Hey, Twin Cities folks! I'm in an upcoming show that I'm excited about.
It’s visual art, it’s theater, it’s music, it’s ritual, it’s community meditation, it’s one of those •experiences• that defies categorization. It's the brainchild of Summer Hills-Bonczyk, who runs the cermics studio at Macalester, and I'm working with her brother to create music for the show.
I have a good feeling about this. I think it's going to be really cool!

@beka_valentine There's a category error people who say this are making: they're equating a particular model of gravity, which is a theory, with the empirical facts that model is attempting to explain and make predictions about.
It's unfortunate that both of these are commonly called "gravity".

Yeah, noone's going to argue about that. Minecraft is the peak gaming icon, that is literally what your mom wishes gaming was all about.
It just came quite late into the gaming history. That's why people will still think to the older cultural events like WoW or Tetris. But yeah, minecraft is the obvious choice.
So, for my juniors, when I tell you "typing is not the bottleneck", I know what I'm fucking talking about.
It took me a couple of weeks to re-create 4 months worth of work. If I had to bet, I'd bet my second edition was *better* than the edition I lost.
So we come down to the day, and I am ready.
I'm not saying it's nothing to worry about.
It's *definitely* something to worry about.
I'm saying that it's not like that somehow defeats us. It's not like "it's all over" if that happens.
Shit's likely to get pretty bad before it gets better, but that's not the same thing as losing.
I’ve just finished The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis, & there’s an excerpt I can’t stop thinking about.
It’s about how ways of knowing are never neutral, never free. How every system sharpens certain understanding at the expense of others. And how, in pursuing clarity, we sometimes lose things and forget they were ever there.
A short piece from me, and the excerpt itself. Take your time with it. Let it work on you.
