I'm low-key pissed off that anyone even *needs* a "frame-by-frame expert video analysis" to prove that the secret police should not have shot the unarmed lady.

So, the holidays were EXHAUSTING and the world is EXHAUSTING and the writing of words is not happening today, so here's a little plug for my funny little book about community and labor and happiness and also a genie trying to start a business.
Take a mental break. Buy my book.

Trying out something...well, old. Blogging and writing, thinking more deeply about things instead of dashing off quite as many thoughts. Probably going to be sharing too much, but I suppose it's better to go for too much instead of too little.

Y'know, I don't think I'd want to live any other time but now. A funny thing to think about, since the world is on fire and America's marching towards fascism. But if I weren't here, now, I wouldn't know all the people I know. And the stars shine brightest in the dark.

Something to remember is that the Techbro billionaire class were rarely the actual tech pioneers. They're the ones who bankrolled it, or engineered a controlling share interest.
They're just Railway Robber Barons 2.0.
It's why they're crap at actual tech. Their 'skill' was money, timing or theft.

I'll be honest here, I'm still sitting on a bunch of copies of "Phantasmagoria" and "Secondhand Ghosts," the first two EPs that @phantomocean.bsky.social made. And I'm still really, really proud of both of those CDs.
Artists are way too hard on themselves. We have got to unplug from the numbers chasing

By whose say so? Is it still good music? Did you enjoy creating it?

I miss you, Aaron. I miss busting each other's balls. I miss you believing in me, when I didn't always believe in myself. Can't believe it's been three years.

My guitar playing, my singing, my jiu-jitsu, all of the creative things I do, really, are shaped as much by the things I can't pull off as much as they are by the things I can.
Michael Caine said an acting teacher of his gave him advice to "Use your difficulties." I loved this idea because it transformed my thinking about both the things I am bad at and the bad things I'm going through.
"Going through the shit? USE it."
Aye-aye.
"Going through the shit? USE it."
