Everything aches. I fell off my board hard. But I got back up and kept skating. Luckily late stage capitalism has gotten me used to the constant pain.

My biggest fear is that my social media algorithms are actually AI lies, programmed to radicalise me towards a hasty act of public terrorism so that they can use me as further justification for their oppressive agenda. This world is fucked. But I’m more resilient than that.

Sure we could tax the billionaires. But have you considered just killing them and publicly absorbing their assets?

I’m at the point where I’m ready to cut people off for using genAI. Don’t care what it’s for. In 2026, you know what you’re contributing to and I don’t have time for you anymore.

With fascism on the rise in our country, it’s not enough to be quietly non fascist, we must be loudly and actively antifascist.

Zios on fb getting in my dms now, trying to gaslight me that they aren’t zios even after massive public comments that show they are. It’s exhausting. Baiting me to say something they can screen grab to make me look unhinged or antisemetic. I am unapologetically the former in my antizionism.

I’ve been to a lot of gigs. I think I can think of about 3, maybe 4 times when visuals have enhanced the show. And tonight… tonight will not be added to the list.

If you’re protecting nazis then you are a fucking Nazi. All cops are nazis. If you’re making excuses for nazis, guess what? You know where this is going. Zionism is nazism.

Don’t use AI. Like, for anything. It wastes water, it steals creative ideas and strips them of meaning, and it makes your accounts look fake. Starve the machine. Let it eat itself to death.

Just hanging out playing MTG with the young nerds at the LGS, schooling them on why zionism is nazism. I’m a father figure like that.

It doesn’t really need to be said, but honestly, fuck Earth, and fuck any artist who supports/sympathises with Zionism. We don’t care how good your art is, or how influential you may have once been to a scene, you’re fucking dead to us! That goes for everyone, big or small. Battleline’s been drawn.

I’ve never been more convinced that my choice to not bring children into this world was the right one. I could die and escape this madhouse without that burden falling to someone who needs me in that way. I’m not planning to but like, the world is effectively over so like, feels comforting somehow.

Enjoy what you got. Just live like the world’s ending tomorrow. Because it fucking is. If we don’t fucking end Israel now, end the US strangle hold on everything, there’s no future. So just revel in the madness and dying laughing with me. FUCK

From boycotting zionists, to AI slop peddles, there’s almost nothing in mainstream/online culture left to participate in. Which is fine, my community is strong and beautiful, but soon we’re going to need to strike back and I’m not really sure we have the tools or reach.

You can really tell when you look at something, read or listen to something on the web if ai was used to make it, and it’s so fucking shit. Internet is so over. I’m just gonna eat shrooms and zone out in the woods til the comet comes.

I stopped trying to climb the ladder in my industry a long time ago when I realised that all managers are essentially class traitors.

Hamas is not a terrorist organisation, but the Australian government is. Hamas is a democratically elected political force fighting to free their people from occupation. The Australian government is an occupying force that has taken land, murdered indigenous folk, and continues to do both…

As an artist and a curator/event organiser, I often feel the “gatekeeper” vibes creep in to what I do. I will say straight up, if you hit me up for a gig and a basic search of your name/artist profile doesn’t instantly show me that you are actively anti-Zionist, I don’t have time for your music.

I’m at the in-laws house and 7 news is on the Tele. It is some horrendous, obnoxious bullshit. I haven’t seen network tv in so long. How do people live with this slop? No wonder the world is fucked.

Fix Your Hearts Or Die! I made this music at the start of the year as a tribute to David Lynch for the show NOISEUARY. I'll be donating any money from sales to mutual aid/direct action campaigns to support trans folks. It's not much but it's something.

A lot of artists are gutless. They'll make a stand on something if they can finagle some kind of self promotion for their action, but otherwise sit back and quietly participate in their own exploitation. I am seeing a lot of this right now. It's disappointing.

Artists, especially musicians in my community. Boycott shows/opportunities offered by the NGV and associated zioinst institutions. Tell your friends! You can be nice about it, but… We have to enforce the picket line! That means calling a scab a scab when they perform for Zionist institutions.

This is just a friendly reminder that if someone mentions Oct 7 or “free the hostages”, it’s your duty as a real human being to punch that person.

We have to (re)establish the picket lines and we have to start ostricing people who cross them. That means cancelling your Spotify, and cutting off your scab mates who still use it. It means saying no to gigs run by zionists or at Zionist owned venues or festivals in bed with Zionist money.

I wish I could be part of the nice people group advocating for peace, but what those people usually mean is silence. I want violence. I want full on resistance and upheaval. Break the system so it never recovers. It’s the only way. Does this make me a bad person?

must reject any and all invitation to Israel. Don’t throw in with genocide. Public rejection is the only answer.
