Sci comms, foraging, left wingery, sourdough, cats, folk music, fiddle, songwriting, jellyfish, the dream of the 90s is alive somewhere
Driving from Moletai to Kaunas and listening to pagan solstice carols in Lithuanian.

Keep in mind that it was as Trump was nominating a potential Secretary of Defense who appears open to supporting an auto-coup in 2028 that he began talking about arresting blue-state governors who defy him over...

...“immigration,” supposedly.

But he was moving a key auto-coup Overton Window, too.

They keep saying to me that freedom ain't free,
But I pay through the nose for nothing I see.
They rise high and I get low,
But at least we observed the courtesy.

More sourdough focaccia: sun-dried tomatoes, red chili, and lemon zest!

Cock Up Your Beaver. Had this song stuck in my head the other day. It's about a dude with a new hat that's just a bit too slick.

I enjoy the name AND the fact that there are a lot of Scottish trad songs about hats.

I've got so little but you take so much
A silly plan, but you got so rich
What ya gonna do when my money's gone
You got my cash now you want my bones

It's thinning here, out by the edge
One drama and it'll surely crack
An infinite approach to ruin
But your priority needs are on my back

New song in dev: Money and Bones. About capitalist rent-seeking practices. I gave lyrics to Husband at his request and obviously it sounds amazing already. Now to come up with some harmonies and fiddle fills.

After the news that the NI Executive will ban puberty blockers 'indefinitely', Trans Pride NI are organising a silent protest at Stormont on Thursday 12 December at 5pm.

Please share widely as we need to get as many people there as possible.

Thanks

Omg new followers and SO MANY ARTIST PLAYLISTS! If I haven't followed you back, it's because I'm slow; if I haven't liked your latest tracks, it's because I haven't got there yet - but I WANT to and I love this!

Getting repeatedly smacked with the lyrics bat this week. I managed to finish one and turn it over to Husband yesterday. Quite pleased to have worked "oligarchic upward flow" into a verse.

@danielmesse.bsky.social hey! I've just followed your songwriting starter pack, and I'm also looking for an SP that's for indie first-timers. (That's me! Long time fiddle, short time song.) But I haven't been able to find one yet. Any other SPs you recommend?

Lil spot of Christmassy focaccia with tomatoes and rosemary.

I did the thing!
This is "Love Songs for the Millennium."
A mood for right now.
Be gentle, this is only the fourth song I've written and the first I've ever put into some semblance of publication.

Chorus:
Are we still doing love songs
While opportunity crumbles?
Do we croon about bodies
While our souls are up for sale?

We've got work to do, but we're human too
And the road to justice is long
So sing me a love song
And remind me that I love you

OMG the first draft is so close I can taste it. It's so amateur. So janky. Overflowing with me not knowing what I'm doing. But the MOOD.

Yooo I'M ACTUALLY TRYING this make-my-own-songs bollocks! I downloaded Reaper and have started arranging! Feels like I'm about halfway but then muted something unexpectedly and unknowingly? Mystery. This is causing a pause in proceedings.

Here's the overproofed purple pink dough in the Pullman before and after baking, for your amusement. It still came out tasty, if not even remotely photogenic.

Lesson 1: don't overproof. Lesson 2: if you do, TOUCH IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE and then bake it anyway.

Not a total loss, I suppose...
