I'm still digging myself out of financial holes created by an amazing healthcare system. For the forseeable future, the entire LS discography on Bandcamp is 75% off ($14 for 9 albums) if you want to help me out and get some riffs along the way.

Now would be a great time to pick up some of my music. My one and only guitar needs some rewiring done, and my hands don't really do fine, detailed work like this anymore without pain and shaking. I miss guitar, and want to get back to finishing up my next planned album.

If you need GenAI to imagine, think, draft, plan or sketch your ideas for you, you don't have ideas to begin with.
Seriously people, don't let billionaires who'd slit your throat to get a dollar tell you how to think, or what to think.
Think and create for yourself. That's why we're here.

After all of the positive feedback (pun intended), I've started working on a second album for this project. 👀
Thank you for listening, and if you haven't checked out the first album yet, this project and all of its future releases will remain free to listen on Bandcamp. 🖤

I've had this drone album in various stages of completion for the past couple years, and it's time to unleash it. Free to download and turn your thoughts off for a while with headphones.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
The Sword's "Age of Winter" easily, although I could also say another Maiden album but that feels too easy for me.

No contest. Still probably my favorite album of all time 25 years later.

For the first time in probably a year or more, I not only wrote over 1,000 words in a single-sitting, I wrote over 3,000. It's been so, so long since I've had the focus to do something like this, let alone managed to ignore the pain. It feels so good to write again, I always miss it.

Don't know the poster so trying to decide if this an incredibly niche reference to Behold the Arctopus and The Rock. I hope so, I really hope so.

Almost any disabled person, including myself, who looked into disability rights/activism via the internet and beyond knew of Alice Wong. I never knew her directly, and yet after her passing her absence is somehow keenly discernible in various communities/circles I interact with.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.
Alice Wong
Alice Wong had an outsized impact on Disability justice. As a community organiser, activist, mentor, and co-conspirator, as writer, editor, and friend, she is irreplaceable.

On November 14, 1891, Sir Frederick Banting was born. He discovered insulin in 1921 and effectively made diabetes a treatable disease, when it was previously a death sentence. He sold the patent for insulin for $3 saying "insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."

I've just finished Sarah's latest and have read all her previous novels. Therefore, I will approach this novel the same way: with excitement and utter terror for the emotional apocalypse it will wreak on me
MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.
Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.
It comes out in May.
