Stevie Wonder wrote "Tell Me Something Good" for Rufus and Chaka Khan. They performed it together just a few days ago. Music is magic.

She doesn't know. She doesn't know. Look at her. She doesn't know. Reflect upon this. Internalise it: upon the windowsill, she doesn't know.

Hazel is smiling and wearing a pink and black checkered shirt and denim jacket while playing a banjo. My head is over her shoulder, also smiling, wearing glasses and a navy blue headscarf. In the background is the pebbles of a beach, some other queers, and a block of flats.

A small laptop showing a high exposure mask of the guy from Tron against a crudely rendered CGI background of trees and a farmhouse. Hazel's hands are visible on the laptop keyboard. She is wearing purple jeans.

watching @thehazelzone.bsky.social create a presentation about how Tron (1982) was made by actually recreating the process herself using... an online photoshop knock-off and youtube-to-mp4 footage of magi synthovision. I am so in love please send help.

How can I be a recording artist, producer, maker of boutique amplifiers and vlogger under a single name when I am, in fact, functionally, none of those things?

ADHD is a trip. after years of burnout I am wondering if i might actually put some things into the world this year but being instantly met with an immobilising fear of how to brand myself for the so many things I want to do.

You gotta make art that sucks in order to make art that fucks

To those who came before us, to those who made it through. I’m glad, but please, understand this:

Your siblings will not experience what you did, they will not be seen.
