If you play sitar, are white and you’re in a rock band in the 21st century, just… don’t.
We already have “Within You Without You” and every other George Harrison sitar jam. We’re good for a century at least. We’ve passed the point of raga rock.

Excited to finally announce the release of my first ever book, and the first ever book from we here press. It is a pocket-size guide to my archival theories and experiences in the form of essays- some you may have heard in part as lectures, some which are unpublished until now.

We, as in people with empathy, morality, and common sense, have to desensitize ourselves to everything happening around us in order to stay sane.
NOTHING about this is normal.
Itemized payout for Thor Harris’ August 9 gig at the Sultan Room in Brooklyn. Includes a $400 charge for sound + lights, $50 marketing fee and $400 for an undefined item labeled as House Nut. The band received $0 for the performance.
Looks like Thor Harris got hosed by the Sultan Room last night.
Imagine playing what you assume will be the most profitable gig of a tour, only to be charged $400 for “House Nut”
DO NOT BOOK AT SULTAN ROOM IN BROOKLYN!
My friends in Thor & Friends got scammed and paid ZERO DOLLARS for a show that almost racked in between $700-800. They’re thieves!
Tomorrow night I will light incense and read a book. Tonight I will eat spaghetti with clam sauce. 🙏

The sculpture features the figure with a serene expression, draped in robes that fall naturally over the body. It resembles a Buddhist monk, but the image depicts the bodhisattva Jizō 地蔵 (Chinese: Dizang; Sanskrit: Kṣitigarbha). The backdrop comprises rough-hewn rock, forming a textured, natural frame around the statue. Above the figure’s head is a circular halo, also carved from the same stone, providing a distinct outline against the coarse surface. There is red letterpress on the bottom, indicating this is a vintage postcard. #JapaneseBuddhism #KoboDaishi #ShingonBuddhism
Despite the English caption, this is not a statue of the 9th century Buddhist monk Kōbō Daishi, otherwise known as Kūkai.
As the Japanese caption reads, this is a stone relief carving of the bodhisattva Jizō at Hakone, attributed to Kūkai’s skilled craftsmanship.

I guess it’s selfish that it all comes crashing down when it’s someone/something you love leaving when the world was burning way before they were a part of your life.
Your suffering becomes lime-lit while the universe is in absolute chaos. Where was your suffering then? Before love or safety left.
You can talk about absolute Buddha dharma all you want but it doesn’t mean anything unless you actually have to deal with it — loss, separation, change, grief.
I thought I’ve been dealing with those things.
But as of this week, I’m realizing I’m still only at the very bottom beginning tier.
