Living Sounds: Rhythms of Belonging Panel Sept 19, 6-7pm EST at Soil Factory/Livestream on Sounding Out! Insta (@soundingoutinsta_) How does sound, shape, and structure pattern our worlds and ways of belonging? How often do the rhythms and pulses of our everyday lives offer forms of belonging (1/2)

After a major break and pacing my creative energetic waxing and waning, I call to indigenous knowledges and dreams. I am an artist in residence September at The Soil Factory who received a Andy Warhol Foundation grant continuing its work to allow artists to explore.

Pacing my creative waxing/waning in chaotic times, I call to indigenous knowledges and dreams in artist residency September 14-21. Soil Factory received Warhol foundation grant to allow artists to explore. Watch for dates for Deep Listening Workshop, a panel chaired by Jenn Stover, and performance

Disabled people say “survival is resistance” because we can’t fight fascism if we’re dead Many are barely holding on. We know our lives are at risk. Some of us can’t boycott or protest without risking death. If we say something is inaccessible, believe us. Help include us. We want to fight

Brought up a concern to someone and they said they didn’t want to fight. I said “doesn’t have to be a fight and if you agree we can discuss it. “They snapped back “it’s only not a fight if I agree with you.” Don’t even know what to do with that response. But it literally broke my brain.

My ❤️ with Filipinx Canadians after the violence at Lapu-Lapu Day in Vancouver BC. The traumatic story of the Vietnamese man who killed the 11 Filipinos from ages 5-65 is so tragic as well. All so overwhelming. Mixed feelings bubble. Let’s care for each other as we ease through the complexity. 🙏🏽🇵🇭🙏🏽

For real…flying back to the USA as a outspoken political brown person with naturalized citizen parents AND being autistic is looking HIGHLY unsafe. But that arts funding is gonna dry up faaaaaaaassssst and my work is about liberation and getting it out often gets people thinking… 🫤😓🙏🏽

Called to schedule a massage asking what modalities were used. Thai massage is painful with my mobility challenges and popular here. They defensively stated “We’re not Thai.” I stated “I meant modality not ethnicity.” B/c I have a “white” passing voice, I had to hear anti-Asian microaggressions. 🤬

Why is the government and the news so indifferent to the meltdown happening in UK #HigherEd right now? Our universities are the envy of the world. Yet we are at risk of losing a generation of academics and damaging the sector beyond repair.

Today out of nowhere, I started crying when starting to talk around a past traumatic event. Something that I have gone over in therapy and worked on. But the grief just came bubbling out. The person I was speaking to said I was silencing them by being emotional. Sums up the world today.

Hello what

Love it when my noise sisters get together. Now to get me back to Oz… ❤️🙏🏽

I just spent an hour explaining to someone that their focus on how to “cope” with others’ suffering might be the issue. How about actually help? Or intervene or support? Maybe tolerating other humans’ suffering is how we all ended up in this horrible global situation.

What radicalized me? Growing up believing in the fundamental worth of human life, the power of empathy, and that violence is always going to do harm, a net negative, even if it is necessary. And if you think you agree with those things and you're not radical, you're a problem.

This is keeping me going today…

"we listen to make finer and finer distinctions in tone, sound,& rhythm. The slightest nuances accumulate and refine one's aesthetics. If we also listen to so-called "background noise", we better perceive our relationship to place—all sound provides us w/ information & forges connections" -Oliveros

Just had someone tell me that I just needed reframe and “have a positive outlook” when I named my accessibility needs to engage in a project. How tiring… #neurodivergenceisreal #toxicpositivity #ableism

This is me in the sunshine insisting that I can be grateful while watching the collapse of the USA and trying to ignore the everyday irony that my family migrated to escape the effects of martial law to live in the new and improved martial law.
