Given there's a Phó King Good noodle shop in Beaverton, it stands to reason that there also should be an Auntie Phó in the greater Portland area.

This fall, XRAY FM s holding its fundraiser. Anyone who donates $25 or more receives:

- One original handmade collage (postcard-sized, one-of-a-kind)
- A Turtles Have Short Legs sticker

It’s a small way to hold a piece of the show in your hands.

Turtles Have Short Legs

Each episode gets its own collage: vintage ephemera, found imagery, postage from parallel timelines. Visual echoes of the frequencies that ripple through the airwaves. The audio and visual practices are tightly coupled, materials as systems to be re-assembled until they reveal new correspondences.

Every week for past two years on xray.fm, DJ Gilliflower has built worlds from scraps—both sonic and visual. Turtles Have Short Legs isn’t background music; it’s architectural. A séance conducted through transistor radio rather than Ouija board. xray.fm/shows/turtle...

Belated #cdfriday: Artificial Intelligence II compilation on Warp Records, the two disc edition. If IDM is “intelligent dance music,” then there must also be “ass-dumb dance music”?

"Banana Sandwich" from one of their earlier albums is a personal fave, along with "Even on a Sunday Afternoon." "You can't pretend you don't love Mary Poppins, too." <3

A TTRPG where you play uplifted soldiers—intelligent animals engineered for military service—navigating what comes after. Your creators' civilization has fallen. You inherit functional infrastructure and complex conditioning, but no orders. No oversight. No purpose except what you choose.

A Storytelling Game of Identity, Inheritance, and Choice

A revelatory performance of solo improvised snare drum (and table) by Ryosuke Kiyasu of Fushitsusha. Made for a delightful evening out in Helsinki before we headed back. Kiitos @renekita.bsky.social and @phinnweb.bsky.social for the heads-up!

Electric Eden: The House of Canon

Cecil Sharp House as a living dungeon, an institutional labyrinth, its halls lined with display cases, curated exhibits, and polished versions of unruly traditions. Within each wing, an overlooked collector is imprisoned, their voice suppressed, their work twisted into Sharp's control.

Staring At The Sun, by Buddha on the Moon

Once upon a time we took an Ultra Vivid Scene song out for a ride. The original is a dazzling pop gem; we fed it dirty motor oil and leaded gasoline.

Academia Somniorum by hotel.kilo

hotelkilo.bsky.social @hotelkilo.bsky.social · 22d

A TTRPG where you play faculty, students, and staff at a mystical university that studies dreams across the multiverse. Navigate academic politics, conduct impossible research, and grapple with the ethics of consciousness exploration in a world where poorly cited dreams can ooze into reality.

A Complete TTRPG of Dream Research and Multiversal Academia

The Portal Commons by hotel.kilo

hotelkilo.bsky.social @hotelkilo.bsky.social · 28d

The Portal Commons is a storytelling RPG inspired by Ruth Asawa's community fountains, North Beach print shops, and the gloriously irreconcilable contradictions of the Bay Area—where venture capital billions coexist with mutual aid networks, where tech surveillance meets neighborhood care.

High tech, community life. In 2080, the revolution is hand-crafted, interdimensional, and delicious
