Insomnia getting very old. Honestly just imagining my favourite place to sleep helps a bit. And booking the next trip to go there.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

Most people don't have to fill out an immigration form saying 'are you a member of an antisocial or terrorist group or identify as an anarchist.' It's not a lack of education that keeps people here. Fwiw this has been on EVERY Long-term visa form I've filled out in 3x foreign countries

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Huh. So as owner Songtradr slashes the Bandcamp engineering team, they're also shutting down Songtradr. These two platforms do different things. Most of the actual Songtradr functionality is going to MassiveMusic. Apart from Bandcamp, anyone using those other tools?
