I've uploaded a visualizer for my entire new drum and bass album Superstructures to YouTube. A combination of screen captures from the M8 playing the songs, waveform visualization, and footage from my NYC trip converted to symbols.

Have you checked this out? New African translations! You can pick up cool stuff in the art shop or donate directly #booksky
Yay! Thank you for the generous donation! We're still at 67% so I didn't update the graphic, but it wouldn't take too much to bump it over... eh?

We have nearly three weeks, this could still completely fund, and fund quickly, with attention! (Please help tell people! That's key!)

This week's video is a classic OP-1 style video but for ambient. If you need a respite maybe this could be part of it:

fun fact this track was originally written around 2020 during the start of the pandemic and sat on my harddrive for years until this year. i struggle with anxiety and wrote this piece to help calm down when it gets to be a bit much

Trump is planning a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech to cripple the opposition and rig the 2026 elections. If you want to support Democracy Docket's pro-democracy mission, now would be a great time to sign up. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

i've said it before but i feel like my nebula win is a really great opportunity to push back against the "indie is garbage" narrative, but i always feel like i'm shouting into the void. i'm not sure how we, as a community, can use that to push back, but i really think we should.

Come on, fam, this is so close! How many Kickstarters have raised this much in 5 minutes? We've got a whole half a day left! Yeah, it's not a Kickstarter, but those aren't accessible to the global south. And this one has fun rewards you can pick up! #booksky

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Embrace your passion.

Hey - for the people who are like "I'd support human global translation but I don't like Emily"

The award-winning Black woman editor leading the project likes Emily and likely has feelings about that reason.

It's absurd, tbh. Say that if that's what people tell you?

They don't have to mention me!
