i saw you use cohost. would you recommend is as a good/active twitter alternative? im getting tired of the hell hole that this bird website is
i really love cohost and the community there but it is absolutely NOT a twitter alternative. if anything it's a tumblr alternative.
here's my small speech about cohost and why i like it
it's a mix between tumblr and livejournal which is fun
the community is very fun and active! when i made my intro post i had a dozen people leaving a comment welcoming me to cohost which is a very nice feeling
it is very much NOT about likes and follower counts. in fact, there is no way for anyone to know how many likes a post has, or how many followers someone has. YOU dont even know how many followers you have
the only visible number is the number of comments on a post, which is where the community comes from: if you want people to know a post is great, you gotta leave a comment saying so!!!
you can have as many links as you want on your profile, AND you can have links be only visible to logged in users, only to people following you, or only visible to pages you follow... so it's a great way to have your discord only be visible to certain people for example
if you DO want a more twitter-like experience, there is a tag that's The Global Cohost Feed, so you have a bunch of posts from a lot of people
when you first join you will have a few days where you can't post anything, but you can still look at posts and share them. a lot of it must be so cohost can prepare code to bring you in or whatever, BUT it also means you get those couple of days to get to know the culture of the website a bit more! it's lovely
chronological feed my beloved
no algorithm my beloved
cohost does have some issues (adding images is a PAIN), but the staff is working really hard to fix them and is always listening to people's feedback! i like cohost a lot. join me
bumping this. for reasons. join me <3
sharing this today for No Particular Reason, but i also want to add a few more bullet points, some of which are features added in the time since the original post was made:
adult content is allowed on cohost, if you miss being able to post that freely
cohost has asks and audio posts, two beloved tumblr features that most other sites lack
you can enable anonymous asks while also requiring your anons to be logged into cohost, which is extremely helpful in combating anon hate
cohost has an email inbox-like "following" page that shows you a list of everyone you're following and their most recent posts. this is good for checking to see what you missed from people who don't post as often and would otherwise get buried on your feed by your more active mutuals
and, last but not least, while most posts just use the default formatting, cohost is very generous with the amount of custom CSS styling you're allowed to use in your posts, which has lead to a user culture that embraces "CSS crimes." sometimes this just means people changing the fonts on their posts, but other times it gets way more elaborate with animated or even interactive elements. i once saw someone make an elaborate interactive puzzle box within a cohost post
in general, these days cohost is the only alternative social media where i actually like being active and posting thoughts and talking to people, where it feels like it's developed its own enjoyable user culture that isn't just "haha wow glad we're not on that OTHER site anymore, am i right guys?" it's not a 1:1 replacement for any of the big sites, nor is it designed to be, but it's a site that i like spending time on
Popping in to say, you should all move to cohost. I'm at cohost.org/TV-MA. k bye
"Mozart was autistic because he was a child prodigy who wrote whole pieces in a day" no Mozart was autistic because he used echolalia and always spoke the truth even though it got him violently ejected from his workplace and had no interest in marriage and had a childish personality and sense of humor and was routine-oriented and had a low frustration tolerance. the prodigy thing has almost nothing to do with it. I would like to see one scholar within my lifetime consider the posthumous diagnosis for ANY reason other than "little boy played music well." I take personal offense to the fact that despite his utter genius he's been considered immature by academics because of his mannerisms. where have I heard THAT one before?
A quote from his father:
"He was so extremely fond of me - I, of course, fairly doting upon him - that he would repeatedly enquire whether I truly loved him; and when in jest I would occasionally say 'No,' his little eyes would fill with tears, so sensitive and loving was his heart."
From his sister:
"He loved our parents, especially our father, so much that he composed a little tune which he would sing every night before going to bed - for which purpose purpose father would stand him on a chair. Father was invariably required to sing the second part, and when this little ritual, which was never overlooked, was finished, Wolfgang would kiss our father very sweetly and go to sleep peaceful and contented. And this went on, every night, except when he was ill and already in bed, until he was in his tenth year."
"Until he was almost ten years old, he had an insurmountable horror of the trumpet when it was sounded alone, without other instruments; merely holding a trumpet toward him terrified him as much as if it had been a loaded pistol. His father wished to overcome this childish alarm, and ordered me once, in spite of the boy's pathetic pleading, to blow towards him; but, oh God! How I wish that I had not been induced to do it. Wolfgang no sooner heard the blaring sound than he turned deathly pale, began to collapse, and would certainly have fallen into convulsions, had I not immediately let off."
But yeah let's focus on his skill set like everyone else around him did
Biggest indicator of all: he was a catboy
A viral tweet recalls a wonderful anecdote, written into classical music lore, that when Mozart grew bored in opera rehearsals, he would sta

I know I'm not alone in this but: the pandemic has been really hard for me.
The perpetual feeling of the walls caving in, the feeling of everything shouting: my job, the state of the world, the mess of my living space; the feeling of losing my sense of control.
There was a lot of overlap with how I felt growing up. Getting picked on at school, having a hard time maintaining friendships, having a loud and unstable home. Back when I was a child, my choice of escape was losing myself in the music I listened to, drowning noise with noise. That's a lot harder to do when music becomes your job, a source of income. You end up needing an escape from your escape.
The way I learned how to escape as an adult was to take day/weekend trips, to seek silence. Growing up I never had the opportunity to experience nature. I grew up in the concrete jungle, my family couldn't afford vacations and hated hiking. As a victim of patriarchy, I wasn't allowed to leave my house unless accompanied by another person. It doesn't cost much to visit somewhere natural in California, and a nature trip is close by in any direction you go. I've always been lacking in resources so over the years, I have became really good at taking cost effective trips.
You don't realize the power of silence and stillness unless you are afforded the privilege of experiencing it. Social media, news, entertainment, every consumable item, way of living, & solution is given to us by capitalists. They mold our ideas of fulfillment as unchanging and natural, in an attempt to take away our power to reflect. We grow tired, consume easily digestible media, combat the noise with additional noise. We reach for anything to drown out how overwhelmed we are with every little thing screaming at us, attempting to capitalize on our attention, our talents, and our energy.
In 2020 I watched my refuges metaphorically and literally go up in flames. Rising nationwide fascism has made unfamiliar places feel unsafe for someone like me who is neither cis or white. In late summer the sky along the entire west coast turned orange for 2-3 weeks. Some of my favorite places burned to the ground. The local forest where I used to take my hikes was engulfed in flames and as of today, is still permanently closed.
One of my refuges in central coast California wasn't as hard hit during the pandemic. In the last few years, it's become a symbol of stillness for me, a place I craved everyday I started feeling overwhelmed by the noise. In November, everything finally lined and I was able to escape to Cambria. Less virus fear as I got the new ultra effective booster shot. Quit my FT job but Gavin Newsom gave us those practically useless rebates that could afford you either one future emergency or a weekend vacation.
It's been a little over a month and the trip still symbolizes hope and healing for me. Healing in that my skin shed newfound trauma from the last few faschy years and my thoughts re-organized to better prepare for the stormy weather ahead. Hope in that there are still places of silence, stillness, and untouched by the yelling. Places we can recover. Maybe one day we can reclaim every place of silence. Maybe we can liberate every place victim to the noise.
I've had a lot of inspiration since being able to reconnect with silence. Music and words come from my ability to sit in stillness. Can't wait for you all to hear.

People who switch pronouns in songs to no-homo the situation are so funny. The idea literally never even occurred to me as a kid. Couldn’t be me. I am a woman scorned. I am a man who had his heart broken. I am a guy who hates his hometown. I’m a country boy, I’m a city girl. I’m a slut. I’m addicted to cocaine. It’s a song, man.
I haven’t talked about it as much on tumblr but, did you know I’m a streamer? :P
Since July I’ve been streaming twice a week on Twitch. After running myself down tour/life shit, I need to get back on track with actually producing music! So I'll be taking a break from streaming until the new year.
Here on tumble, I may decide to start posting old videos and stuff while I gear up to start streaming again. There’s also a possibility I will do special streams on Xmas/New years day, we'll see.
If by some miracle I end up passing more followers on Youtube than Twitch, I may move all my streams on Youtube instead.
Til then, follow me at

It’s bandcamp friday! And I have music and posters!
My electroacoustic noisepop EP Escape the Land of Despair came out earlier this year. If you haven’t listened yet, it’s available on my BC and I get 100% of the profits today! https://tvma.bandcamp.com
Roan Everly made beautiful art for the cover and so we have limited posters for the EP on my bandcamp as well. Hope u all enjoy <3
Feeling pretty good for only releasing 4 songs this year! I also was the top 10 artist for 25 ppl and the top 5 artist for 10! Whoever you 25 are, thank u <33333
Spotify wrapped always feels conflicting with the company not paying us fairly and the way it causes us to compare ourselves to others. I don't even have or use the site!
But it feels like a yearly report card that can give us some sort of metric on how we did last year vs. this. So it's hard not to look forward to it every fall! Next year I hope to do better but what I hope for more is the proletariat seizure of the state.
Threw a fancy dress-up tea party for my bday this weekend
