Discourse+
On the upside, I convinced a homophobic, racist, sexist Russian man that the reason he thinks Russia/where he lives is free of racism/sexism/homophobia/etc is cause those words do not mean what he thinks they mean.
Along the way he tried "you can't just change the meaning of words" (physics did with gravity, biology did with evolution, etc, things can have technical definitions) and the "They are already in dictatorial power" (fixed w/ "feminism is incompatible w/ authoritarianism")
Dissociation, food, I feel like a dropped plate of food
Lost all of a critically needed day to sitting anxiously fiddling with my hair and jumping discord/fb/Tumblr/YouTube. Didn't even shower or leave the house. Had a single half-meal of pasta and a couple bagels and a can of diet Pepsi and I think a sandwich? Thoroughly dissociated, it's 3:40am, my mind is deserted but my jaw still clenched. It's one of those times where I wish somebody could take me apart, fix the bug, and put me back together
This toot contains:
- metaerotica
- reference to a relationship that is ONLY happening due entirely to my personal growth from being part of the Masto community since November
- admission of shyness (last date was like #7)
- blatant violations of form
Yea I think this is a good first toot to return to the fediverse with after a 3mo+ hiatus
> be in early phase of relationship (last date had first kiss)
> Partner requests a sexy story to tide her over till we can see each other again
> attempt to write erotica for the first time in 3+ months
> Come up with very good scene very likely to happen with her anymore which could very very easily happen next time we see each other
> Get too turned on

Wow.
Just turned in three-week-long group project ~3hrs late, *maybe* 30% complete. Hardly anybody would ever reply to any attempts to communicate from anybody or on any platform.
Had to do a team assessment. Each member by name, pros cons + score.
Scored myself lowest of entire team cause of how bad project went.
Except, chatlogs show I was only one replying to comms. I tried to comm. I just had 2weeks of bad depression, made little content myself.
stats say I'm not gonna leave bed tomorrow

Anyway, here's Nyanderwall
@vahnj oh holy shit seriously!?!? That's fucking awesome! I'm 1000% jelly!
I really hope that he does another one of those, but he's got too many followers now.
His 2016 concerts are the only ones I have specifically sought out myself, and I want to go to any and all in the future, tbh.
He, in real fucking life, on a stage, inflated a balloon near the mic, then, during a single continuous deflation, hit the balloon twice *in time and in fucking key* to form his liveloop bassline.
Wizard.
i just
there's so many good ones
you rap in one language? two?
Here's a rap he wrote in FIVE that still rhymes and everything:

or how about 15/8 time signature rap? he did that 6 fucking years ago:

how about a timelapse music video featuring Huang singing *in real time* in the middle of the street painstakingly shot 1 frame at a time

@reembodied impulse control is overrated when it comes to Andrew Huang
ok i have bad impulse control
so here's Andrew Huang covering all the biggest tracks from 2016
using exclusively household items, no actual instruments.
as a single example, here's a casual kickass track he built *in one hour*
out of grabbing youtube's most recently uploaded videos for keywords given by twitter followers
and sampling/mixing/whatevs as fast as possible:
Subbing to Andrew Huang on Patreon is literally the single best music-finding decision I've made.
ABSURDLY prolific, incredibly varied music, commonly fascinating and unusual.
He's covered 24karat magic... using only 24 carrots which he turned into SLIDE WHISTLES and FLUTES
Dubstep from raven calls, midi-inverted classical, musical cubism
his "just fucking around" beats get more in my spine than most
He released an album of his backlog of abandoned musical projects: it was 7 fucking gigs.
