TRANSMODERN VEILS

love mystery. abandon identity. // ATL

i do and sell music stuff (producer-rapper/singer-songwriter + dj). dj mixes are free bc i'm using other people's music, just my principle. original albums are usually available for free at release until i feel like putting a price on them... total discography is on bandcamp for a huge discount. i started this project like six years ago. idk what else to say <3

In Buddhist terms, the conditioned, subjective mind is unable to comprehend its own inability to comprehend, although it is able to cultivate a sense of tolerance (ksanti) towards the incomprehensible. How does this tolerance operate? If I am uncertain about a concept or an experience, or if I become aware of a certain ambiguity in my own consciousness, I do not try to control that ambiguity by clasping on to a fleeting and fictitious sense of conviction or assurance, but try instead to observe that uncertainty with a sense of open-minded acceptance. There is no grasping involved in the practise of ksanti; as [John] Cage repeatedly reminds us, indeterminacy entails giving up personal intention and diminishing authorial control in favour of acknowledging a wider, less containable condition of experience.

one of my first collections of dj mixes is called vampire hunter deleuze. it came out in october 2020. now it's about to be june 2026, and i'm coming out with vampire hunter deleuze 2.

different ideas and execution, but i'd like to think that i've grown as a dj in the six years and that the experimental spirit endures. you can decide for yourself what makes it a proper sequel.

vampire hunter deleuze 2 will be available for download on 6/5 for bandcamp friday...yeah

[taigacryptid]

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

EDIT: THIS IS A CARRD NOW! it's updated and organized!!

EDIT EDIT: this is on my website now! this is the version that will be somewhat regularly updated. the carrd will remain, but will no longer be updated.

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

use firefox or librewolf (open-source fork of firefox) instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).

use mega instead of google drive

get rid of bloatware

use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite

get free stuff with the help of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH, r/piracy and r/roms

use trakt (for shows and movies), letterboxd (just movies), or TMB instead of IMDB (owned by amazon).

use storygraph instead of goodreads (owned by amazon).

use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions

use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp

make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge

use search for a cause, ecosia, or ocean hero to support the environment instead of google

use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)

use flashpoint to play archived online flash games

find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books

remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X

remove bloatware on samsung X

use pixelfed instead of instagram or meta

use project gutenberg for free public domain books, and librivox for public domain books and audiobooks

use the seal app (android only) to download video and audio

use ellipsus instead of microsoft word or google docs

use mastodon instead of twitter

use peertube to create a network of small video hosting providers (disclaimer: not a 1:1 alternative to youtube)

use threema and signal for encrypted communication, on mobile and desktop

use qwant and startpage for secure internet browsers

use syncthing to securely transfer files between devices

use library extension to look for books on online stores and find them at your library

remove paywalls with removepaywalls

install the open-source adblocker ublock origin

install sponsorblock to skip sponsored segments on youtube videos

use bookfinder to look for the cheapest available listings of books, including textbooks

learn a language through mango (duolingo laid off some of its employees and now relies on AI translations) for free with a library card or through your school

edit photos with photopea

edit pdfs with foxit and sumatrapdf

download music with doubledouble

take notes offline and collaborate securely with obsidian

for android tv, use smarttube and cloudstream (ad-free, open-source)

change your OS to linux

removed unroll.me (sells your data)

removed proton mail and drive (AI assistant feature, claims of CEO Andy Yen supporting Trump, please DM if you have proof I can add here)

removed NCH suite (only has very basic free features, puts watermark on anything saved)

notes:

this post blew up while I wasn’t looking (the end of my semester was hellish, and i recently came back from a 3-week family vacation). thanks so much for all the suggestions! <3

i included Ecosia because of their financial transparency. It’s physically impossible that they plant a tree for every search, but their profits still go towards projects including reforestation and solar energy. i view their actions as a net-positive

feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

you can start anytime.

you can brush your teeth in the middle of the day. you can wash the dishes at 2am. you can do things outside the normal times assigned by society.

grammar of the baroque

As the salvation of phenomena comes about by means of ideas, the presentation of ideas comes about in the medium of the empirical. For ideas present themselves not in themselves but solely in a correlation of the elements of things in the concept— indeed, as the configuration of these elements. The set of concepts operating in the presentation of an idea makes that idea manifest as a configuration of concepts. For phenomena are not incorporated in ideas. They are not contained in them. Rather, ideas are the objective virtual arrangement of phenomena, their objective interpretation.

Walter Benjamin, Origin of the German Trauerspiel p. 10

The reciprocal synthesis of differential relations as the source of the production of real objects - this is the substance of Ideas in so far as they bathe in the thought-element of qualitability. A triple genesis follows from this: that of qualities ... that of space and time ... that of concepts. [...] Ideas appear in the form of a system of ideal connections—in other words, a system of differential relations between reciprocally determined genetic elements.

Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition pp. 173-4

[i used to be fixated on what i felt was a resonance between benjamin and deleuze, especially around this talk of ideas. i never got it ironed out, but i did spiral around it for at least three years.]

“It seems to me that what people have lost subjectively in regard to consciousness is very simply the capability to imagine the totality as something that could be completely different. That people are sworn to this world as it is and have this blocked consciousness vis-à-vis possibility, all this has a very deep cause, indeed, a cause that I would think is very much connected exactly to the proximity of utopia, with which you are concerned. My thesis about this would be that all humans deep down, whether they admit this or not, know that it would be possible or it could be different. Not only could they live without hunger and probably without anxiety, but they could also live as free human beings.”

you guys do realise walking doesn't actually move you anywhere right? it just destroys you entirely and places a perfect copy of you right in front of where you were standing

Scrolled down the MF DOOM tag trying to find the mac and cheese image and I couldn't so anyway here it is literally one of my favourite images of all time

[mcflurry-of-dancing-flames]

very important that you include MF DOOM's Villainous Mac and Cheese Recipe alongside this image
