Account had been disabled/seemingly ceased to exist? Unusual but apparently resolved now.

Legitimately just start to feel like I'm at the end of my musical career. I just really CBA with the way that I feel about putting on shows or trying to promote our material. If people eventually find it under all the myriads of slop and shite everywhere and like it, then great.

Bad time to be an Orange Goblin fan, everyone assumes you mean the US president

I never want to become one of those musically incurious, "music was better in my day" guys, but, in an era driven by slop, I'm tired of having to treat everything new I hear with the scepticism that it might not be real and is just the product of some grifter content "creator"

Diiiickhead advertisements everywhere. Get in the fucking bin. I want to see the real, cool, things that real, actual people in our communities are *actually* doing. Not whatever corporate slopgenda that's currently being pushed.

Facebook's latest ad trend is an endless barrage sloppy startups. Who's buying that shite, I mean really?

Literally every other story on insta is an ad now. Please fuck off. I want to see what bands and friends are up to not "click here to buy for three tabs"

Now that we're more actively working on new material, I feel even more restless about getting it done

My daughter (4) has decided the new song I'm working is about sausages.

Been dipped from a rescheduled show without the courtesy of a conversation. Cool.

Took my app timers off for a little while because I found myself needing more time to do band/event related admin. And you know what happened? Feeds got worse & I started to feel much shitter again. No surprise really. Limits reinstated.

Current trend in metal event slop posters seems to be fire, lightning, skulls, yknow the usual and a bit of grit. Except it still misses the mark of the kind of cringe "epic" metal posters of yore. Meanwhile, I did a digital painting of a fortnite screencap for our next event poster cause lol lmao

Idk if I'm missing something but I'm seeming to see a lot of posts that appear to reference something specifically without naming what it is that they're talking about and with scarce context clues. Guess those posts just aren't for me but it does make me wonder.

🌸🌴 Mercury's Well🌴🌸 @mercuryswell.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
Gonna draw a little while this evening I think Event poster and probably some release art for the next record which we'll start recording... eventually lol

You're in a "keep getting worse" competition and your opponent is Meta

Lot of pro-war propaganda around atm. Can't we launch these fucking cunts into the sun?

Just a lot of things angrying up the blood, can't wait to pump that into some of my most aggressive vocal work ever.

7th March gig postponed. Boo Writing session instead? Hellyeah

As if I didn't hate doing mandatory training enough *BEFORE* It's now clearly been slop generated, full of errors and shoddy imagery. The company spent HOW much on this new development for it to be worse somehow? Fmal lol

🌸🌴 Mercury's Well🌴🌸 @mercuryswell.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
I think that maybe it's not the most appealing, but I just want to fill the next release with weird little bits and interludes

Just going to start reporting ads full of slop as scams. Represent your product faithfully, or don't bother.

Shovelling unused riffs into my riff fueled riff engine to make worse, even less usable riffs

🌸🌴 Mercury's Well🌴🌸 @mercuryswell.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
Decided a while back today be pretty brutal about a riff that wasn't working for me, or just wasn't flowing into anything else how I wanted. Now it's only mildly different but everything else around it is coming together much easier, and imo, much better.

Is it just me or is there a hell of a push towards trying to validate 'nepo babies'? "the 1% is good and fine actually" Ahuh. Sure.

Is it paranoid or ahead of the game to want to pull away from sharing art online and letting the bots just fucking eat themselves? 'meatspace' art supremacy

Blocked about a billion of these shite profiles on our band socials about a year ago. After a short period of quiet, the algorithm decided what I really needed was some utter tripe again. Almost like there's a new subscription service coming soon where you can get a better version for money? Naaah

🌸🌴 Mercury's Well🌴🌸 @mercuryswell.bsky.social · 10/10/2025
Next release art is coming along nicely, where are we at with the music? *Stares at folder of incomplete demos* Ah. Yeah. Probably ought to do something about that.

Oh you're in a band? You know it's short for Bandrew right?

I think we need a new term for enshittification, because somehow things which are already shit are becoming shitter? And I don't think the term does enough??

Cardi B is short for Cardigan Bardigan

I need companies to understand that instant message services aren't the best form of support, and, shouldn't be your only method of customer service 'resolution'.
