He/him 🏴 Various noises in Threnodist Don't let your fire go out

Spending time away from criticism has gradually shown me just how little it does for art and music nowadays, especially with the Internet at everyone's fingertips. Go explore art and music for yourself, instead of crafting your taste based on some text influencer's whims.

Two members of my family suffered cancer diagnoses, but one unfortunately passed at a very young age. Don't EVER fake having it for the sake of stealing money, or at all. Absolutely fucking horrendous behavior

Six years since the start of COVID and this type of misinformation by omission is still rampant. The best protection against airborne pathogens is wearing a high quality mask.

What is the biggest infectious disease risk at World Cup matches?

Health experts say the more realistic worry is about respiratory diseases like the cold, flu, RSV, and COVID. These spread readily through the air—via coughs and sneezes—especially in crowded conditions. Many stadiums are outdoors, which helps cut down on transmission, but being in tight quarters next to someone who is sick could make you sick as well.How can I protect myself from getting sick?

It's advice you've heard since childhood, but doctors say the best defense against germs is washing your hands. Traditional soap and water work on a number of levels, from the physical removal and destruction of microbes on your hands to cleaning away any dirt and grime.

You can criticize Western fascist aggression and criticize authoritarian oppression in the East, but also not manufacture consent for Western warmongering. Not every imperialist and/or colonial entity is Western and multiple ethnic groups can, in fact, face oppression under state structures. Thanks!

Planning evil things (recognizing three of my favorite albums use a lot of triplets and figuring out how to use that as a bridge to combine these influences)

For those who are excited about Old Sorcery’s live debut at Fortress, just wanted to remind you that he releases music on Werewolf Records, a notorious NSBM label. Please reconsider your support

This one comment on AMG's recent Sp0tify article really messed me up. Playing every album digitally on mute to match your physical media listening for the end of year "Wrapped" statistics is wild ass behavior.

I use Sp0tify free version, purely to generate the end of year Wrapped statistics because I love that nerdy shit. So I play my physical albums, or I play my mp3 songs/albums on iTunes (!!) but whatever I listen to, I queue up on Sp0tify free with the volume down, and "play" it all there too, muted, for an as accurate-as-possible year end summary of my listening habits.

Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will hit the streets in the US for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic. With so many new folks marching, rallying, and taking action, there’s a growing need to disseminate information on keeping ourselves & others safe.

Love being reminded of the fact that this necrotic, colonial ass society doesn't give 30 fucking damns and then some about disabled people.
