I’m disabled with autistic synesthesia and “read” a lot of material at 1,000 to 5,000 words per minute— scoring 99th percentile on reading comprehension. When I look at a page, I hear hundreds of words simultaneously like voices in a busy train station. Meaning is like chords in the murmur.

Well this happened and i love it. The video reminds me of surrealist triumph, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! The lyrics make my heart sad and little hopeful and the melody is too god damn catchy. <3 @markmallman.bsky.social @tayzonday.com youtu.be/ROhVaORvKsM?...

I have ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). I'm sensitive to dozens of foods that can ruin my day for dozens of reasons. I need to consume a fairly specific diet.

New drop: Tay Zonday’s 2026 take on Dragonborn (Skyrim main theme). Commanding vocals over Walt Ribeiro’s orchestral arrangement — baritone depth → soaring highs with layered harmonies, English + Dragon language subtitles. Many more epic orchestral covers planned. What do you want next?

I experience it all as extremely heavy-handed and obvious— having first posted on the social Internet at nine-years-old in 1991.

That’s fair. I lean towards “labeling can be oppressive” (I carefully separate that from “is”) in a Ralph Ellison sense. And my one-time mentor Roderick A. Ferguson in his book “The ReOrder Of Things.” “Never” inherently oppressive aligns with Richard Wright, Bell Hooks and Beverly Daniel Tatum.

Not afro-diasporic literacy as a counterculture to modernity (Paul Gilroy) . . . I could go on. We are where we are today partly because the demand for feeling virtuous as a status flex is higher than the demand for selfless intellectual militancy.

Tay Zonday @tayzonday.com · 16/12/2025
One problem is that taxonomic (labeling) "sin" itself can be oppressive. It's European enlightenment rationalism literacy- Not African post-structuralist literacy as Henry Louis Gates Jr. documents; Nor literacy (including gender/sexuality) in American Indian experiences; It's Mayflower Power.

Yes. A lot of it is because The Internet forces "the revolution" to become "The Grift-O-lution"-- What you have to say now doesn't scale unless you piggyback legitimate moral grievance on incidental trends. You must hijack a trend narrative for yourself like a surfer catches a wave.

I stopped understanding consumer video when it stopped allowing you to “scrub” it forward and backward at a chosen speed. (So, post-VHS?) Product design that tries to silo my behavior just makes me want to misbehave.

💯 Good policy can be called “Martian” and not intrinsically change. I’m still puzzled by how we ended up calling FDR and Eisenhower economic policies “socialist.” Then again, both of them were closer to Ho Chi Minh than Milton Friedman. Bloomberg and Harvard Business have us all tongue-twisted.

A photon doesn’t experience any time passing due to relativistic time dilation. The irony is that from the traveler’s standpoint, the closer they get to the speed of light a.k.a. causality, the more they experience moving faster than light. Onlookers are the ones experiencing a long wait.

Tay Zonday stands in front of a wood-panel wall in a maroon-purple button down shirt smiling and holding a microphone in his right hand with his cropped left hand extended outward. Square Ikea faux canvas squares hang behind his left with metro-chic iconography and the names “London,” “New York” and “Paris.”

Absolutely! It’s a damned-if-you do, damned-if-you-don’t discursive bind. What is racism’s “undoing?” Calling it biological fiction is narratively hijacked by other fictions like rational market individualism to deny social epigenetics. Calling it socially epigenetic is derided as reconstituting.

Tay Zonday @tayzonday.com · 17/05/2025
100% 💪. That’s a valid interpretation of my imperfect metaphor in which it’s certainly false. I hoped to convey that as race is a biological fiction about aptitude and pathology, I try (also imperfectly) to keep its truthful consequence separate from “trickle-out” phenotype eugenics in my thinking.

Tay Zonday @tayzonday.com · 16/05/2025
Race is often an incidental stenographer of economic privilege. Social media can normalize anonymous activist takes and moral red lines that require spectacular economic privilege. I try to remind myself that the economic privilege egg comes before the melanin chicken.

Part of the challenge with me and podcasting is that I’m not easily verbal and pre-recorded for “Sixteenth Minute” at a rate of about three minutes per hour 😀 Even then, jamieloftus.bsky.social and whysophiewhy.bsky.social expertly separated gold from ample silt and a few radioactive hazards 🙏 😀

Have you read @dr-nicky.bsky.social’s book “Neuroqueer Heresies” (also on the website of the same name)? Her discussion of autistiphobia and neurocosmopolitanism relates to what you describe. Less than 1% of English speakers follow my unabridged thinking with comfort. Heresy is my homeostasis 🤪
