My inbox got flooded with new album releases on Bandcamp today. I'm not complaining, but just shocked at why so many releases came out on a random tuesday.

I picked up some great stuff today, but this Twisted Teens album (featuring Caspian from #BlackbirdRaum) is probably my favorite so far https://cpnpc.bandcamp.com/album/twisted-teens #Bandcamp

Visibly Mending My Blackbird Raum Shirt

One of my favorite t-shirts had some holes in it, so I finally took some time to repair it. I’ve long been a fan of r/VisibleMending on Reddit, but didn’t know how to go about doing a visible mending project myself. I asked around and ChurchHatesTucker had a great suggestion to use a buttonhole stitch and some high contrast embroidery thread:

That was great advice and I love how it turned out:

Visible mending is very similar to Kintsugi, in that the idea is to treat repairs as part of the history of a loved object, rather than tying to hide those repairs.

Struggling to find songs/lyrics angry enough for all my feels this week, but a winner emerges:

"The under-heel, the under-yoke
Breathe the gas to cough and choke.
Bleach out the oceans, castrate the wind,
Sterilize the blood so we die while we live.

"What we fear is what we pave,
So bury the planet in a concrete grave.
Say your prayers, cast your vote,
Place the predator's hands right around your throat."
