i've left twitter (except for emergencies), but i hate that it seems like it's still the place to get new eyes on your work and to connect with other artists who are also trying to grow. i don’t want to miss out on connections, but i really don’t want to feed the fascism machine with my presence.…

given everything going on it's been hard not to feel disheartened, but I've been so thankful to discover lately how many friends I still have in this vocalsynth space, even though I've been inactive for so long. you guys make this space still feel like home, thank you for making me feel welcome 🩡

hey friends, it's come to my attention that CQ has been removed from Apple Music, Amazon, possibly other platforms too. i'm working towards a resolution

my instinct is that it’s irresponsible not to signal your age as an adult in a fandom space with minors, but i also worry that it would turn people away or lead to assumptions about my work, even though my pages will never contain explicit content πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

genuinely curious about peoples thoughts on this!

i keep going back-and-forth on it, so im curious about y’all’s thoughts β€” what’s the general consensus on adults putting their age/age range in their bio? is it helpful for protecting minors, or is it too weird/awkward, too personal, or potentially alienating?

I've seen discourse surrounding artists "peaking" at 30 and I just want to say don't fall for that trap!
I'll be 45 this year and I don't think I've ever been more resolute about my work.
Existence and perseverance is art; you can not PEAK yourself. Every iota of creation you make is a miracle.β˜„οΈ

by the way, if you like Candle Queen, you might like my song Commander of the Crows! they're both story-songs about outcasts with a vague menacing energy youtu.be/KMxPd_0d1b4
