Happy May Day! After a 19 month effort I have helped form a NEW UNION in the city government where I work. I love my job, but workers always need a seat at the table. And every union membership is resistance against fascist corporatism taking over everything. Organize! Solidarity! Union Strong!

For the past few months a Cooper's hawk(?) has been frequenting our yard, and yesterday flew off with a rat. Yay! Previous meals include starlings and a robin, unfortunately. This photo was from a while back and probably the same individual? #birdsky

Louis Jones Memorial / The Chamber Arc is a sound piece I did after George Floyd's murder. It's about a police killing of a Black man in Seattle in 1971, but also the power of the community coming together in response and changing city policies. #BlackHistoryMonth

BOYCOTT organizations that appease or are complicit in fascism! All they understand is $ ~so don't give it to them...
Build community, support each other emotionally and materially, protect the vulnerable, live your values with integrity, and take every opportunity to RESIST!
Oh, and use alt text.

I hope their incompetency, avarice, and hubris will be their undoing before permanent destruction to humanity is wrought. But hope is not enough to stop fascism. Don't obey in advance! Cross your arms when asked to salute the craven demagoguery!

Enjoy this weekend everyone! I think it will be the last peaceful time for years to come, possibly in our lifetimes, depending how successful the incoming administration will be in their nefarious plans. I don't think it's alarmist or hyperbolic to say everything is going to change after Monday.

Like strange sounds? Ambient aural journeys? A dynamic mix of timbres with extremes of dissonance and consonance? Phantasmauralia is a new internet radio show that weaves together sounds into original 30 min soundscape compositions. Premieres tomorrow 6pm PT on radiobrennpunkt.org

Is this weird? I've never seen raspberries in December. Not at 48 degrees north at least.

Everything we know of has a life cycle of birth, growth, death- plants, animals, stars, even the universe will succumb to heat death sometime. Maybe Bowie was right: "Homo sapiens have outgrown their use."
And maybe we here now just happen to be witnessing the end of that arc.
And maybe that's ok.
