Hi, hello! I wrote about the new @terzijdehorde.bsky.social and I clearly had a lot to say about it.

Spoiler: it's not mentioned in the review, but I got very emotional about this album.

There's a new Terzij de Horde out, and Hera wrote about it.

Album Review: Terzij de Horde – Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone

About three years ago I wrote about In One of These, I Am Your Enemy, a dense album that dealt with the perception of reality and how the choices we make are both influenced by others and driven by our own autonomy. It haunted me, its themes staying so close it managed to rank very high in my 2022 AOTY list…

They can go as Sanguis, which is close to sanguine, and that's blood!

The bullshit about the American military being antifa is getting a little deep

Some of y'all twist the facts to suit your sentiments

The USA was the Nazis before the Nazis were the Nazis

OG 1930s antifa was made up of Communists

The people literally streetfighting Nazis were also Anarchists

Blindfolded and Led to the Woods and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean are fantastic band names. Those names go hard.

Really struck by how brilliant a protesting tactic this is not just in terms of optics, but as a form of both privacy protection and discouragement of violence.

It masks your face and has to give pause to anyone thinking about beating you up.

But the cowardice runs so deep. Mere anger at injustice is not enough. A transmutation of our horizons of meaning, of earth and sky, is needed.
