Have begun another essay on digital hauntology, mental illness, and corporate megastructures….can’t seem to stop doing this tbh

So gorgeous; how being in love feels
At the interval. Finding this….extremely, troublingly compelling. Trauma and heartbreak as precondition for a very particular radicalization. Will continue soon but….cannot believe what Kamal Haasan has already pulled off

It doesn’t matter how well they do, @TheDemocrats are the party of the Gaza genocide.

It’s funny to see people sarcastically invoke “libbing out as a treat” as if this isn’t a sincere revealing of a structural position

It took American people less than two years to completely whitewash the Democrats’ facilitation of the Gaza genocide and put them back in power.
How quickly people forget is beyond me. The world is too scary.
Out of the frying pan into the fire…Israel is ecstatic.
What can I even say. Juan Atkins changed the entire world, forever. I’ll try to find the words, but for now, everything just feels very sad. Rest in peace; and thank you
It does not even seem like he can really be gone. There’s too much life and beauty in his music open.spotify.com/track/11BpV…

Rest in Peace Juan Atkins “the godfather of techno.” His unconventional sounds became the blueprint for an entire new genre of music, influencing generations of producers, DJs and record labels, like ours.
“I don’t know how you can love music and be close-minded... Life would be boring if you just adhered to the same protocol every day, so there are guys like me out there championing the cause for different and alternative ways of life and listening to music.” Juan Atkins

Juan Atkins has had a profound influence on me, not just through his music, but even more through his attitude and spirit.
As a Japanese person who grew up outside Japan, I went through an identity crisis in my mid-teens, and his music and philosophy helped me through it.
Coming from Detroit, he imagined a future of music that no one had ever heard before and made it a reality. His spirit taught me that I didn't have to fit into any existing mold.
That's why, for me, music has always been about so much more than just having fun. It's a part of who I am.
It feels like I've lost a part of what shaped who I am, and the sense of loss is overwhelming.
I’ll never forget how this track blew my mind when I first heard it in junior high. That feeling still drives what I do today. I couldn’t make it to your recent Tokyo show, but thank you for all the incredible music. @juanatkins
