, watching Hard Boiled, eating chocolate chip blondies that I baked yesterday)

Hello last night I had a dream where I was on a reality competition show where teams went into a grocery store, were assigned a color, and had to eat the most food in their color. My team got yellow and I ate so much lemon candy

This is so funny. My husband and I have been watching The Chair Company (the new Tim Robinson show), and he realized that there's an actual website for Tecca (the aforementioned chair company). I decided to sign up for the email list and today I received this email

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"
looks like all mention of the future class program (which started in 2020) has been wiped from TGA webpage 🤪 the only archive that proves it existed is through the wayback machine. Here's my cohort (the last one): web.archive.org/web/20241119...
Future Class | The Game Awards

Hello I am bumping this one last time, then I swear I will shut up about it!! I’m really looking forward to this new chapter of making cool music for cool projects, with a lot less pressure to “succeed”
Hi I wrote a big long post about deciding to step back from full-time freelancing and separate myself from the industry somewhat 😮💨
Day job
After several years of full-time freelance composing, music implementation, and music production, I started a part-time day job a couple months ago.

As artists, we are totally against gen-AI. It robs artists of their craft and art of its soul.
However, a warning: Avoid carelessly accusing people of using it, especially if all your evidence is based on AI detectors. They are just another AI scam!

I’m so glad my new post is resonating with people! I’m getting so many nice responses 💚
To anyone who has been in a similar situation, having to ease up on or completely abandon your “dream job,” whether for financial reasons or because it wasn’t what you thought it would be, that’s not a failure!

One of the coolest things about me is that I love attention but also hate being perceived and these two traits make up equal parts of my personality
