I hate to vague post. This relates to the recent #Minecraft YouTuber drama. It's hard to proclaim inclusivity and safety with this as your backdrop.

Reposting a pic, 'cause 300 characters ain't gonna cut it. #Minecraft #AstraeaSMP Full post text in alt.

Not gonna lie, 2025 was a challenge, but this silly block game kept me sane.

Since posting build pics to Bluesky in early 2025, I’ve launched this channel and joined the #AstraeaSMP. Along the way, I’ve found a community that actually likes each other - a refreshing change of pace from the cynicism and toxicity I’ve navigated in the music scene for over 30 years (not all bad, definitely not all good). I didn't realize how much my creativity was gasping for air until the contrast became impossible to ignore. I’m not quitting music, but I am quitting the cynicism.

For 2026, my plan is to grow as an artist and a member of this community. I’m choosing to build with positive, inclusive people. Let’s ensure all our ships rise.

Happy New Year!

I ran into a snag last night with the #Minecraft "mini" game I'm working on. Yet another reminder that "sleeping on it" works wonders. A new day brings a better idea. Here's some notes (handwritten, I'm a luddite) haphazardly scribbled during my foggy brain struggles. Mainly nether portal coords...
