I'm finally done making my February 2023 playlist! It's a long one at about 4 hours with 65 songs, but there's never too much good music, am I right?

Another brilliant @cyberlyra opt-out experiment: how to escape Disneyland’s surveillance apparatus. Hint: paint your kids’ faces, give them fake names, and struggle to get food. https://www.publicbooks.org/data-free-disney/
Data Free Disney - Public Books

Each day, 50,000 people enter Disney’s theme parks, along with their phones, purchases, locations, and photos. What happens to the data?

at my kid's hair appointment. phone buzzes with the news of the spy balloon being shot down RIGHT as Nena's 99Luftballons plays on barber's Spotify. 🤯

look i know we live in an ever-recirculated version of the 80s but...can we get a new timeline, maybe?

Your last saved selfie is you on the outside. Your last saved meme is you on the inside.

If you are in need of:
- good music
- joy
- a wild history lesson
- dancercize
- flamboyant costuming

get thee to Bony M's "Rasputin": https://youtu.be/16y1AkoZkmQ

When I was a young Canadian kid, most families had at least one Boney M record. Their Xmas songs are killer.

"Let 2023 be a year of experimentation and invention!

Let it come from the edges, the margins, the provinces, the marshes!"

listening to my moth soul.
My dear, I am done

I have almost 150,000 followers on Twitter. About 1/10th of that on Mastadon, yet Mastadon is often getting superior engagement for the same ideas.

I think more people need to know this is a place worth investing time in.
