Streaming music is a great way to discover new music, but if you want indie artists to have the time, money, & emotional support needed to continue making new music, you need to purchase their music outright.
This is the last check I got from my distributor for all streaming royalties for the past 3 years. It’s “sandwich money” as Weird Al would say.

You can find my music available to purchase at https://kydia.bandcamp.com

Do you ever think about where the music comes from when you're put on a hold with a customer service rep? Of course you don't. You only think about yourself.

I can't believe Taylor Swift had the audacity to be beautiful, talented, and hard-working, accumulating success, fame, wealth, and industry-wide respect, simultaneously proving her haters wrong while inspiring millions of teenage girls, and didn't bother to run it by curmudgeonly old white dudes who haven't listened to new music since the 90's.

The lizard capitalist class sees us as NPCs that exist purely to produce labor and provide value so Line Goes Up.
But that’s not what we were meant for as humans. We’re meant to sit under palm trees and eat mangoes and figs, dance around bonfires, drink beer and sing songs, gaze at the stars and tell stories to our children.

A gentle reminder that this is Disability Pride Month—a perfect time to get into the habit of adding ALT text to any pictures you post. There are many sight-impaired individuals that would appreciate it, and even those with excellent vision sometimes need clarity on what is going on in a picture, or what is significant about it. ALT text is also a great opportunity to add more context, humor, or commentary.

Does anyone have any tips/experience trimming the ruff of long-haired cats? Thor’s majestic wizard beard is getting so long it gets stuck in his mouth when he tries to groom himself; he literally cannot pull his head back far enough to release it from his mouth.
I tried using safety scissors a bit but couldn’t get good angles to do a good job. Any tips on how to hold him steady or certain techniques I should try would be appreciated!

It’s Caturday, yeeeeaaah!

This is probably the best “action” shot I’ve ever captured of Thor and Loki.

Artists: if your creative output wasn’t valuable, they wouldn’t be trying to steal it.

That goes for all creatives, not just visual artists, of course.

Being rude at someone for the (usually) honest mistake of failing to provide Alt Text on an image is UNNACCEPTABLE.

But someone simply requesting/reminding you to provide Alt Text is not them being rude or passive-aggressive or “performative allyship.”

Happy Caturday from Mayor Doots and Chief Inspector Thor.

Yes, I can confirm that it feels amazing to be able to create your own music.

YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME

I really do believe that EVERYONE should exercise their creativity and make art. Even if it’s not good. Even if your first attempts are clumsy, poorly executed, and amateurish (and oh yes they will be!). Because:

I think creativity is an innate part of being human.

It’s therapeutic

It works your brain in good ways—it’s a type of imaginative play

It makes you appreciate other’s creative efforts more, b/c you have first-hand experience in how challenging it can be

It’s extremely fulfilling!
