like i am not going to devote a fraction of my brain to being upset for longer than a minute, but this says about all you need to know about the legitimacy of TGA's awards at least as it applies to music

I sold my horns when I moved last year cause I hadn't played in many years, but I wound up wanting to get back into it in earnest, and now I have this used vintage yamaha horn from the early 70s. I'm rusty as hell but already having so much fun, it's great to play again for the simple joy of playing

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.
From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.
A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.
But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

I mastered this whole album and y'all are in for a treat of diverse autumnal and spooky tunes. it's got funk, evil beats, chiptune love songs, contemporary chamber music, digicore, pop and more! you'd never believe it was all written in one weekend.
CREEPY CRAWLIES, our first single, is out now on youtube! (link in bio!) with an incredible lyric video made by @adibabidan.bsky.social @minty-marcus.bsky.social , @babblingbirdart.bsky.social , @mossmushroom.bsky.social !
