I started an all-trans punk band online, and my usual music is singer-songriter. The new project really pushed me, and turns music making into a social activity! I also started another solo project that is 100% cello covers of contemporary songs (last one I did was “girls just wanna have fun”). Both of these projects push me out of my usual, and breathe some fresh air into my music. Maybe you could find some ideas that pushes you out of your comfort zone?

I came here to mention Japan’s “Asia for Asians” campaign in the early 1900s. Glad to see I’m not the only history nerd commenting on this post!

That pit inside you won’t be filled by accomplishments, at least it wasn’t for me. The only peace I found was by accepting I’ll always feel that pit, and that I don’t need to try and fill it. The pit is an illusion, you are already valid!

…an appeals court ruled that CIMA, the acronym for the nonprofit that runs the park for the Peruvian government and administers the carbon credit project, had been improperly added as a co-defendant in the case. The appeals court threw out the ruling and with it the benefits ordered for the tribe, citing “the presence of insurmountable defects both in due process and in the motivation of the judicial decision."

What a ridiculous reason to throw out a ruling.

I have a little stone that is my travel stim

Good! Checking out Lemmy to see if r/nonbinary and r/enby should move here… wondering what server specs we’ll need…
