Originally, I was going to make one about "strange" music, but then I realized I can do whatever I want so I'm just going to plug some music I like or find funny. Unfortunately, I'm still a normie ahh scrub who gets all my music from youtube. Though, as a good girl, I'm going to use alternative front-ends to protect your privacy.

I might keep adding more stuff through the week.

Jim E. Brown

Jim E. Brown

The "19-year old alcoholic" from Britain is renowned for his smash hits like I'm quitting prozac to continue drinking and I FIND SEX ABHORENT.

Carlos Ivan

Carlos Ivan

Self proclaimed bard who occasionally does unhinged ASMR. Examples of his work would be his song Slutty Pumpkin or his ASMR Hostage flirts with you during bank robbery (Good lord he has such a sexy voice in that one).

Opeth

Opeth

Listening to this Band is the closest thing I have to being a "metal fan". All I really know about them is that some of their fans are salty because they stopped being metal like many years ago. Idk about the drama though. Their Blackwater park seems to be the one that fans think is their masterpiece (???). But I like stuff such as Face of Melinda, Harlequin Forest and April Ethereal.

Microtonal Music

Sevish

They make microtonal and macrotonal music. Such music is characterized by the use of a tonal scale different from the European 12 tones. Long story short, the frequency spectrum can be divided into octaves. By definition, an octave is a factor of 2 difference (so 100 hz is 1 octave below 200 hz). In the European scale, each octave of sound is divided into 12 tones. But you can use more, or less. The most extreme examples I've seen are Fuschiamarine which uses only 7 tone divisions to Desert Island Rain which has 313 divisions! Other stuff from them is Who knows and Zero Nothings, the latter of which is polyrhythmic ((meaning it has multiple rhythms at once) and microtonal (22 tones), thereby causing professional musicians pain and suffering.

There's more musicians out there that do microtonal music (and also the entirety of Africa, Middle East, India, etc).

Maybe I'll put some stuff in the coming days.

Classical Latin covers of Modern songs

Yes, this is a thing. It doesn't need to exist but I'm glad it does. My favs are the cover of Gas Gas Gas and Everyone wants to rule the world. The channel is called the_miracle_aligner and they do other languages as well.

Mushroom plays keyboard

Mushrooms plays keyboard. Pretty baller, don't you think?

I wonder what it's thinking about

spoiler Post-rock

You can tell I'm getting eepy cause I won't even explain what post-rock is. Here's a playlist someone else made. Sorry for my laziness.

:::

Miku covers

We all know what Hatsune Miku is. Funny story, at one point I purchased a miku poster and my Mom really liked it for some reason. It's hanging in her bedroom thousands of kilometers away from my house right now.

Anyway, I like the miku covers of After Dark and Little Dark age. They're both made by astrophysics

Manbo-p

Japanese Songwriter that uses vocaloids for singing. Their songs are always centered around some absurd story and video, but usually contain some sort of interesting message in there. They have so many songs that I like that I'm just going to make a big list. The song titles should give you an idea of the insanity. Be sure to turn on english subtitles!

  1. A kappa is boiling slugs in my kitchen. A song that can be interpreted to be about loneliness in a "modern" lifestyle.
  2. Clownish Linda and the sinking planet. I'm not going to explain every song. Go watch it.
  3. Hey zombie, eat me rather than that meat.
  4. Proof Geometric Construction Can Solve All Love Affairs. A song about how math nerds are unhinged and insane.
  5. Sweet float apartment. This is just your average low income housing complex. Also, the songwriter's sister made a cover
  6. A classy, tactful Fire Extinguisher. Love song between a girl and fire extinguisher.

I played a show recently and the opening group was a riot grrl punk band all 14, the drummer had a shirt with the trans flag with an AK saying "trans rights by any means necessary". Their parents were there to support them, it was heartwarming. Some of the youth is alright, it does make me really sad though with the world they have been forced into.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Okay two transgenderisms

My mother talking about my great-uncle (who everyone had assumed was gay but actually was bisexual and had something gender going on): so yeah he was a drama teacher and would dress as a woman in every play they performed, my dad, your grandfather would affectionately says he was a [t-slur]

Me: wait why is this the first I'm hearing about this?

Her: anyway I have a bunch of his vinyl records from the 50s

Me: GIVE THEM TO ME

CW I guess societal transphobiaI feel kind of fucked up by this, like there's an alternative timeline where things were a bit more progressive in the latter half 20th century and my great aunt could have lived openly as a trans woman (or non-binary) and I having known her all my life got to see her as a normal role model and transitioned in my teens/20s while she was still alive.

[–] lilypad@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

::: spoiler spoiler cat-trans this whole story is tragic and beautiful. We all need more trans role models. And idk but for me being able to recontextualize one of my family members as trans would be a blessing; im so glad you finally got to learn about this aspect of her existence!

Side note, how were the records?

However, trans people are not a moral, philosophical or social issue. They are people. The statement β€œsome people are transgender” is a demographic fact, not an ideological position.

Had the meeting today, it went pretty well. Only two other people there and both in very different situations then me. But hopefully there will be more people next week. Its nice to introduce myself as myself instead of coming out later.

Also I work literally all day tomorrow kitty-cri more money to keep saving though.. but fuck I didn't realize I was signing up for 14 hours

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

::: spoiler meds update

So, i think ln these meds im a bit better at actually making decisions! That doesnt mean im making good decisions, but i am making decisions! Im peeing when i need to pee instead of many hours later, im taking out the trash because im no longer forgetting about the trash in between noticing it and putting my shoes on. Im also now choosing to sit on my phone out of habit instead of choosing to do the other things i could be doing. This is kinda weird tbh. Feel abnormal and normal all at once.

Finally got a call back from my job search! It's a cancer research postdoc in a state/city that I actually want to live in. Super excited and a bit nervous of course.

meow-bounce

I need to wrangle reference letters now (won't be hard depending on the timeline) and prepare a short research presentation (also shouldn't be hard, but it's definitely nerve-wracking).

fuck that actually hurts. The rush last week must have covered that up. Also I had a bit of a bubble, worked it out though but hopefully I got my full dose last week. Also I know the rubber is "self healing" but I was surprised that I couldn't even see a dot where I poked it last week.

end of week one of E, nothing to report yet. Other then damn near crying for a few hours last night, dunno if that's hormone related though.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good job!

It took me about 2 weeks for the mental stuff to come online but for me the emotional stuff did happen pretty fast and yeah I cried a lot too. Especially in public which was incredibly embarassing because Id spent a long time suppressing tears and being told not to cry in public..

Hi. I've not really engaged with the trans community on here yet.

CW: Imposter syndrome and current-event fearsI am not really "out" in my everyday life, so I feel like I don't have a lot of experiences in common with people here. I guess my fear of coming out is itself an oppression, but I haven't been beaten by cops or discriminated against in a hospital. And with the government trying to make trans folks into terrorists, I'm more and more just wanting to stay in my little closet... Am I a bad trans? I guess I'm just a bad revolutionary; I'm scared of what could happen, even if the risk to me is relatively little.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

spoilerI'm out to a few safe people and that's it, not family and not work. Definitely is! I'm not coming out to family and work until I have to or it gets closer.

No you aren't cat-trans staying safe in the closet is perfectly acceptable, if that's what you want.

[–] lilypad@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

::: spoiler spoiler

You are absolutely not a bad trans! meow-hug cat-trans

Fear of coming out is so real, and like, it took me years to do so. Not having experiences in common isnt a reason to not participate here, id think its more of a reason to participate here ^join^ ^us^. This mega is for trans people to talk about basically whatever we want, not just trans specific stuff!

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

spoilerYou can post here if you want~ youre still trans, come hang out on the trans mega

Youre the only one who can guage what is safe and isnt for you. I will only say that you will probably be happier if you were out and taking whatever other steps you want (plenty of trans women do not take hormones and plenty dont want to have any surgeries, its not a requirement to be trans to do either). But I cant say if thats worth your sense of safety, youre the only one who can make that judgement call. I know for me, the euphoria of being called a woman, having people use my name, and having people say ma'am or use she/her with me was worth the risks - and I couldnt bear to boymode anymore anyway.

Oppression and being sad and dysphoria aren't the inherent conditions of being transgender - I really believe this. Yes theyre part of our experience because society sucks. The real inherent condition of being trans is euphoria and joy, like true deep joy. Every day I get to wake up and be a woman! Its still, despite everything, a great feeling and it still hasn't been dulled. You are part of this joy and euphoria as far as you want to take it

spoilerTake things step by step, that's a basic tenet of dialectics. You cannot become a good revolutionary if you are unable to take care of your personal safety. So don't beat yourself up for still being in the closet.

My dream job was and still is Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain

You have a dope costume, you get to be hilarious, you get a subby sidekick, there's no expectation or pressure that you ever actually succeed, and your evil plans can be as low stakes as ruining a local pond or destroying the biosphere. Total blue sky. Plus if you stick around long enough you get to team up with the heroes to take down some super duper evil villain if you ever get bored of the evil schtick.
