My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

shl 孤梦 👍

lotr ost songs doable

it's fingering conventions, mainly, but i play primarily by ear so fingering notation is not as important to me

why have i been so wary of learning dizi lol, i thought it would be a huge difference

anything i can play on a 12-hole ocarina i can play on this ahahaha, so i managed the moon represents my heart. gotta figure out if i can do the shl image songs too.

so if i understand dizi conventions right, the lowest note on this thing is actually D lol, which works out for me better tbh.

i was wrong lmao this is dizi fingering. UHH TURNS OUT WOODWINDS IS EASY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLAY

also the chorus to the audio drama version of wangxian dot mp3

i have already picked out 恭喜恭喜 on it, so i'm set for lunar new year

nearly two octaves likely doable if i finetune my breath control and technique. i am so rusty lmao.

3d printed flute with a yellow tassel attached

a friend 3d printed a flute for me. it may look sort of like a bamboo dizi but it's a western flute keyed to g. sound-wise it's really not too bad and it's much easier to manage in terms of weight as my hands are healing. i can get about an octave and half on it without getting too screechy.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

i was not prepared for aresh indolark not to chant magic spells but to sing them. incredible adaptation choice, 10/10. i love bean counter.

a round pottery piece with pig eyes and a snout

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

i can't take my editor's hat off when i read it and it drives me nuts

If he can only be happy in a relationship where you are in some way dependent or "inferior," he does not respect you.

If I had to give one piece of relationship advice to young women who are attracted to men, it would be to only date men you think would be fine with you making more. Nothing wrong with him making more or even you being a stay at home mom. But if he'd be triggered by you making more, he's a loser.

some of the best craftsmen in journalism cut their eyeteeth in the sports and finance beats, because learning how to report on news that stays fairly cyclical without making it samey or boring year/season in and out is an incredibly valuable aspect of journalism as craft.

i go on ao3 dot org and find a million spoof news or magazine bits that would never pass editorial review. can't even fake basic inverted pyramid.

Bugs and Daffy standing by a tree, sign reads DUCK SEASON, then RABBIT SEASON then ELMER SEASON, and they both glare ominously off camera

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

1. journalists deserve to be fairly compensated for their labour

2. journalism is a writing craft that traditionally runs on an apprenticeship model

these are things i think people miss all the time

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact
