interesting way to get someone to play your music on a radio show. I know, I'm a woman, how dare I express myself and like things. don't message like that. it's a block.
from my DMs: "Btw, you mentioned you're a house music lover? Who are some of your favorite producers? 🤔"

black and white picture of a white woman from the side, she's standing up, her right hand softly wrapped around her waist above her hip, we don't see her face, she's naked, we can barely see her breasts. She's wearing dark nail polish. Light on her hip and thigh.

View of an empty French-style park (trees in rows, linear pathways), night is falling, streetlights appear through tree branches, beaming like moons in the deep blue and green colors of the night painting. Quietness.

I created a Eurosky account but now I can't migrate
1
When you migrate to Eurosky using EU-HAUL, the tool moves your existing Bluesky account - with all your posts, followers, and data — to Eurosky's servers. It doesn't create a new account; it transfers the one you already have.
If you created a new Eurosky account before migrating, EU-HAUL Will show an error saying the account already exists. This is because you now have two separate accounts: your original Bluesky account and a brand new Eurosky account with the same username.
To fix this, you need to delete the new Eurosky account you created:
1. Open the Bluesky app and sign in with the Eurosky account you created (make sure to select "Custom" as the hosting provider and enter eurosky. social — see our Logging in with Eurosky. guide)
2. Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account
3. Follow the prompts to confirm deletion
Before you delete, make sure:
• You are logged in to the new Eurosky account — not your original Bluesky account
• You don't need any data in the new account (any posts or follows made with it will be lost)
Once the account is deleted, you can go to move.eurosky.tech and migrate your original Bluesky account as normal.
Why does this happen?
Creating an account on Eurosky and migrating to Eurosky are two different things. Creating an account gives you a fresh, empty account on our servers. Migrating moves your existing account — with everything in it — from Bluesky's servers to ours. You don't need to an account first; the migration process handles everything.

it's World Poetry Day, here are the ones I wrote to go with our third Tremosphere album Becoming Creatures (poems are on the complimentary bookmark with CD purchase)
bookmarks with the album cover image on one side, and poems on the other side.

Poèmes, vol. 02

It had all the shades of blue
And was shaped like a needle
with a head bigger than its tail
And it was looking at me
Through the windscreen of the silent car.

I sat there, my arms along my torso
Not knowing if I had to wait
And so I just did.

———————————————————————————————

When a stranger knocks and pours,
For you to realize what you’ve
been overlooking,
You crash like a willow tree
from the weight of a two-weeks snow,
And try to remember your name in the first place,
For you thought you were someone else.


———————————————————————————————


I saw the dragon weep,
Touched the dragon’s scales,
I reached to the fire
whose color I couldn’t make

The dragon and the phoenix both in sorrow,
Couldn’t merge into one yellow-blue sphere.


———————————————————————————————

I know the name, I know the scent,
The contours and the shape, the likings
and the dreads.
I know the sunshine and the parts of the sky,
The engine smoke, all that’s left behind.
The hands are full of the soul’s waters.

————————————————————————————————

Everyday it talks to me and I try to hide.
I sit on top of the mountain, on the reverse side.
My breath makes the wind and my tears the heavy rain.
Everyday it talks to me and I try to hide.

Europe needs rights, not a European ICE
Yesterday evening, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) approved a new coercive and punitive deportation regulation, which will enable ICE-like measures. Yet another disregard of human rights.
ICE-like raids
The new regulation allows for home searches, going to the extent of including searches in "other relevant places".
The ICE metaphor is not just a metaphor anymore; it is the plan of this regulationDeporting everywhere, no concern for human rights
The regulation modifies the definition of "countries of return", enabling the return to countries where people have never resided.
It also sets the ground for the establishment of prison-like detention centres built outside the EU.
Eroded appeal rights
According to the text, deportation would now be possible even before a final judgment on the case is issued.Solidarity can and will prevail
The right and far-right continue to join forces to oppose human rights, voting together for coercive bills such as this deportation regulation.
We will never stop working and fighting until we build a fairer Europe based on solidarity, not repression.

À l'heure du bilan de la semaine passée, nous dressons un constat glaçant : les digues cèdent face à la montée des idées fascistes dans l'indifférence générale.
Le Syndicat de la magistrature continuera de dénoncer les compromissions face au danger que représente l'extrême droite et s'inquiète de l'effacement croissant des garants de la démocratie.

SYNDICAT DE LA MAGISTRATURE
Paris, le 24 février 2026
Quand les digues contre le fascisme cèdent, un silence complice
Le 14 février 2026 à Lyon, un militant lié à l'extrême-droite, Quentin Deranque, est décédé à la suite d'un affrontement. Les circonstances de cet événement d'une violence intolérable sont encore à déterminer par le travail d'enquête, sous la direction des juges d'instruction.
Alors que les magistrates ont besoin de sérénité pour œuvrer, nombre de responsables politiques se sont empressé es de désigner des coupables avant l'heure.
Ainsi, le garde des Sceaux s'est à nouveau permis de s'exprimer dans une affaire en cours alors que sa fonction lui impose le silence. Rappelons qu'il est l'autorité hiérarchique des magistrat-es du parquet qui ont eu à connaître et qui connaîtront encore de la procédure.
Le ministre de l'Intérieur, quant à lui, s'est autorisé à établir des responsabilités, avant même la prise de parole du procureur de la République de Lyon, en violation du secret des investigations alors en cours.
Toute la semaine, le débat public a été traversé par des instrumentalisations incessantes.
Ces récupérations, particulièrement médiatisées, ont préparé le terrain au spectacle sidérant auquel nous avons assisté ce samedi 21 février. Des groupuscules d'extrême-droite, dont certains assument de recourir à la violence pour lutter contre la démocratie, l'État de droit et l'égalité de tous et toutes devant la loi, ont défilé dans les rues de Lyon.
Certains membres du cortège ont tenu des propos racistes et homophobes, des saluts nazis ont été observés. Si la commission de certains délits a été signalée au procureur de la République, force est de constater l'absence de réaction des autorités garantes de nos libertés fondamentales, les mêmes qui contribuaient quelques jours auparavant au vacarme ambiant.

Advent: Art 12/24 New York Interior - Edward Hopper, 1921
we see the inside of an old apartment, the beginning of a fireplace on the right side, a door in the middle, a pairing hanging on the left side wall and a red piece of fabric on what could be a bed. A white woman is sitting, we see her from the back, she’s wearing a strapless glow-y light blue dress, showing her shoulders and arms muscles. Her long brunette hair parted. She’s sewing.

In the ocean waves, we see a nude white woman from the back, her legs immersed, it’s like she’s stepping into the waters, shielding herself from a bigger wave with her right arm. A side breast is then seen. Her hair is long, brunette and wavy.
