BEYOND THE FLEETING GALES - CRYING

I think I've bawled my eyes out to every track at this point for different reasons. not even exaggerating. once you think you're done with it you get hit with a brand new emotion and find new symbolism in the lyrics. and another painful feeling to unfurl and free yourself from. if I could get everyone to listen to an album this would be my pick

Favourite Crime (bass-boosted), by Tzekin

I love when someone sings like they're about to cry, and Olivia Rodrigo has this down to a science. She starts most of her torch songs almost whimpering before they crescendo into the vocal equivalent of someone heaving and sighing. This version is special. My body physically reacted when I first heard it—the way the atmosphere echoes and amplifies each tearful run. The sadness doesn’t just sit; it flickers, then soars and crashes like a swell. The song tumbles through this newly built ambience, breaking apart before pulling itself back together. Our Piscean vocalist is all water—rippling, drowning, caught in the undertow of her own tears.

unplatform - a guide for leaving social media

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
