Music Blog (Some Of It Is Mine!)

Side blog of Soaringsearingphoenix. My passions include vocal mimicry and dance symbolism. Living with me is basically like having a canary or a parrot. Hey, if you want, you can give me a topic and I'll write you a silly little poem! Currently tagging corona- and other bad-world-event-related posts as “about the dark times” so if you dont wanna see them you can block it.

Before Hip-Hop Stages, There Were Roller Rinks

The soul of roller skating has been rolling through Black communities for 100+ years—from “Soul Night” during segregation to JB style in Chicago, trains in NY/NJ, LA slides, and Atlanta’s Cascade. Rinks were stages for hip-hop before the big venues, safe havens in tense cities, and hubs for youth, family, and culture. Ledger Smith skated 685 miles to the March on Washington. Today, Black-owned rinks like Cascade (ATL), RollerCade (Detroit), and Rollin’ CLT (Charlotte) still carry the legacy. This isn’t a comeback. It never left.

I've been doing a bit of gaming programming every lunch time and it's been nice. You'd think that taking a break from my job of coding to do more coding would suck but it's all about the outcomes.

I'm very nearly at the point where I could show this to someone and have them get what I'm going for.

[ghostoftom]

Okay I had a really positive experience of showing this to some of my friends laughing about how it generated the name "Tom Jones" (it's not unusual) and people immediately started noting other names and making up characters for them.

"Shiela Hell is the name of an Australian Wrestler" "Gear Pinko is a communist mechanic" This is really good news as it means that at its most basic level, the name list is interesting. Eventually there are going to be backgrounds too but I have more higher priority work I need to do on this before I get to that.

What I'm doing is I have a google doc and whenever I think of a background I reckon is interesting I jot it down.

i'm your only friend (realizes that's statistically unlikely) i'm not your only friend (considers my positive qualities) but i'm a little glowing friend (suddenly gets cold feet) but really i'm not actually your friend (remembers to be confident in relationships) but i am

Here's what I've realized from the Artemis II mission:

You cannot study STEM without the arts, and you cannot study humanities without the sciences. In that tiny capsule we sent to the moon, we sent physicists who are also photographers. We sent poets who are pilots.

We sent experts on exact scientific maneuvers who also express precise emotion and experience that will be quoted for decades. They play with a stuffed moon in the background of a broadcast and have Chappell Roan as their wakeup music. They drove around the far side of the moon.

We sent parents, partners...We sent humans, who are unabashedly showing their humanity and brilliance and vulnerability. They are smart and kind and generous and ambitious and silly and thoughtful and so damn good at what they do. And they want to share it all with us.

Some of my favorite quotes from Artemis ii so far:

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"To all of you down there on Earth... we love you, from the moon."

"We just went sci fi."

"It is so great to see Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania: we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too."

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

“It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it Carroll.”

[tevruden]

People always wonder why we need to risk sending humans out to do this when we can just send a robot. I think this is a good explanation.

my most ace trait is that in high school i thought relationships sounded like a waste of time because instead of thinking about kissing i could be using that time for writing

my most writer trait is that it's not like i was actually even using that time for writing
