Honestly I'm not looking forward to the day someone makes a smug five-hour video essay claiming that the MCU films somehow prove all Americans secretly wanted f@scism.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Spent this past weekend doing initial recording with @gblasercat.bsky.social for our first album, All Along The Milky Way. They got WAY more pictures than I did during the process, but I made sure to take one of the vocal booth when I was recording "Burning Bright."

Preparing to record an album for the first time feels a lot like planning my wedding did, by which I mean I'm unreasonably anxious and just had a small meltdown over a single tiny detail that won't even matter.

I maintain that "Thea von Harbou vs. Any Character in Metropolis" would also work, as would "Fritz Lang vs. Literally Any Cast Member in Metropolis," ESPECIALLY if it's Brigitte Helm.
Speaking of solo games this morning, at Gamefacecon I told @zannenilsson.bsky.social, my resident "Fritz Lang Scholar/Bearer of Horrifying Facts" that someone needs to play @goblinmixtape.bsky.social's Death of the Author as Fritz Lang vs Literally Any Character In Metropolis. Someone go do that!

Wendy Carlos made electronic music go from a novelty to a full-on mainstream genre back in 1968. Daft Punk and many others wouldn't even EXIST if it weren't for her.
It's #womenshistorymonth! Have you heard abt the "trans godmother of electronic music"? in the 60s at Columbia U, she assisted Moog in the development of his synthesizer, & soon released the album Switched-On Bach, kickstarting a successful & innovative music career.

I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

Downside to Being Queer in 2025: My wife and I getting dirty looks from everyone in the conservative area where she works, one of whom threw a piece of bread at our car.
Upside to Being Queer in 2025: It's too expensive to throw eggs at our car.
