I took a lot of shit for going public with this then but I still haven't been paid.
Reached new lows with trying to get paid for my 2023/24 year from my old label Three Lobed. Really not sure what to do anymore, over a year with no updates & now getting ghosted completely. Ive prepared a statement with 1099/bandcamp sale records but not sure it will do anything if I even shared it.

NORCO ($4.94) - southern sci-fi gothic that drags your ass all the way down to louisana. first: to tie up loose ends after your mother's passing.

thanks to all the dunking i went and looked at the account that calls out grifters which are so-called elite, and that's five minutes i'll just never get back. some of the absolute dumbest poasting around
*slaps roof of Obama library* this bad boy can price out so many working class black families in the neighborhood whose wealth was destroyed in the '08 financial crisis and never bailed out by Obama unlike the banks
I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

elon musk provoking shankill road loyalists into conducting an anti-immigrant pogrom reminds me of how loyalist compounds in northern ireland fly apartheid south african, rhodesian (and more recently) israeli flags.
