MediArchive April-May 2022

thenightgarden.substack.com

literally an advert for a midi pack, but i think they kind of got the meta assignment correct visually.


so the idea for this series is that each month i will use a post to collect various media i find interesting and semi organize it. i really enjoy blogs in which i can kind of be allowed into the bloggers creative mindscape, their research process.

this edition is squishy, as i tried to remember stuff from april, and its dodgy at best. but for the intrepid investigator, all clues lead… somewhere. its the end of may, and it may as well be. so i am just hitting publish.

been dealing with symptoms so everything is harder and im trying to focus on how to pay the bills. so im doing the death practice group monthly and hopefully some other stuff as energy permits — also drop in classes on the animist arts playground, those will focus on how to use language and writing to access nondual animist states.

as always, donations happily received at www.paypal.me/daresohei

Musics

wisdom of the masters - on spotify or their website, audio readings of spiritual text excerpts, very well done

theaster gates and the black monks - playlist curated by me. the first 2 videos are interspersed with interview and i feel they are a great intro. the rest are mostly straight performances. their entrire oevre is a rabbit hole

Hi all. Please read this. 🧵 I've been accused of earning money from promoting bionic reading. I am not. Nor am I "promoting them" — especially after learning of their patent, which is problematic. But! This has at least shed some light on accessibility and capitalism.

I'm honestly disheartened by the amount of people that assume I have ulterior motives with my simple act of sharing new information. This is why we're so far behind with accessibility, and this is why capitalism wins. Every. Single. Time. You're choosing false opponents.

Instead of appreciating something for its good intentions... instead of using viral content to shed light on accessibility and neurodiversity — people chose violence. I've been accused, blocked, cussed out, discredited. All because I shared new information.
