Welcome to my ethereal world. Being new to BlueSky, and having never been on Twitter/X, I've yet to grasp the hash trick. I love cats (indoor to protect wildlife), music, books & gardening. Progressive eco-pagan/ polytheist, pro-vax. New recordings are coming. Fey hugs from Australia, with love.
Our new vid 'Dragon Enters Aphelion' is a tribute to Belgian designer Karl Delandsheere. The floating arrow is part of it. Don't press an internal link, or the song stops. Hands resting, enjoy the strangeness. #IndieMusic, #Ethereal, #Witch, #Fey, #Fairy, #Faery, www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqom...

My niece Lucy released her composition (lyrics, melody, chords), singing & playing keys. Her band is 'Luce Unit'. Thursdays being my happy giving night in a Sufi way, I've nibbled a date and am sharing her sweet song: #indiemusic #acousticsong #Australiansinger: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ju_...

I sense an increase of bots & trolls. Signs include excessive impersonal content, reposts with minimal input, unnatural consistency (targeting a demographic), angry rants (even if I agree!) & clickbait. Time to cull. Life is not a silo, and I'm not here for box-ticking. #cybersafety #blue #democracy

Whilst I don't think Australians can sign this, if you're American, you can! Especially if you care about democracy & rule of law. Melody spoke on this at today's Zoom with Glenn Kirschner (Justice Matters). I'm glad to have attended. Jasmine Crockett is a distinguished lawyer and politician.

if you can just destroy any and all natural inclination to empathy, it's easy to become powerful and rich, which is all that matters. Empathy allows your feelings to be manipulated by things like "justice", so if you can just purge that from your worldview you too can be an unstoppable psycopath

Six nights ago there was a break in the space-time continuum and ABC execs allowed some music for grownups on Kimmel's network late-night TV show - Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan. Very rare.
