On 303 Day, acid bassline love abounds, and some freebies, too - CDM Create Digital Music Roland is fairly quiet on this 303 Day, but in the maelstrom of terrible news, it was a relief to see the Japanese music community out in force. This is what we really strive for: a world where we can...

Here, have way, way too much #303Day stuff, including a free Max for Live instrument (and Max 303 patching tutorial), free sounds, discounts on plug-ins, a ton of players showing off the 303 and adjacent instruments (especially from Japan), a music mix, and a gorgeous music video.

For me, getting a northern lights reflection is the holy grail of nature photography. Requires an absolutely incredible amount of patience and luck, but the results are hard to beat.

conservatives want to go back to an age where women didn’t have any public restrooms because they were expected to never leave their homes.

cross dressing laws were widely used to arrest & jail women for wearing pants.

married women couldn’t open private bank accounts until the 1970’s.

Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

Re-upping this because delivery around Portland could be arranged, because people are kind and generous.

So if you're trans and want a "I don't have to think about dinner tonight, phew" dinner, please DM.

I do bulk cooking for distribution regularly!

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program.

Then Sinai followed a few days ago.

The appeals to "the science" to support youth gender medicine were thin as hell, which is why the medical societies are backing away, and it was reckless to burn their credibility here when they needed it for things like vaccines that do have strong scientific backing

there's so much elite media denial that it was the exact same group of people promoting vaccine denial as were promoting the trans panic. reading tweets like this or singal's ny times op-ed, you'd think they were two separate and opposed groups.
