For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an an outlier—not just in the neurotypical world but even within neurodivergent spaces where I thought I might find understanding. I’m a hyper-verbal, hyper-empathic, flat-affect individual whose mental capability has always measured “extremely high”. These traits don’t just make me unique; they often leave me on the edges of communities where I desperately want to belong. I’ve spent decades navigating this dynamic, and while I’ve built spaces of my own—a blog, ASCAP-registered lyrics, and posts on platforms like Bluesky and Discord—I still encounter the same painful patterns. Conversations go silent when […]
Track Title: Receipts
ASCAP Registration #: 929482704 Yes, now we see you’re vindictive Yes, now we see you’re contradictor Yes, now we see you’re restrictive Yes, now you see I’m predictor Punishing your own child just to get to me Happy Birthday, Unicorn Girl, My love will always be I tried to send you email, your mom has cut the cord Poisoned every well and every plowshare turned to sword Just like her half-brother, at the end of the day Stuck on buried resentment and rage because I sent her away Still doesn’t get it that it was always better for her that […]
Track title: This Is Fascism
ASCAP Registraton #: 929458861 This is fascism and it wants to come and stay To run our lives, take them too, as whim may Detained Prison slavery for any who naysay Command and control – it’s the game they play They’re yanking people off of our streets Think they’re allowed cuz they’re ‘the elites’ Not you they care for, just labor you can give If they like how you kiss the ring, you get to live Ontologically, they murder all dissent They act the same, this is their remit: Where are your papers? Prove yourself to me! What are you […]
Track Title: Common Ground
ASCAP Registration #: 929373508 Life is short, enjoy your stay Play and sport, come what may Smile, cavort, each and every day Flip retorts of those who block your way Your time in this life holds no guarantees Of all things, don’t become an absentee Yes, you are unique, just like the rest of us In all that you speak, let there be no disgust Direct or oblique, communicate we must Or all we’ll have left is ashes and dust Takes all types to make this world go ‘round To the fate of our planet, we’re all bound This beautiful […]
My thoughts on “Fight Oligarchy” tour stop: Vegas (1st Half Reaction Audio)
I am ignorant too, just like any other human. I mis-named this woman and I should have looked it up before getting started, but the thought was overflowing and I made a call and this is the result. I will do better. My apologies to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Congresswoman for the Bronx and Queens.
Track Title: Democracy’s Swan Song
I rarely preface these, but here I am, doing just that. If anyone out there wants to make this a real song, please connect via the contact form here or reach out on Blueksky (@yeshes.online). ASCAP Registration #: 929282710 Mobility is your inherent right!!!! Is this Nazi Germany?!?!?! Must my papers be in sight?!?! Their jack-boots slapping They walk down our streets Their hatred stamping Our rights beneath… Seeking out the different Getting more vociferant Prison complex so clinquant Always wanting what you got Rights actively they supplant Will you comply? I know I just can’t. Attacking the ideals that […]
Why I stay with Bluesky
Sharing the SWSX live stream because when you compare this narrative to the ones of the other platforms, particularly its currently open and free access and personalizing configuration (still unfolding), it becomes clear this is emergent possibility for better and more refined functionality than we’ve managed to see scale successfully. It’s an exciting time. Lots of opportunity. I’ve been yelling since the BBS days about the need to stipulate and protect a concept that is today called ‘protocols’ (that’s another article) as an emergent technology that genuinely can and likely will return personal power and certainly digital dignity (not Lanier’s […]
Ooops… (audio permissions)
These demos are intended to be shareable; my intention is to provide deliberately non-commercial demos illustrating my potential as a lyricist. The demos are (mostly) intentionally over-wordy and complicated, because what better way to show you possibility without giving away marketable work? There may be a few here and there that could be taken into studio and made nicely commercial; don’t want you thinking I can’t manage that. But, for the moment, everything before Jan 2025 is in need of replacement as I mucked up the permissions and they are now locked down, must be removed and re-uploaded (when I […]
Track Title: The People
ASCAP Registration #: 929121366 While you live, shine, have no grief at all Life exists only for a short while, and Time demands its due Wake up smiling each and every new day Looking for new paths to make my way Hoping for chances to arrive, come to stay Possibility renewed, come what may It don’t mean life ain’t filled with chaos and strife Just means we’re not willing to accept it for the rest of our life This universe, it exists for all lives within it No favoritism, life gets more than it can deal with The world holds […]
Track Title: “White”
ASCAP Registration #: 929073465 Let me tell you a story about a lie called “white” Everything it stands for is purely full of shite It’s just a made up label for eugenicist delight Behind suffering of millions, they’ve been the blight 1670 – the year of ‘whites’ first use I guess before that, they needed no excuse 18, 19 hundreds? No longer so recluse A pseudo-scientific bias started this abuse They weaponized bigotry and slandered our biology They want to assure their own ‘white’ supremacy Plenty of those ‘whites’ were quick to stand and say This kind of thing is […]
