Reading this article on leftists using politics to justify their shite behavior is just :kiss:

"On social media, users who post far-fetched “leftist” justifications to cover what looks like shitty interpersonal conduct are frequently ratioed within an inch of their lives — a phenomenon that seems to be on the rise as young people move leftward and nuclear leftist takes proliferate more generally."

on my to-do list for this year: install Surge and put some proper effort into it

Just a head's up for my writers out there, Nervous Ghost Press has been promoting a poetry prize being judged by Michale Graves, a member of the Proud Boys who publicly took part in the attack on the Capitol. He, yes, also happens to have been a former frontman of the Misfits. The press is absolutely aware of this and has lost staff due to it and refused to make a change. Not only should you not enter this contest, please send your regular work elsewhere - it deserves better.

there's really people out there who will finally hear about some racist abuse that's been going on and genuinely be all like ~oh gosh i don't want to take sides, i don't want to lose friends or make enemies~ like excuse me? I Sure Fucking Do

Hey folks, it has come to my attention that a bit of my past ableism, that I had been working to address and diminish, had slipped through in a message a few days ago.

I apologize for that, and I will keep working to make sure that it happens as rarely as possible. If it happens again, don't hesitate to call me on it, I appreciate it.

if like me you are white, you will find that you must pay attention to what people who aren't white say, or you'll never know what's going on

if you are not Black, you will not know what's going on unless you listen to Black people

your white friends will never be racist *to you*

this is a thing people have been saying for a long time, that whiteness can make difficult to understand

whole chunks of reality are invisible to us

so we have to pay attention

A great #audio mix tip :
- create a bus with any kind of compressor
- send every tracks except the drums to this bus. The sends have be post fader.
- Compress the bus aggressively ( fast-medium attack, fast release, 4:1 ratio up to 10dB gain reduction)
- bring the bus fader up until it blends and thickens all your front elements. Play with your compressors characters, try different ones etc.
-Enjoy

"But with me things take on a *new face*. I'm not given a second chance. I am over determined from the outside. I am a slave not to the "idea" others have of me, but to my appearance.

I arrive slowly in the world; sudden emergences are no longer my habit. I crawl along. The white gaze, the only valid one, is already dissecting me. I am *fixed*. Once their microtomes are sharpened, the Whites objectively cut sections of my reality."
