Toward an Understanding of Fascist Aesthetics, Part I The question of whether or not we are living “in fascism” is, I’ve always thought, a kind of useless one, mostly because history does not go backwards: today there is not a “return” to fascism so much...

hello I am now a member of @flaminghydra.com and am kicking things off with a multi part series on fascist aesthetics and what their whole deal is flaminghydra.com/toward-an-un...

growing up, other kids told me i was dumb & gay & a girl. turns out they were right..

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

i only write on substack when somebody dies lol

rip to my favorite composer/artist/proposer of sound, i would be close to nothing without her

sometimes trans women get ideas above their station. that’s why it’s important to cancel them periodically

Ragger - 𝙀𝙪𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨 - lovingly reviewed in @pitchfork.com by @purityolympics.bsky.social:

"By representing antiquated musical styles with vigorously bright and cheery tones that would sound equally vintage in 1976 or 2026, Ragger exit the time flow and ask for the music to be taken as it is."

Ragger: Euphonic Sounds Read Aly Eleanor’s review of the album.

went long on joplin and @hausumountain.bsky.social's new ragtime covers album

To correct slightly, it IS the Method, just not Strasberg's bullshit version of it. Meisner (Duvall's teacher) & Adler (Brando's) are the closest the West got to where Stanislavski actually ended up, rather than Strasberg, who ripped a page from the middle of the book.

oh hell yeah hometown representation

what's the best / preferred recording

Fred Willard in 'I Think You Should Leave' playing a Contraption

Meet the Minneapolis Punks Fighting ICE People in the DIY music scene are using the community organizing tactics they learned by putting on shows to battle ICE.

In the greater story of Minneapolis’ resistance to ICE, one chapter absolutely belongs to the punks organizing at every level. They’re observing, fundraising, running supplies, opening their spaces, coordinating, etc.

A story for @rollingstone.com. Thanks to everyone who spoke on the record.

oops you can buy new tapes of my old album yippee

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Wong Kar-wai’s In The Mood To Meet Up And See Where Things Go

don’t mind me I’m just “living in the moment” (never having any idea who anybody is and shedding near-term memory like a lizard losing its tail)

It just hit me that Justin Bieber inviting lil b to pop up on his album called Swag was like a land acknowledgement for the word swag
