Alright, deleting twitter! See you in a week and a day, friends 🌸

So you know how websites can setup oath to log in via google or twitter or whatever? You should be able to do that from one mastodon server to another, so I could exist on multiple servers while only needing to sign in once.

not on bandcamp so I'm not putting it in the thread, but I listened to "Wild Heart EP" by Bec Sandridge on @esten's recommendation.

This sort of music is so comfortable me, like wearing my favorite sweater or being held by my gf on a crisp autumn evening.

"but clarity, I don't know what I'd write a letter about"
Good!! That will make it a better letter. What's something that you've been turning over in your mind? Is there a threshold you feel on the verge of crossing? Tell me a story about an event that made you feel something.

a thing that doing this bandcamp thing is revealing is how hard it is to write about music. I feel like I'm slowly learning. I often have to listen to albums two or three times to actually know what to say about them.

every trans girl and transfemme I see out in the world is such a blessing and gift, gosh

Dog-Maw and the Plastic LA Skyline - FLUKE

I've had to re-listen to this like 5 times the last few work days bc I found it immediately sunk into the background of my consciousness in a home-y sort of way. A bouquet of diverse and charming songwriting.

I'm gonna be on vacation from this wednesday through the next, and I think I'm gonna delete twitter from my phone and be generally less online for the course of it. wanna stay in touch? write me a letter! or an email or whatever! it doesn't have to be long or interesting :)

The new Clarity purposefully looks at queer girls until we make eye contact, and then smiles at them

I think I flustered a cashier girl. She was staring at me, and then I complimented her necklace and she stammered and mentioned “lots of cute outfits in spring” (it’s summer, babe) and asked me if I wanted the food for here or to go two different times

finally found some pins that girls consistently compliment me for and of course they are @meyoco_@twitter.com pins

Good morning, friends, it’s friday! Hope you’ve all made it through the week with your feet on the ground 💖

rook&nomie - SUPEREGO ROYAL JELLY

Very good sadgirl pop. Makes me want to dance and then cry and then both. The production has a wonderfully rich sound to it that eases me into the heavy moods.

kelly moran - Origin EP

Hypnotic piano work, sometimes reminiscent of debussy or other early modern composers, filtered through... a prepared piano? effects? I'm not sure, but it's an amazing sound, floating right between percussion and melody.

Laurie Spiegel - The Expanding Universe

Spiegel's brilliant clean tones show an amazing confidence in her sequencing and composition, and it's well-earned because damn this stuff sounds great. I need to figure out what she's doing so I can do it too. https://unseenworlds.bandcamp.com/album/the-expanding-universe

almost there 🌱

Seth Martin and the Menders -
Putting the Sky to Sleep

Some good good lush folks sounds, the kind that makes you wish you were singing along around a campfire. A lovely wistful energy.

good morning, friends 🌱 it’s another cloudy day. i’m feeling refreshed from going to bed extra early, excited for my upcoming vacation, and a bit lost and trapped in a lingering bad mood that i’ve been trying to navigate my way out of. how are you?
