Another scam!

Tumblr shouldn't reach out to you in a post, especially not on an official tumblr blog.

Look out for these people!

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

Low Stock - there are only a couple copies of my own tarot set, the Flux Arcana, left in my web shop. If you read tarot, or would just like to get your hands on over 80 of my illustrations, this is your chance while supplies last. 🤘

The problem with students now is not they have chat GPT causing them to cheat. The problem is that cheating used to take some effort so you ended up learning something as a side effect. Now you don't even need to make sure that the person you are going to pay to write your paper is any good, you can just have AI write it for you for free.

Finally feeling good enough to the pole studio so I've binged classes.

You never realize how quickly your cardiac fitness drops like a fucking stone. My muscles were fine and strong but holy shit my heart rate went through the fucking roof.

Now I'm sore and bummed that I can't rock the pole like I could in January.

Then again I also remembered what it feels like to fly and that is totally worth it.

I’m going to level with you. I have listened to The Devil Went Down to Georgia for most of my life. We were a country music household, this was a staple of my childhood along with Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, and that one Chipmunks country album.

I have no idea what “Fire on the mountain run boys run/The Devil's in the house of the rising sun/Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough/Granny does your dog bite no child no” means and at this point I’m too scared to ask.

[dementian]

For once I can be of assistance.

Each of the lyrics comes from an old-time hickory song for fiddles, and is a lyric from that corresponding song.

"Fire on the Mountain" --> "Fire on the Mountain, run boys run"

Fire On The Mountain - Fiddle Player POV

"The House of the Rising Sun" --> "The Devil's in the house of the rising sun"

House of the Rising Sun

"Ida Red" --> "Chicken in the bread pan peckin' out dough"

Ida Red - Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys

"Granny Will Your Dog Bite" --> "Granny does your dog bite? 'No child, no'."

FTC #149 Granny Will Your Dog Bite

And for your furthered education, The Mountain Whipporwill.

Mountain Whippoorwill (aka How Hillbilly Jim Won the Great Fiddler's Prize)

this is the key part of the song, that a lot of people miss. people have this misconception that the contest between Johnny and The Devil is about who is the better fiddle player. but it isn't. its about who is the better fiddler.

in a time before things like radios and record players, every time you heard music was because there was somebody in the room with you playing an instrument. and many, many, many social events involved dancing, which requires music. so, if you're planning any kind of gathering in the american south or appalachia, you need to find a fiddler. and the fiddler's job is to play music that everybody knows and likes and can dance to.

the mistake The Devil makes in his bet with Johnny is that he misinterprets the contest as being about technical ability, so he has this big flashy song. he plays fast and impressively with a band of demons playing unfamiliar instruments in unfamiliar rhythms. he's definitely more skilled at playing than Johnny, and thinks he has it in the bag.

but Johnny wins because the contest is about being the best fiddler. the song uses these lines mentioned above as a shorthand for saying that Johnny is playing these songs. Johnny launches into a set of the most popular songs, played well, and that's what gives him his big win. A good fiddler knows all the hits, and can read the room to know what to play next. The Devil loses because he completely fails to read the room, and doesn't know the right songs.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what the future looks like. If I'm honest, for much of my life I could conceive of the many futures laying before us but now I cannot. I was honestly worried about my concerns until it hit me; we are in a transition period. A shift is happening and I don't know what it will be. There are too many possible futures to parse and until we've moved into the next era it's impossible to guess.

I feel like fucking Leto Atredies over here when the Dune tarot clouded his sight.

in my beautiful dream of the future 'masculine' and 'feminine' will be entirely relegated to describing specific fashion aesthetics and if you try and use it to refer to anyone's actions or personality everyone will look at you like you're a crazy person.

I believe in a future where your downstairs mix-up and hormones are between you and your doctor and no one else could give a shit. I believe in a future where people mind their own fucking business. I believe in a future where bigots get shunned and can create their own little gender essentialist affinity groups and the law ignores their bullshit.

Man, honestly, I just want the law to be "Does it affect you?" And if the answer is no then the law says "Then fuck off and deal with your feelings about others on your own time. There are people homeless and dying I could be helping, I'm not checking people's junk for your benefit."

I love overtone in the abstract because being able to add a light blue shine to my dark hair and a blue tint to my white hair is very cool. Especially when it washes out eventually.

I do, however, dislike having my fingertips look cyanotic for a few days afterward.
