Saw this looks-maxing dude preening and peacocking at my gym, so I offered a "lookin' good, girl!" as I walked past. Watching his ego shatter in real time was delightful.

I aspire to this level of social satire... For those not in the know, this is the same band that did the Iron Sky soundtrack and also performed in North Korea.

I shall see your banger, and raise you... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl4X...

Break apart the earth, there's profit to be earned. The end is the beginning of the future we deserve.

Every so often the universe offers us little reminders that not everything is bleak and while times may be cold and dark, there is always a star on the horizon worth aiming for. No, I'm not going to elaborate. Just musing on my own personal observations.

Slightly minimalist techno

So it's here and ready to pop. 4 hours of music curated to warp your tiny mind, a mix of bips and bops. 8pm-12 this coming Saturday on untidyradio.com Includes music from: @srogimroczek.bsky.social @imrryr.com @chaosdoll.bsky.social @3amnoise.net Plus many more... #music #musicsky

This is what happens when private equity takes over and businesses stop releasing innovative products in favor of sucking every penny they can out of previous assets. For those of you not in the know, this was one of the most reputable brands in music production software for the last 25-30 years.

My 2026 is finally starting to ramp up, the first few weeks of the year are always a bit.. relaxed.. but now, as they say, is the time to make noises..

I was today years old when I learned there are people who brag about having AI Psychosis for clout, in the same way some folks fake having MPD/DID and other extremely rare disorders. They even add gibberish code to their posts, to demonstrate how the "AI" is "influencing" them.

Last summer I wrote a very angry, highly political, and incredibly pessimistic album. I ended up not releasing it. We're in a dark place as a civilization, it would feel better to put something else out into the world right now. Not pop music, but a little light, a little hope maybe. We'll see.

Have a big dive coming up next weekend, hoping to get some footage of a Maori Octopus. They are spikey angry looking little dudes and I love them. 🐙

That writing exercise turned isekai is going to end up on my patreon and deviantart pages in a week or two, just giving it the editing treatment now.

I wish I was joking. It just kinda... Happened.

That time I sat down to practice a writing exercise and accidentally wrote a complete 35 page isekai story involving a gamer girl and her friends getting trapped inside a VR MMORPG world before slowly losing their sense of personal identity and turning into sexy dungeon monsters.

One of the greatest joys in life is hearing someone speak about you in a language they don't expect you to understand as you walk past. The look of shock and sometimes even contrition when you pause, smile and respond fluently, even politely to their vulgarity... Oh that's magical.

I feel seen.

Emerging from the Southern Ocean in full gear after a Christmas shore dive. "Are you a sea monster?" Asks a small girl who stops playing on the beach to observe me removing my fins. "Almost certainly." I reply with a grin. "Sea monsters are cool!" The child beams. Sometimes humans are alright.

"Every human is fundamentally selfish and self-interested," She continued, "but the good ones recognize it, channel it in a way that doesn't burden others. The good ones are rare." "Very rare." He responded, still sorrowful. "Want to get out of here?" She asked, her black lips parting invitingly.

"I can't understand faith, but I think I understand morals." He mused, sad at the state of the world. "That's the rub," She replied with a slight smile to mask her own misanthropic thoughts, "most people have faith that their lack of morals doesn't matter."

Nothing for nothing, but my stress levels are basically nil.. I wonder if there is a clue here... www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

I got some really interesting recordings with a hydrophone this week. All oceanic, some very eerie. I wonder what sort of uses I could find for them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is what the girls on Discord refer to as a Polycule....

I sort of feel like humanity lost the plot when it began equating personal interests with personal identity. A friend legitimately asked me if I've stopped making music because I'm "going diving now", as if I've had to just give up being a musician because I like swimming with cephalopods.

I'm still alive. I've just been underwater.. making new friends.

Nothing quite like turning your head and having THAT mug looking back at you.

I got invited to join a mermaid group for an upcoming dive, I asked if I could get webbed claws and sharp teeth to really complete the look... To my surprise, they got the joke. Sadly, the answer was still no. I guess I'll have to limit the devouring of men to my time ashore.

Spending a lot of my free time in the water lately, it's become a bit of a respite from the world. I'd say it's the isolation, but you're never really alone in the ocean and it isn't silent at all if you know what to listen for.

I'm the kind of girl who will read 'Into the Drowning Deep' by Mira Grant two weeks before going open water diving in the Indian Ocean.

Started writing a short story about a "late night" call-in radio show set in space. Sort of a Coast to Coast AM for space truckers and interstellar haulers vibe. 2000 words in and I kinda want to turn this into a podcast.. wish I knew more VO artists.

I do appreciate when music technology companies celebrate diverse creators. But I kinda hate when they act like it's a brand new thing. It makes it feel disingenuous. I'm a pansexual Arab American goth girl, I've literally been doing this shit longer than most of these brands have existed.

As an aside, writers of bluesky... If you are an author of fiction, where are you publishing your vignettes, shorts and novellas? Asking for a me. 🤭 I'd like to know what platforms are good and which to avoid. is #booksky a thing? #authors? Seems like it should be.

I've never been the sort of musician that just makes sound just to be heard. A listen means nothing if I haven't sung something worth paying attention to. I know that's a bit of of a weird thing to hear in the age of playlists and thirty second attention spans.

So real talk, I've put together around 40 pieces of music since March. I quite like them all. But I still feel like I haven't quite captured what I want to say with any of them. It would be easy enough to put together an album and call it a day. If I were just after airplay, that's what I'd do.

My Halloween costume was "Musician who didn't meet her previously announced October release deadline." I'm pretty sure I won the costume contest.

Maybe you should be...

Last Tuesday’s ‘Funderground #123’ by @toxicchicken.bsky.social is now available for on-demand listening. An irresistible selection of music by Power Salad, @pettaluck.bsky.social, Kenny Rohan, @chaosdoll.bsky.social, Meteor Mirage, @gragrabeck.bsky.social, Elvis Herod, Lucy Atlast and many more.

Wrote a new story in The Radius setting I've been world building since earlier this year. Something really fun to share with Patreon folks soonish.

I may not know you, I may not understand your circumstances. But I do know one thing; you contribute to the diverse and beautiful tapestry that is human existence. That is enough and you are appreciated, even if we've never directly spoken.

If you spend enough time with this game you could essentially make your own wallpaper collection or even machinima. It's got pretty extensive camera tools.

Hey darlings, I've created a new soundtrack mod for the pc game Dystopika, using a curated collection of my own ambient tracks. Over 40 minutes of music to enjoy in game. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... If you enjoy it, please do rate it!

A game I quite enjoy called Dystopika just expanded their mod support... soooo guess I gotta learn the modkit in order to add my most dystopian instrumental tracks to the game ^_^ I'll post a steam link once I have it all figured out.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Why not head over to the Passed Recordings page for lots of lovely music - with Bandcamp waiving their fees today you can really help the artists, so go and discover something ambient, electronic and Always Atmospheric! passedrecordings.bandcamp.com

I have something new coming in October, but not for Bandcamp Friday. I'm still deciding what exactly I want to say with this next release, I'm sitting on a mountain of summer recordings ranging from highly structured Industrial Rock to something random bordering on Power Electronics.

It's live! verfuehrervergelter.bandcamp.com/album/post-v... #noisemusic #harshnoise #cyberoccultism #decay #void

Someone has a vested interest in keeping you outraged. They gleefully benefit from your nearly obsessive regurgitation of their chosen conflict. And despite being fully aware of the leash by which you are restrained, you just can't help yourself... Because you're so well trained.

When a system begins to fail due to corruption, the first step is to turn it off, let the fans spin down and the capacitors discharge, then try turning it back on. If the system is unrecoverable, consider a full reformat or component replacement to resume normal operation. Works for nations too.
