This is another post that reminds me of “The Temples of Syrinx” from Rush’s epic “2112”.
We’ve taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure
To your eye
One for all and all for one
Work together
Common sons Never need to wonder
How or why
We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers
Fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life
Are held within our walls
This is something I had posted last week. It might seem unreasonable.
Somebody had told me that a post of mine had gotten submitted to HN, and the first comments were from people annoyed that I have a bit of JavaScript in place that tells people clicking on links from HN, Twitter, Facebook, etc. that they are not welcome on my website. Apparently I was being childish.
Never mind that they were proving me right about not wanting traffic from HN.
OK, I wrote this last night. I’m basically saying trans rights in a link post that points to a recent article in New York Magazine and tying it to the Ides of March. CW for discussion of historical and contemporary violence against marginalized people.
There’s an art-rock band from the 1970s called Renaissance that used to use the bass guitar as a lead instrument, too, though the bass was often overshadowed by the keyboards and Annie Haslam’s vocals.
I grew up online reading feminist blogs, and I’ve really been feeling the lack of feminist media recently. I might try and pick this blog up again when I find something to post. I am also setting up a personal blog, but that’s still being coded…
I had actually written most of this a few weeks ago, but I fudged the creation date because I had just pushed the new version of my website to my main domain at https://starbreaker.org (https://new.starbreaker.org is now an alias instead of its own domain.)
@arevakhach had given me some advice by email back in January that I ended up taking into account.
I’m keeping up with this Weekly Wrap Up idea and I just posted the 3rd one. I talk about puppies ruining plans, medieval crowns and wonder why am I this old but don’t feel like an adult yet.
New blog post up with my thoughts on different alternative social media platforms that I’ve tried (does talk about toxicity on social media but usually only brief mentions, still though, be warned)
