I think it's clear that
The next set of music
Will all be about an
Encroaching dystopia.

What a time to be alive.

Iris Lucid @irislucid.bsky.social · 6d

Without knowing the fundamentals
Every line of code
Is just a magic incantation,
And debugging efforts
Become
Ritual sacrifices
To the gods who steal
Time.

My hypothesis is that
The other side embodies
And reflects their
Worst aspects
So rather than
Fix themselves
They choose to
Smash the mirror.

Must be like sending an
Anthropologist to an
Alien planet.

Enough pondering.

Just going to enjoy the sun before it goes away until April.

It's interesting how there was an influx of
BlueSky users after X went full fash
But it hasn't become the
hotbed of communication that X still is.
Other musicians I follow haven't posted here
for months...

Latest album out.
Thanks for all the likes and
Reposts.
❤️❤️❤️

Why only on Bluesky?

Not in this for fame nor fortune.
Never want to be “big”.
Just making music for the
Pure joy of creation.

Plus: know too much
Firsthand about other
Social media.

Happy to be obscure.

Cleaning, sorting through piles
Found that photo of us
Your wry smile
My hopeful face
Knowing now that your were
Already planning our end
In that very moment
I took one last look
At that Polaroid
Then dropped it
In the trash

This sounds like
Any random conversation
With about
30%
Of my coworkers

In the context of the novel
It was:

Intrusion
Countermeasure
Electronics

Not this bullshit fascist gestapo
We have running around
Today
