Some days, I only see the loss. Some days, I remember the joy and beauty of what we had. Days like today, I can see them both quite clearly.

Remembering the wonderful Steve Silberman @stevesilberman.bsky.social on what would have been his 68th birthday. He touched the lives of so many, and shared thrill, humour and wisdom with many more. Thinking of those who were nearest and dearest to him. Wishing you all peace.....

"It's so fucking great to be alive! Is what the theme of our show is tonight, boys and girls. And I wanna tell ya, if there is anybody here who doesn't believe that it is fucking great to be alive, I wish they would go now, because this show will bring them down so much."

Tell the folks you love that you love them. Do it while you're both here.

It's an honor for me that @musiclovemusic.bsky.social gives a song by song insight into my new album 'Hivern perfecte'. If you didn't know this lovely site, it's a great place to discover music and artists from everywhere.

Thank you so much, Mike.

Hoping you enjoy it!

I'm using this as an opportunity to write a public-service announcement which I will be making at a school assembly soon.

"If anyone ever tells you you're not supposed to cry, that person is giving you BAD HEALTH ADVICE. Crying is good for you."
It has been zero days since I cried in public.
Crying in my study hall, as one does.

I never get tired of listening to this wonder that Steve Silberman and David Crosby recorded a few years ago. The only con is that it makes me miss them even more 💔

Few things are more elusive to me than #music. Try to define it. List all the elements involved. What makes you love that song you love? What's wrong with music you don't dig? Write down the recipe. Pick examples. Then go find the counterexamples. Take it seriously enough and you're lost.

Please submit a comment, the comments close in 4 days - disabled people should be paid the same minimum wage as non-disabled people.
Please PLEASE go comment in favor of this rule. The subminimum wage for disabled folks is vile and evil and *must* be eliminated.

The poverty rate of disabled folks is astronomical compared to abled folks. There is no doubt this disgusting discriminatory policy is part of the reason why.
ALERT: The Department of Labor is seeking public comment on a rule that would ELIMINATE the subminimum wage for disabled people in the US: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The news is so sad
And everywhere, defeat
Comfort's hard to come by
Tho broken hearts still beat
Even disillusioned eyes
Can somehow see the good
In people when they try
To get back up where once they stood RS

Meanwhile I'm over here hoping Canada colonizes us and forces us to live under their oppressive universal healthcare and metric system.

I have many prayers & hopes for humanity, but if I had to distill them down it’d be - walk in genuine kindness, be gentle with precious lives & fight like hell for those on the margins like your life depended on it.

Autistic people care about others deeply, although many have lots of struggles, they still care, just not shown in a way you expect.

They say the algorithm is based on luck, I'm not sure if this will be pushed to a wider audience, but that's okay because the algorithm pushed me to people here ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

The social construct we built around the passage of our planet around its nearest star dictates that everything can change today, so here we go. Woohoo.
