ACK! I should have put this Pizzicato Five song up during the Artemis II flight. The band uses a sound clip from a previous NASA space flight. Lots of funky mid-century modernist spacy sounds.

How will attitudes change if students like me aren’t taught the truth about British colonial history?
The skewed perspectives in my A-level curriculum are staggering. Until that changes, harmful ideas about race and migration will live on, says Emerging Voices winner Astrid BarltropAstrid Barltrop (The Guardian)

No, this is not the long-term project I've been promising. (That one still has a little ways to go.)
This is sort of an off-side project that could be long-term, maybe it'll be more interesting than I realize, maybe I'll break new ground in the process (bold statement I know).

I love lyrics, I think I like the worldbuilding stuff most of all. I tend to favor french musicians for that, but I think Purity Ring writes some of the most evocative stuff for English speakers.

@Mastodon I’m a big badge collector, so this made my day. My official Mastodon enamel pin badges arrived today, and seeing all three laid out on their backing cards just makes them even better.
The classic logo pin, the glittery Live Laugh Federate design, and the Mastodon Elephant pin all look brilliant. Really happy to support Mastodon at the same time.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.
Without donor contact, these machines are useless. 🙁
I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.
