"There's a sweetness in clumsy efforts. Stubborn hope always trumps lazy greed, & gentle hearts tear vulgar castles down.

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

Love,
Godspeed You! Black Emperor"

A través de mi amigo Max y su newsletter Regios Will Be Regios, me vine enterando que en #Monterrey también tenemos un iceberg de teorías conspirativas y #leyendasurbanas. Entre graciosas, intrigantes, prejuiciosas, atemorizantes e históricas. Algunas de ellas ya vienen xilograbadas en nuestro ser, y las llevamos a todas partes con nosotres.

Playing around with #SonicPi. So far, so fun! It's bringing memories back from what I had learned at the #algobabez workshop five years ago at Notts Pride. I think then they used #SuperCollider to teach and it was connected to synths tho? This is a good re-start.

I'm not good at many things, but I'm kind of fine at #writing and #performance, particularly in the #poetry department. I have a poetry book, called Meanwhile, about people who live in between stages and don't fulfill success standards in regards to migration, sexuality, growing up, bodies and minds.

Looking to get involved in more #multimedia opportunities and incorporate #music and #video as some of my live performances show. Maybe not relying so much with a live band anymore, but more #algorave, #foundsound and #noise guided by a #diy #punk ethos in my practice.

Suggestions of creative #writers who use the Fediverse/Mastodon rather than Big Tech socials? I already follow @pluralistic and he's really inspiring my practice. I literally only have Big Tech accounts to share my gigs now. Don't want to rely on that anymore eventually.

PTSD, fear of music, shitty music scene, confidence

Also, during that time I started playing with a band aaaaaaaaaaaaaand long story short, I would've been better off making my own music with words on a computer.

Finding this instance and seeing they have newsletters and a visible presence of algo, tidalcycles, etc. is making me get a bit more excited to try. But then, my music experience from the previous paragraph ended so bitterly and in such a humilliating way, I'm a bit scared? Until recently, I was too traumatised to even *listen* to music, let alone make it. Eep.

Joining this instance has made me a lot more interested in trying #algorave and #livecoding music.

First knew about it about 4/5 years ago at Nottingham Pride when a group of women from Sheffield gave a workshop about it. It was fascinating, but I left it in the backdrawer of my mind because most of the software they used was for Mac and I'm PC bruh.

I feel so grown up. Been invited to do a *review* for a *journal*, as if I had any academic or professional value. Wowsers.
