I Am Providence ‘The Voice Of Death’

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-vo...

A ferocious debut fusing noise and political rage into a cathartic sonic assault against technofascist hypercapitalism and systemic violence.

Trying to edit a chapter I've never liked and making things to avoid it

I talked about abject feral noise, sonic ghosts, and the unspoken with @africanpaper.bsky.social recently

Lately, I've been preoccupied making video for a friend's upcoming live shows. Because sometimes you need more than one form of making things to function as a sort of being in the world, but tempered through some other medium, aside from you and your body, lest it get too close. The world, that is.

Thank you!

It's maybe three sentences of mine, but me and a few others contributed to this exquisite corpse of a short story

The Spectral Light “Obliteration”

a visceral, atmospheric journey shaped by improvisation, deep literary roots, and a shared affinity for both crushing heaviness and ghostly ambience.

A picture of a book cover. The cover is a photo of a modernist high school, with a set of staggered stairs leading up to the door. One window in the upper left is open, and a figure stands in it looking out. The sky is evening-hued, going from a greyish blue at the top to a warm pale yellow just above the roof of the school. The book is titled Final Exam, in large pink type. The middle point of the M stabs downwards, shaped like a knife. Below the title, it reads "If you fail...you'll just die." The author's name is A. Bates, and below the name it reads "Author of Party Line." This is a Scholastic book, according to the red Scholastic logo in the lower left.

After months of dealing with eye issues, surgeries, and lingering vision things that made it impossible to write much at all, I'm getting back to my dissertation draft rewrites. It feels a lot like this, honestly.

I fear we're on track for a world in which AI has more rights than, say, american women

I should be in Birmingham (the UK one) right now bjt im not because of endless vision things. But hey maybe soon

Light reading. My tween mall is featured prominently early on as one of the first malls in the US. Horrifying flashbacks - except for the hot pretzels, those were always good.

Oh god I cannot wait

im all set to graduate Columbia University majoring in " Cowardice " , with a minor in "Kissing Fucking Ass" a nd "Prostrating myself "

Historian of slavery here this is like freedom seekers and free blacks being kidnapped by marshals and sent to the south. The Anti Man Hunting League in Boston with local chapters in the Commonwealth fought to prevent it.

Uuugh I hope rain arrives soon

Spring equinox:
First flowers of the year, snowdrop and crocus. Distant, cold scent like snowmelt and obscured sunlight, poisonous and heady

I've been quiet lately for... a lot of reasons.

But honestly: Fuck all this shit. Gloves off.

Cowards to the back.

"The drug user movement is constantly losing our members & our leaders. Our very capacity to fight is constantly under siege from the grave. We are being disorganized by death, by social murder. We are not what we were. We are now a ghost-bloodied movement." www.crackdownpod.com/episodes/epi...

Yeah so vote to fuck everyone in a slightly different but ultimately worse way. Good call, man.

For real, I can't stand it

With everything else that's going on, you'd think that pre-meeting anxiety would sort of fade into the background but no, still here. Might be worse even.
