This vid explains in detail the differences between natural voice and autotune, and why it sounds so different.

(It's even more complicated than this due to the way sound is perceived, and how it works as it 'approaches' certain notes, but organic voices sound very different than digital ones.)

I can't be the only one bothered by the sound of autotune used/overused in modern music, right?
Not talking the way it's used for distortion, but the way it's used to try and make every voice 'perfect'.

It changes the way voices naturally sound and I loathe it. Once I hear it I can't listen anymore

It's been almost a year since I last played and loading up again, damn this game is still so pretty.

Finally found a new gastro who listens and wants to help, and isn't afraid to have a medically complex patient

But now I have two tests I need to schedule and make time for

Oops.

Hey, since Patton Oswalt was reinstated, maybe Bluesky moderation can reinstate someone who was banned for doing the exact same thing.

My friend Roxanne is a trans woman trying to get out of Texas (for obvious reasons).
I've known her for years and also want her to be safe (and it would be nice to live in the same state!)

If you can give please help. If you can't, please share.
Your help can change my friend's life!
Wow!!!! Hey!!!! My move to Philadelphia is in a mere 3 months, and everyone's support so far has made this way more feasible! If we could get to 7.5k before the end of January 2026, things would be smooth sailing for "getting out of Texas"!!!

People buying clothes from Shein and Temu and AliExpress won't stop as long as those are the only clothes that some people can afford.

Also, let's be real. It's not just Shein. It's WalMart and Target and all the other big box chain retailers as well. They're all made the same way.

PCP agreed to change the dosing of my pain meds from three times a day to four.

Hopefully this helps get my pain under control.

Farming a little hopefulness for the future.

Therapist confirmed I'm having A New Trauma response which is what I figured was happening.

Trying to remind myself that I am safe and distract myself with happier things, feelings, places, thoughts.

My stomach is still in knots.

My feelings are complicated.

I want to feel okay again.

tw: animal violence, injury, graphic

The person who told me the neighbor died was mistaken which is a good thing. I am glad he did not die.

I am still not okay bc what I heard and saw were all horrific. There is relief that I didn't hear him die.
There is anger that nobody would listen to me to...
tw: animal violence, death

I have been talking for months about the upstairs neighbors with violent dogs. I have gone through every channel to have something done about the dogs.

This morning I heard the dogs kill their owner.

I keep hearing it over and over in my head.
I'm medicated but not ok.

The day was young and full of hope. Alas.

Fever creeping up. Me laying back down bc sitting up is too much.
Woke up this morning feeling a tiny bit better, though the day is still very young.

Breathing a lot easier. I credit all the good vibes I know you guys are sending me.

Also have a mild fever, which means maybe my immune system is doing something. Yay!

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.

And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

Still thinking about how the 3rd party contractor for SSDI reviewing my status used the ancient fibromyalgia criteria of

POKING ME IN PLACES THEY KNOW WILL HURT AND WATCHING TO SEE IF IT HURTS.

Bitch didn't even apologize or look empathetic when I sobbed.

Take a beat.

Have a glass of water, a deep breath, a good stretch, then keep on keepin' on.

You've got this.✨
