I'm in a mood to reclaim a word, or more accurately, toss a perverse normalised appropriation into a volcano.
I only want to see or hear "content" when it is preceded by table of, or followed by of ones character.
Part of not feeding the hate machine is actively invalidating the fever dream and delusional "aspirationalism" that every bit of derivative performative drivel, disinformation, or slop deserves platform or grandstanding.
Let's practice more CONTENT NEGATION.
Do what now?

Where are my #industrial #ebm #goth adjacent fedizens? I know there are at least 5 of us. But I hope all might give my first live show in 6 years a go.

It's dance but a bit dark, with definite dystopian vibes and some implied horror from the material and the hacked satellite feeds. There is beauty in the darkness and you have to acknowledge otherism to pummel it. There shall also be some lighter #synthpop fare, for the people.

The amount of mothballed, rug pulled, spun out, rejected by actual humans projects, stacks, protocols, platforms that had low barrier access to "tech" funding, fedi adjacent alone reads like a google graveyard.
Devs, possibly oblivious to malice, often very disjointed from the probable use cases, needs and struggles of others reckon they have THE idea "we" need.
This gets funding based on speed of code rather than considering communities to engage co-dev for tools we actually want or need.

oh thank goodness, I was getting worried the brands and creators didn't have enough tools to bury us with moar non-interative firehose of consumption

Didn't get much sleep last night. Greenhouse temp got down to around 5. Outside was waffling around 2! Flashbacks to some of last years 6 summer frosts that wiped out heaps and set us back so much. Not today happily.
Orchards and young field crops fine and was another sunny day pushing 40 in greenhouse. Wild.
Enjoy some early raspberries under and around figs in the greenhouse before things like tomatoes and cucumbers dominate the airspace.

From my rounds of the grounds yesterday. I wouldn't call it sage advice but I do advise sage even if in a pot in a small space. For serious even green varieties have many health and of course culinary uses, are bee friendly and I reckon handsome as! Being an awesome perenial I've lost track, probably over 100 transplants started from seed around are the place and have made lovely rows and clusters amongst other crops and trees.

Feel like the feed needs some balance again. Have some flowers and some positive soil building. Also the first proper overs of the season have been bowled albeit clunky and in spite of ph.
One of the mobile chook houses and runs is the Chicken Palace Grandstand. The "batting end" is the Controlfreak Memorial Compost Pavillion end. Just a bit of fun in spaces not suited for food, fodder or perma stuff.

Oh my I just can't with the feed today. Maybe you can't either. Here have a rustic bouquet. Heaps of our marginal spaces or spots that should or could never be food are becoming increasingly and perpetually bathed in flowers and herbs of all manner. For our pollinator allies, and don't ruin my goth cred here but yeah some splashes of colour for the humans too.

Fuck yesterday (Monday), flat battery in main vehicle when needed, chainsaw blew out a chain when needed, a weld on a farm implement packed a sad when needed... get the theme? Stupid internet and tech projects overwhelm futility hangover to boot.
Today however aside from a cracked hose failing on a sprayer and spewing 6 month old seaweed and fish compost tea in muh hair I got way more done than body should. Rating today a firm didn''t have to!
So amigo, today with regards to the a k you:

Been much too long since I posted a reminder that #bees are well rad and to be bee friendly! Here is an apian ally working some comfrey amongst a fruit orchard.
Try to have some pollinator friendly fun wherever you can, even a pot on a balcony!

#bandcampFriday #faircampFriday
If you like your oontz a bit darker here is heaps of #industrial, #ebm, powernoise, #synth, techno, dnb, house, noise, soundscapes, various dystopian bangers and noisier horrors. Most of my releases under various monikers from the past few decades and a few sound and loop libraries too.
https://music.control.org
Dig around there should be something tolerable.
Take what you like in #solidarity. If you have the means, a donation is very helpful and well received.

This #bandcampFriday, due to declining health I haven't much new but remixes. But I do have a roof over my head.
So I'm asking that if you might enjoy some dark oontz, #ebm, #industrial, synthpop, noise, powernoise, soundscapes, tech, house or even sound assets for music and game building, please go get all my #faircamp things for zero.

Then consider please taking a moment on behalf to help out my cousins @npub1z7e…y590 and @npub1lmq…59n9 .
