i have felt so fucking sad about the music industry for years now and only more and more crushed by the state of affairs in the current economy. this is such an important step to reversing the damage

I do feel a bit bummed that I don't seem to be hitting the balance with building stress tolerance vs. reducing stressors. I probably have to be ok with the idea that this is a project that requires consistent attention.

I hear it, but I also I don't feel like that profession is safe from the "Sandwich Artist" treatment where huge businesses rename their minimum wage employees to sound cool

Stuff like Glass Onion, or any Columbo episode where he is completely uninformed to the nature of a given field (i.e. the wine episode, Mexico, etc), holds up the comparison of observational modes. Buuut then on the other hand the original Sherlock is often Sherlock teaching *everybody* things.

I get the concept but think the comparison only works if the detective is literally in a place or situation where they don't even have foundational facts to work on. A lot of the big detective shows often feature a person who knows how to interpret extremely subtle details to reveal their conclusion

I've been feeling a bit burned out with my in person work. May post something here for anyone who wants to learn music, I think a break from the usual type of student might help.

I think ironically it is the exact same core tenants of simply Being Creative and Having Your Own Characters but just redirecting the supply chain so that someone else is giving you the sauce

I think HP is more obviously indefensible, but knowing how ubiquitous it was, it definitely had a Pokemon-like effect on my childhood. It was one of those series that *everyone* at least interacted with, whether they stuck with it through adulthood or not.

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

but it's not like we can all expect our childhood selves to pick the most moral companies and that if we had good vibes with them as a kid, that means they're still safe. leaving childhood can and should practically be a reset with how you perceive the world

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

maybe it's that protective layer of "there is so much stuff that we have nostalgia for that is demonstrably evil when pulling the curtain back" that i think is maybe just a bit psychologically overwhelming. seeing your childhood from the updated framing of "you DID fall for it" is....rough.

i am often left wondering what to do about the phenomena of media franchises having such powerful immersion that they induce fans into a perpetual mental gymnastics cuz tbh I can't point the finger. while pokemon is far from transphobic, it is peak corporate greed and i find myself using similar bs

one piece of advice i can share as a parent: certain phases can be really tough, but they do pass. around 18 months my son kept demanding that i condemn hasan piker. all day and night too, i was at the end of my rope. now he’s really into fire trucks. it’s always something new

I like that way of putting it...because it also underlines the difficult balance between prioritizing yourself and prioritizing what you do for others. But it also means the tragedy of losing the best seems to come much sooner than the joy of losing the worst.

and people like him care more about not dying than they do about having had something to live for, because their own existence is all they care about.

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I sometimes wonder if the core tragedy of things is how the worst people prioritize self-preservation. When someone cares about something, they put their whole essence into what they do, but that comes at a high physical tax on their body. #he on the other hand is a medical miracle (or abomination)

I've noticed that the way progressives communicate has actually been very helpful for my specific lines of work. I love listening to Mamdani and Sayed talk because they balance persuasiveness, firm principles, and civil dialogues incredibly well. It's given me examples of how to speak better.

this one hurts just knowing that tim's life after the stroke really changed a lot. i'm sure he still lived his best life where he could, but regardless i'm sad to see such a wholehearted person go through these experiences.

when it comes to people who are half software engineer, half musician, the software engineer half tends to win out on shitty decisions, from what i've seen working in the virtual instrument world.

I'm in no place to tell you how to live & I don't want to "I can fix them" all over your thread. It's bc you've always been a really positive presence on my feed &what you're feeling is understandable with what you've been through - it's why I want to at least try and offer a positive view of you.

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

wrt your situation, I think one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a person is to be reticent of what your needs are, and to be put in a situation where those needs are villianized. It creates a false dichotomy where you either have to "have better needs" or "accept not being enough"

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

This is speaking from a very personal perspective, so I'd say probably evaluate your own feelings on what feels right, but for me personally a lot of how I make progress is by trying to start with a small positive reinforcement then building up. So I lean towards positive self talk

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

my two cents, if it's worth it or not worth it. next time you're having a good day, force yourself to say it as if it is true, because you have the energy and willpower to push through the mental block. you've always struck me as a very intelligent person, but i think that makes it harder.

Are you trying to slide in a not-fake shocking anecdote to elevate the bit....or are you just trying to give me ideas on things I should be able to do.

And the problem is even *if* the curriculum was well paced and structured, the method is the problem. Genuinely the only practical application I consider a quiz format to be helpful is for learning how to *read* faster, and even then you should just use Teoria or musictheory.net for better quizzes.

musictheory.net

Introductory and intermediate music theory lessons, exercises, ear trainers, and calculators.

uncle bull @d0gvoid.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I think the big problem is that there's no real way to convert the gamified lessons they cover into practical application whatsoever. I can say with confidence that a Duolingo format would *never* work for learning music just based on my use on it for Spanish in 2019 -
