What's infuirating is that these idiots intentionally crashed the job market so that we would all either be forced to work for ICE or create AI slop.

All that said, I really believe this music is worth the $3 I’m asking for it. We don’t talk about friendship nearly enough, and we REALLY don’t talk about the experience of friendship breaking down.

I, however, have thought about it A LOT. And you can soon throw it back to my takeaways.

But, even in spite of all this, I love this shit anyway. As much as I hate the game, I simply cannot stay away.

I was put on this earth with the exact brain chemistry required to channel my world through making art, and it’s ALL I got left that I am still good at!

I’ve been in the industry for like 15(?) years now, and every year gets harder. Music press doesn’t really break new music anymore, and there’s less of it than ever. Listeners are inundated with a firehose of *content* masquerading as art. AND I’m from Canada???

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: IMPOSSIBLE

Ay y’all, I’ve got this EP on the way, and I’m so proud of it. My expectations are actually not that high, and it’s a TON of hard work to put something like this in front of folks, but it’d be cool if you guys could help out with pre-orders and pre-saves!

This happened in 2021. I later told the story on The Moth on 2023, which made it to national radio airplay last year.

This one is for all my Blasians out there, distilling everything through the hafu/hapa lens. Got some questions about my culturemaxxing on the EP, and baby, it’s all connected! 🇭🇰🇯🇲

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...

Screengrab from Blacksky migration guide:

blacksky algorithms

A Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

Alternative PDSs for Everyone
Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other
PDSs that are open to anyone:
• myatproto.social - Open to all
• cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all

These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Genuinely thought-provoking question. I'm gonna put up:
- Cardi B
- Jennifer Hudson
- Lauren Tsai
- T-Pain's comeback
- Any number of great chefs/restaurants/cookbooks
- TOMS shoes (up until 2019 when they ended their One for One program)

Has reality TV given us anything good besides Kelly Clarkson?

Ay man, releasing music in 2025 is weird, and hard, and even discouraging sometimes. But at least you can do it with your friends!
