Grammatically animate. Multi-instrumentalist storyteller and fractal artist exploring multicultural faerie-lore (esp. music.) Studying how festivals and public events can foster holistic, relational, and long-term thinking. I also follow chronic illness and developmental disability posts.

This is a very dangerous lunatic. RFK Jr: “The polio vaccine "killed many, many more people" than polio ever did.”

Insane Clown Posse *knew* they didn't understand how magnets work, which makes them more qualified than Inane Clown Potus.

With Trump posing in front of John Deere tractors, here's a reminder that John Deere is one of many corporations lobbying against Right to Repair laws, which hinders military readiness.

An open letter to corporate scumbags: you do not get to trademark an indigenous Nahuatl word for your chip company, and you don't get to change Nahuatl pronunciation rules to be easier to market. "Xochitl" belongs in songs, poems, and names of the people whose word it is, not emblazoned on schlock.

Arts funding in the US will suck for the foreseeable future. Then again, we're in a situation where your first drafts and rough takes will already feel more rooted and plausible than anything being done by the regime, so there's no reason not to work on that improbable masterpiece of yours.

The first interesting niche I found when joining Bluesky was marine biologists on the platform. I have a post on my website (from my 2011 Dr. Who CD) that for once overlaps a little. kaade.net/composition-... @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

The problem with chess as an analogy for politics is that the only thing anyone actually sacrifices in the game are advantages. Fairy chess with pain inflicted for every piece lost ("Stabby Chess", "Voltage Chess"?) would be a better metaphor to understand real-world conflict.

Now I know why Hamilton writes like he’s running out of time.

The Exonerated 5: 14-16, coerced confessions Tech-bro traitors: 19-24, best education money can buy, witnessed in the act by long-serving fed workers The narrative of the latter does not get to be about "youth" and "inexperience" when Trump called for the former to die, even after DNA exoneration.

MAGA apologists think they're playing leapfrog, but they're joining the human centipede: the view and the food aren't gonna change.

The extent of voter suppression should be frightening, but it makes me hopeful to realize not even a plurality supports the regime. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

For autistics, other neurodivergent people who process language differently, and second-language speakers, the word "literally" is like using a Safe Word in consensual kink. It lets us know what layer of meaning to process. Using the word wrong removes a safety accommodation.

If the United States lets business school graduates decide what medical care people receive, an MBA should require volunteer hours in free clinics and hospitals.

I don't know about "nationally televised" but I'll be happy to do what I can. @aprylknight.bsky.social ?

Exciting news for diabetics... I'm sure it will take years of trials to be generally available but there's is hope for a more manageable and less error prone therapy. https://youtu.be/lVTS_J7Xmxs?si=2SHgrw3TsmPYhU1G #diabetes
