Y'all can enjoy what you want but football is a gamified mini version of colonialism, symbolically conquering as much land as possible

Questions are woke

not that you should have to convince people why you need PPE (would you question a hearing aid or a cane?) but we live in a society and you gotta be crafty for interviews and such

A pro of having a mask wearing employee is that they won't get sick as often and therefore take less time off and be more alert at work instead of coming in all sick and tired. In case anyone's struggling being a masker and finding a job

there's been a lot of horror films coming out where the adults can't or barely do shit while the kids are left to figure it out. I think that says a lot about our societies fears as the horror genre often does

Being the experimental musician on a mixed bill is hilarious. I get to hear such things like "its noise music" (to their partner) and "I found out I like noise music today"

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

I love me some "everything is beautiful and everything sucks and it's all made up and it's all I have, I think" music.

What's your album/band/song of the summer?

Mine is the album EELS by Being Dead. They're like if The Mamas and the Papas and Pixies had a baby and makes my brain have the good feelings

I just learned about the psoas muscle, your fight or flight muscle, which has to be manually released or you can stay stuck in that state. Since I’ve been learning to unmask and stim more I realized that one of my stims actually releases that muscle. wtf

It's bandcamp friday and all proceeds go to my friend Mo 💿

Person (me) wearing glasses and a knit hat holds four colorful CD's with an abstract decollage style cover

AND I WILL KNOW, AND I WILL FEEL LESS ALONE

it is a lie that you don't have any power to help or do anything to change things.

if you're getting stuff this bandcamp friday, consider something from me + it will go directly to my friend Mo and his family (will post receipts)

even if what you do cannot stop the gen✴💚de, Mo is an entire human being who will know people out there care in his time of need

my monster fucker friend needed my help adding cryptids to their humanoid/nonhumanoid categorization chart and my immediate reaction was “is this how patriots feel when they go off to war?”

Boycotting is a privilege.

Prepping is a privilege.

Protesting is a privilege.

Leaving the country is a privilege.

Not all solutions are accessible to everyone.

We need robust community care to ensure people aren’t left behind.

I'm so bad at posting stuff here, but tonight I'm doing some improv at NYU Silver Center at 7pm. I'm part of the first trip!
