$729 to go.

The deadline passed, but I’m not giving up. I am not going to lose everything after years of abuse, torment, and financial instability right when I get a job and after the gracious support I’ve gotten. I won’t.

Streaming again to hopefully hit it today.

Also gonna tap the sign again.

Major western corporate media aren't exactly the arbiter of factual non US propagandist reporting when it comes to geopolitics.

For those of us that live within the belly of the beast, seeing more war.

We have to continually interrogate why we can count on this country's imperialist (at any point in history) pursuits above all else.

rhythm pools 01 - naissance, by 2 Mello 10 track album

I give myself a hard time about not being the best at learning new things, but I started saxophone at 34 and I'm already good enough to play on 4 of my new tracks. I don't even practice every day. So you should start learning that thing.

Dear Mother, what do you do when the fascists get you down? "When you’re acting in good faith, it’s hard to understand that other people simply aren’t giving you that good faith back."

A fitting send-off for Black History Month, by the inimitable @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social of @aftermath.site! Thanks for your wisdom, Amma Gita πŸ’œ

i hire a lot of artists who dont have game dev backgrounds because i believe in their ability to properly execute my vision. it is important to be able to train and mold your talent in the way that is best fit for your project and to be able to do that, you have to have the team structure 2 support.

I was 1/5 into writing this & thought, yeah I need to incorporate more rigorous Black political consciousness in my analytical work going forward.

So excited to announce that I have a few songs in DENSHATTACK! with some of the most amazing composers working right now. I can honestly say I never thought my name would be next to Shoji Meguro's, for one. An EP is out now with some of our songs!

I’m interested in true Black History Black History Month in the US, for a word, has become (has been) performative by the hegemonic society at large.

Published a new essay to remind myself that, despite US society's sanitization of Black history, I will ignore that and focus on what Black history really is for the path forward.

I have to raise at least $1915 to hold on. Please share and spread the word; I don’t want to lose the first opportunity I’ve had in over a year.

Thanks, guys. ❀️
