Migrations are hard. Giving your PC to someone else to transport to another country is hard. Leaving a city you love is hard. See y'all on the other side of the ocean.

I rarely get waves of nostalgia with bands (mainly just memories), but Do As Infinity was such a lightning rod for me in the early 00s Japanese music. When I saw the First Take DAI premier it was as if 20yrs just melted away.

After seeing this I feel like there needs to be a crossover between Warframe's Follie and Witch Hat Atelier now.

Dolly wasn't just an icon, she was a pillar of society. A stalwart defender of joy, learning, and belonging. Of what is possible without giving up or on yourself. Her passing can only bring darkness if we let the fires she lit die. She showed us how to tend them every day.

Who is funding the anti-trans legislation in Seattle? Washington Federal Bank directly, CEO of Trident Seafood, CEO of El Gaucho/Aqua restaurants and lots and lots of AI and tech bros... fuck them all. www.pdc.wa.gov/political-di...

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Frank Herbert, Dune

I boiled water but failed tea, b/c I'm ADHD.

the end of summer

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The danger with punning across languages is you end up doing psychic damage to yourself on occasion: ¡Ara ara caramba!

AQIs in the 80-100 range, 33C in shade, UV index at 7+, high grass pollen. I think I'll just stay inside in the AC, thanks.

One of my oldest vinyl. HBday to a real one. "Canciones" came out during my initial learning of Spanish and it opened so many doors musically for me I still explore today.

Alluring existential threat. Only a little peril, surely.

Okay, I'll wade in xD

For everyone who is affected by *gestures broadly*

Given the Kalymos cone glyph coming at TennoCon, I feel like I should reup this :) #warframe

I contend chaos & law are not on the same axis. Case in point: civil engineering. Lawful chaos. Entropy and physics, chaos and law, both win when you test them.

I'm Trans gender ally🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 LOVE YOU🤍

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

When do we know when it's time to go? Irish goodbyes, enacted in love, rooted in sadness. Mindfullness only goes so far when shared space is taxed. Respect, respec'ed. Aspect of who we are in concert. Know your friends as loved ones. Otherwise they pull back when you need them most.

Space

Welcome home, Integrity!

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

I've heard a few songs by Lydia the Bard before, but her new album Woods is amazing. Some tracks could easily be Florence + The Machine (Lungs era) or other major artists. The title track evokes the hollars of Appalachia, and sets the incisive tone for the whole album. Music to light fires by.

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

10 anime to get to know me: - Cowboy Bebop - .hack//Sign - Nausicaä - GitS: SAC - Denno Coil - Azumanga Diaoh - Noir - Haibane Renmei - Dirty Pair: Affair On Nolandia - Kerberos Saga (Red Spectacles, etc) I see myself a cross between a Tachikoma & Totoro.

I lost a friend today. One I had planned to visit this year after many years apart & failed attempts. We'd not kept up with one another, but fuck it still hurts a lot. So sick of loss. Since 2021: parents, job/company/industry, ability to work reliably b/c MCAS+burnout, stability, safety. So Tired.

Hot take: IPAs are the Malört of beer.

Hey if you live in the greater Seattle area and you approve of Mayor Wilson's plan to ban ICE from using city property, vote Yes in the Komo poll. It's being flooded by right-wing bots. komonews.com/news/local/s...

Democracy isn’t restored by good intentions defeating bad ones. Historically it returns when new binding institutions emerge that can again convert truth into constraint and participation into legitimacy

It sounds like ICE is ramping up in Washington over the weekend. Stay alert

We are common b/c there are billions of us. We are small b/c we live within an ecosystem. We are meek when we don't have solutions. We are powerful when we stand between community and those who would destroy it, b/c it must be done.

Everyone who wants a better future in this country and this world is an acomplice. Being an acomplice isn't relevant to the future of your community. Being a source of light is. Standing between the darkness and yours is what must be done. Nothing to this end is small. It all matters. Fight.

“The proposal is a bad deal negotiated by a lame duck mayor, giving police a big pay raise while allowing them to continue to block accountability and hinder the City’s civilian crisis responders.”

Stumbled upon Emma Harner's music tonight, which she calls "math folk" and it fits. Complexity that isn't in its own way and evocative songwriting. And, of course, another touch to Berklee. If this is her starting point, I can't wait to see what comes next.
