there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

I’m just not an efficient power user I guess. Maybe I’ll get more used to it once I adjust but I got annoyed with having to click and double click.

I’ve tried to use shortcut buttons for years and just got a remote with my new one, but gosh golly a keyboard at the top of the monitor has never done me wrong

Oh my gosh, really! I hope you figured it out 😁 Thank you so much! Now that this rigamarole is over I might get back to posting online haha

Whoever says indigo is any kind of purple is full of it…the closest to a purple might be the surface of active vat, but it’s blue blue through and through. Period.

Without spoiling too much, this is my favorite lead character, whereas the other two felt more Blanc heavy, though I love Monáe’s Helen a lot.

It was different but the same. Both serious and hilarious. I think it might end up my favorite the longer I sit with it

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Yay! I love to blab so I’m glad I did :) The nice thing is it’s worth a try cuz unless you delete your account after you cancel, all your old stuff is still there if you want to go back for some reason

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

It shouldn’t be! Sometimes I get a suggested row that is music related, but music is a separate tab on the TV. Usually only pops up for artists I’m subscribed to. I watch a lot of YT and my TV algo is maintained.

110

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I think I’ve had it for 3-4 years? And it’s got a pretty good idea of what I like. One of my fave bands is from a suggestion, I’d heard one song on Spotify years ago but on YTM I fell al the way down :)

010

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

It also has albums and such like Spotify, just with access to all the YouTube library. It really is a music app. I canceled Spotify when I realized I kept listening to soundtracks, acoustic versions, or performances that weren’t on Spotify as official releases.

110

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Use the YouTube Music app! You can save those videos to playlists and it will treat them like songs and you can toggle to watch the video, but on the regular YouTube app, everything will be normal. Two separate algos, with occasional overlap on like the TV app or saving to playlists.

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I thought about getting an mp3 player for a while, but all the ones I was looking at seemed ugly, shitty, expensive, or convoluted. I decided on an iPod Classic cuz I could mod/repair in the future if needed, it’s simple, cool, and familiar, and no touch screen. Wanted no drama haha

010

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I got it to use outside of the house at school in my studio or the labs when im working! It’s now my main music device anywhere since it’s half the size of a phone. I have a usb dvd player that rips cds, + download stuff for free off SoundCloud or YT, + buy indie stuff on iTunes.

120

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I ditched Spotify a few years back and just used YT music which I had with Premium. There really wasn’t anything wrong with it other than I get real distracted and I’ve found more cool new music on TikTok recently than anything, but am fairly content following my faves new releases.

210

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Sorry for blabbing haha, but it was like riding a bike. I forgot it was the thing I’d done for much longer. I don’t mind being tethered to the device either since it’s so tiny and just tunes :) I know some folks use a Bluetooth adapter but I didn’t want that, at least not now

110

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

And the music actually sounds better so I’m excited to use them! Nice backup too for my computer when my bluetooths die/wont connect. I use BT for everything else, and if I really need to, then I’ll listen on my phone with BT.

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I also thought this, but wired just for my iPod has been totally fine. Doesn’t get in my way much, and if I really am moving about, I put it on my ihome. I tuck it in my apron or shacket pocket, maybe loop it behind my head if it’s dangling.

110

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Omg I’m having a blast you should load it uppppp. I find the ritual of downloading music be it from online, cd, or wherever very therapeutic. Mindfulness haha

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Idk I also feel like making art so much and reading about it and making objects makes me want to be connected to things in my life like relics or something

050

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I even found a brand new ihome at the thrift and it sounds amazing. But really unplugged a bit and damn excellent for the brain. Also I realized I basically just listen to the same collection of albums 90% of the time anyhow.

140

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Also got into physical media like records and CDs for my favorite albums of all time, and actually buying music that I adore.

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

An update from MIA Teju MFA files, I got an iPod Classic cuz I needed to be off my phone but have music when I’m working in my studio/the labs and I’m fucking obsessed with it

Zara Alfonso Illustration @zaraalfonso.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤 #art #painting #portrait #illustration

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

I foolishly was using fiber reactive dyes for this process at first, ending up with the reverse of what I wanted, ignoring the traditional roots of indigo for adire because I didn’t realize I could do it fairly easily. But damn it’s so magnificent

120

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

the thing about me that made me make my thesis a bunch of processes I’ve never done before is hilarious. Never screenprinted, never dyed fabric, never done resist dye, never done adire…but here we are

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

I’ve just been incredibly humbled by poor deduction skills and lack of experience cuz I was trying to use cassava as a resist with fiber reactive dyes when said dyes are attracted to cellulose…ie STARCH

Ooh I love chew! I like small pieces too but for when they add some nice texture and variety! Depends on the dish. I also don’t like most diced chicken cuz it’s usually breast and dry and weird lmaooo.

I was indeed gnawing on bones as a child haha! But of 4 kids in the only one who really took after my parents in this specific way where I like and prefer it. But culturally I think Nigerian meat is preferred hard

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I don’t really like smooth or bland food and like haptic food (with some exceptions) since i don’t chew nearly as much as i should cuz i get bored
