I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

“the vibes have shifted” is passive voice. “tech oligarchs made deliberate changes to social media algorithms which altered the way most people perceive reality in a successful attempt to engineer business-favorable outcomes” is more EW WOKE CRINGE but it’s also direct, accurate, and meaningful

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

One of my favorite bits of nerdy music theory is that the rhythmic pattern in "Pyramid Song" by Radiohead is 3+3+4+3+3, which maps onto a pyramid with a square base (4 sides) and four triangular faces (3 sides each)

Good day #synthsky - here's a short snippet of a jam with my beloved Jupiter 8. It's a monster, and definitely deserves its reputation. Sound quality not the best - I just recorded on my iPhone, but you'll get the idea. I'm going to share some audio clips for you to use as you please soon ♥️

The Spotify CEO, Spotify, and streaming music itself wouldn’t exist without the prior work of the musicologist, composer, and pianist Nolan Gasser. So instead of supporting Spotify, learn about Nolan Gasser and you’ll understand the true value and impact of music. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_G...

This is why I think Metallica was on to something with napster. If you know a musician or band, please support by buying their physical media (in whatever way — bandcamp, etc.) and then stream.

A few important fact to remember: S. Korea lived under some form of military dictatorship from 1965-1988! Brazil lived under a military dictatorship from 1964-1985! Democracy is not an abstraction to these folk, it's a vulnerable thing that they want to protect.
