i have my first serious gig as a musician and the venue asked me for a tech rider, and they gave me a tool to help if i dont have a tech rider already and through this tool i discovered the maximum amount of trombones i can request is 12

🚫“My dad died on my birthday so I don’t really like celebrating it”
-depressing
-kinda makes it seem like my dad wronged me

✅“God smote my father on my solar return and annually I plot my revenge against God”
-implies familial beef with god
-no follow up questions needed
-has an action item

If only it wasn’t culture creation in the hands of big tech 😭

Ooo oh yeah I forgot about that, I learned what EA are bc I lived in the Bay Area for 3 months

What’s the opposite of vibes,
Like we need an anti-vibe use-brain club

I like Bluesky because I’m happy not knowing how many people looked at this but didn’t interact with it. It feels more void-screamy

30 seconds in getting off a bus in 42nd and 8th I sing to myself alicia keys’ New York (wet dream tomato version) out loud, I get hit on, I cut a guy off on my bike and I go into the subway where a guy is playing alicia keys’ New York (trumpet version)
I AM LIVING

It’s not CPU it’s not GPU but a secret third thing

new goal drop: I want to be an artist in resident making graphics on neromorphic hardware

Met my aunt and uncle for the first time as an adult and good news they’re chill and cool

Die with me I think it was called

Just a warning everyone this Sunday is GLSL’s 21st birthday

Yeah,,. I feel like if I say something it’ll b dramatic but like maybe something that’s less dramatic like “ooo you actually get it!” but then I feel passive aggressive anyways I shouldn’t be Blueskycrashingout

Happy Labor Day, the holiday designed to erase May Day in America undercut ties with the radical globally united labor movement and promote a domesticated and patriotic vision of labor which is why there’s no general strike while fascism marches on, for those who celebrate!

When you’re doing “well” online it makes it so hard to not feed the machine more. like I had a video get 1m views and now I want to dedicate so much time to making more like it but I have to actively resist to invest in other things that I think will be better for my career but I’m not sure
