I remembered to share my post here! Part three of my saga about how I engage with one of my favorite hobbies in 2025... MUSIC. This one is how and where I buy music!
this one was requested by somebody on socials which is why I remembered to share.

I didn't post a standard post as I was sick, but I was still journaling A LOT and ended up with a DOOZY of a post.
It is fascinating to reference back through weeklies as my thoughts on things evolve and I find more related writings.

After this stressful week I didn't have a tech post in me. I will continue the Forgejo series soon, but for now, a counterpoint to my article on how I stayed with kindle books, and why I buy music instead.

Sneaker Pimp’s “Becoming X”

Yep, that’s the whole post. The entire reason I buy almost every track of music I enjoy is because of Sneaker Pimp’s “Becoming X.”

Another weekly post!? I am on a ROLL!
I am actually far more excited about the fact that I have a completely new theme and restructured a bit of my site.
I am hoping I get a cool page card when I share this and not some hot mess. Wish me luck 😆

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

This is in no way the most egregious thing facebook has done in the last few weeks but this is by far the most confusing to me. How does this new "free speech" and "no censorship" agenda intersect with flagging everything linux?

Putting a 🏳️⚧️ in my name here. Normally I don’t lead with “oh also I am trans” but it’s clear to me that this is what society needs me to do. It needs me to be very clear and open about my queerness.

I have been thinking a lot about how 2024 is the year Obsidian got "boring," and how that is a good thing.
When I first got into obsidian every plugin I touched was updated many times a week and app updates were flowing too. Now it's monthly updates for either at best.
