"Almost every person who answered The News’ survey said they’d had more trouble sleeping and felt less safe in public spaces since November. Over two-thirds said they’d been thinking more about suicide."

My dope friend Adrian, who is trans, interviewed 90 transgender Texans. His project is finally out: www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move

Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Completed and uploaded full score and vocal score of Scene 2 and 3! Scene 3 was hard to reduce to a piano part because it's so busy, but I did my best

fuck yes

autechre will perform in darkness.

For their set all lights in the venue will be off.

Please plan on being in one place for the performance and do not move unnecessarily until it has finished when the lights will come back on again.

Please do not shine any lights at the stage or around the room during the performance unless you require assistance.

In case of emergency lights will come on and staff will be there to assist you to leave the venue.

If you need to leave for any reason during the show please use your mobile phone to light your way.

If you are in need of assistance please turn on your phone's light and wave above your head. Security will come to you and help.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of spending around 80 minutes in the dark while Autechre play, please see venue staff before the performance starts.

Venue security will be in place for your safety and monitoring the audience as at any normal show.

Absolutely no recording or flash photography please.

Thank you

Everyone knows the story of how Cohen learned his 6 chords from a random guy from Spain, right? speakola.com/arts/leonard...

I made a little toy for exploring and mixing mathematically possible backbeat rhythms!

In a 2-beat 16th-note grid with kick/snare/hat, there are 1,458 combinations. And in combination, there are 2,125,764 ways to fill in a 4/4. Enjoy playing ALL of them here:
