Healthcare in America: I waited 5 weeks for a video appointment, the website goes down, hold on the phone for 15min to make a new appointment because website down, but was routed wrong so I hold for 15 more min, next available appointment is 5 weeks from Wednesday.
Technology sure made this better.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

I would wear all of this, just a few sizes too big 😜
I describe the state I am in and I suspect others are too as "I am too tired to be overwhelmed and to overwhelmed to get any rest"
Album cover made to look 3d with a shadow below and behind it sitting in a bright red background. The album cover is white with text centered at the top that reads “Yann Novak, Meadowsweet (redux), de6083.” The center has a black and white photo of a body of water, looking down at around 45º so you can see underneath the water while also seeing the surface. The bottom feature the triangular Dragon's Eye Recordings logo.

It was one of the best shows I have seen, we toyed with driving to Vegas for the show there too, but $$$. So we watched the Coachella live stream to relive it. Might do it again on Sunday, half way through the livestream the Haus of Basquiat do a ballroom vogue interlude that is quite epic.
We came up for the FKA twigs show since there was no LA show due to Coachella. We were just there for 3 night, stayed in Japan Town and had awesome coffee at Best Boy Electric!
We were in SF Last week, had heard about this but got off the bridge to early to see them on the way in. The way out was another story, man people are not kidding about this shit!
A photo of Ingrid Buslee with her hair pulled back and wearing a long sleeve v-neck shirt with plants all around her and holding a red flower the size of her face just to the left of her face. A very young Yann Novak is peaking his head into frame on the right and Ingrid is looking at him. In the bottom left it read 'Foxy Digitalis.'
I did a really personal interview with @foxydigitalis.bsky.social about my new album 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 (𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙭), out tomorrow on @dragonseyerecordings.com.

It is now six weeks since noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted this from Tehran. Even with the wider Internet access problem noted, we do not know what has happened with him. Please listen to and share his music.
Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner explaining how great he is and also how fragile he is
I’ve seen stickman memes made with MS Paint that have resonated with my soul in ways that still reverberate today.
Every AI meme I’ve ever seen, no matter how detailed & glossy, has killed me a tiny bit.
“Philz way” as a name for doling out cream and sugar like it’s spice on Arrakis always felt like a slide towards fascism.
Now they have terrible politics to go with their terrible coffee and gatekept cream and sugar.
I read the book and liked it, Robert did not read the book and liked it.
Another benefit was that there was not a tech-bro vest in sight… something that feels hard to do in SF proper these days.
If I see one more framing of IOC policy as a ban against trans women I am gonna scream. Of course it’s that but it’s not ONLY that and the failure to understand profound links between anti trans and misogynist policy is literally killing us.
My wonderful husband @robert.takahashinovak.com caught video of the end of Eusexua into Perfectly, two of my favorites! I can’t choose where to edit so here is most of it lol. He did it because he knew I was to mesmerized and would forgot.
It was a ton of Techno! Each section was around 3 songs and each section bridged different albums. As a stage lighting and dance nerd is was heaven!
Woke up this morning wishing I were rich so I could go see FKA twigs again in Las Vegas on Friday. Yes it was that good! I would 100% go again. Afterglow vibes.
Black and white photo of the crowd at FKA twigs in San Francisco in between sets with the lights up
FKA twigs was soooo good in San Francisco tonight that I forgot to take any photos or video after this shot of the crowd post opener. SF brought the queerness in the best possible way, so glad we came up for the show here!
Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
