Now that the new album is out I'm going to link to my Faircamp page again. Feast upon my '70s-classitronica-inspired music!
I work very slowly with stuff going on in my life and will explore other artistic media, so the next thing I have to share may not be music at all 🤷

Haven't been following very long but I can see that you're genuinely creative, coax really cool sounds out of your synths, have a persistent curiosity about the world, and practice uncommon kindness. All of that probably makes you great to be around IRL!

One pattern I've noticed in a few months of interfacing with furry fandom online is how many of you all are generous with with expressions of encouragement and affirmation to creatures you hardly know. It's not universal but I'm surprised by how common it is, and I try to practice it myself

If you are one of the approximately five people out there who have no idea what shortwave radio is but want to listen to it anyway, I think this is still an okay guide
I wrote a guide for getting started with shortwave radio listening, which covers everything from "What is radio?" to "How do I listen to shortwave transmissions when I don't have a shortwave receiver?"

Boosting this now that I've finally read it. The player character Swift was very relatable and I was grateful that I got to know him. I also felt that being very temporally grounded in 2025 strengthened the story. I haven't been to a con but I have lived through most of 2025 and… what a year!

Recent experience had me booting up Ren'Py for the first time in like 10+ years. I found that the nixpkgs derivation for it couldn't build releases on NixOS because of filesystem weirdness so I made my own derivation that relies on steam to provide FHS
