Now’s when we put on Hackers (4k Blu-ray Shoutfactory release) and work on music

This lineup for Sunday 2/23/25 at Kindred Spirits Satellite in Richmond, VA is amazing! #ambient #experimental #shoegaze #kindredspirits #rva

So #rva and #synthsky this is what I do to restore my balance and find my footing. I'm really looking forward to sharing some breaks and house tracks at The Camel in March and playing with such a great group of musicians from the Richmond Synth Collective. I love the Richmond music community.

Mood

Hey @markwarner.bsky.social is this worse for our state than “over-wokeism”? Maybe this is more important to get mad about than getting mad about people calling out other people for spewing slurs.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

I don’t know @markwarner.bsky.social, maybe if you whine to Newsweek more about “woke” they’ll stop? Maybe find a Senator and see if they have the power to do anything.

Oh hey I’m playing with other members of the Richmond Synth Collective at The Camel March 21st! I’ll be performing a modular synth set of minimal breaks and house beats, if you’re into that sort of thing come on out. www.thecamel.org/shows/richmo...

New level unlocked! #constitutionalcrisis

They are ignoring the courts. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

“Roem… pointed to Virginia laws that prohibit LGBTQ+ discrimination in ‘places of public accommodation’ — which include publicly funded hospitals such as UVa Health. “‘It’s pretty clear,’ she said.” www.newsfromthestates.com/article/uva-...

So I’m playing at The Camel on Friday, March 21st with some other wonderful people from the Richmond Synth Collective. Come on out, assuming we’re still doing that sort of thing by March! Going to go freak out now. www.thecamel.org/shows/richmo...

Me: “ugh this song I’m working on doesn’t have enough changes in it to be interesting.” Also me: plays the same 16 bar loop all day while working today, gets up and adjusts the snare hit sound once”

Saturday.

Seven restaurants including Philly Vegan, Mama J’s and Croaker’s Spot will be offering “pay-what-you-can” on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in honor of Black History Month.

Charlottesville: The UVA Board of Visitors is hosting a “special meeting of the full board” this Friday, Feb. 21 from 9:30-11:30AM to discuss and possibly restrict gender-affirming care at UVA medical facilities for those <19 again despite the executive order being blocked twice in court last week.

I wonder if @markwarner.bsky.social thinks this is just another example of Trump being “ahead of his time.” Hey Mark, you had plenty of time to whine to Newsweek about “woke,” so maybe you have a few minutes to push back on this bullshit?

Actual self declared Nazis are illegally destroying the federal government and bringing back segregation and @markwarner.bsky.social is giving interviews complaining about “wokeism” and how the fascists have a point.

Working on a grove. #synthsky

If we don't support the people on the front lines of pushing back on fascism, we have nothing. Come on #rva.

This family moved from Tennessee to rva in 2023 to get their kid the care needed and vcu health pulled the rug out under them a couple weeks ago. They’re not rich, they’re just our community member and bravely they signed onto the @aclu.org lawsuit against the executive order banning care for kids.

Saturday fun day ? 🙃🙂

Richmond Synth Collective meetup was a blast as always. #rva #synthsky

Getting ready for the Richmond Synth Collective meetup today at Reveler, in Carytown - 2pm to 5pm, free, open to the public! Hang out time at the beginning, and some live performances. Come and enjoy some music and some community at an incredible, inclusive space for music. #rva #synthsky

like, this is just fucking insane. the government is pretending that it passed the Inverse Civil Rights Act overnight and everyone is acting like it's a real law.

Had a great time at the opening party for I Love You So Much Bookstore!
