Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

I don't know if what I'm doing is any good or if it is garbage and I'm not sure if it matters or not.

The anti-vaccine movement is built on the ideas that autistic people live fundamentally devalued lives and that autism itself is basically contagious.

I wrote about this in light of RFK’s most recent assault on vaccine research. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

Degenerate Nation: RFK Jr’s Far-Right Disease Prevention

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine agenda is of a piece with Trump's nativist, Darwinian politics.

Thinking today about how my photography has become more and more abstract as a way of incorporating and expressing some of the complete disconnect I feel from reality most days. A disconnect built around a need to escape from the horror that is existing in this world that humanity has built ...

New music. Name your own price because I feel like it.

Tracks from "Into the depths" reworked, slowed, reverbed, smeared, all those good thing until they sound like a strange dream at the bottom of the ocean.
