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?!?!

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 […]
Track Title: The Self-Care Song
ASCAP Registration #: 929073436 Sometimes it feels like the rain always comes our way Sometimes it feels like memories and pain are here to stay No matter how it feels, all things from us pass away This too, shall pass, and things will again be okay We have some tools that can help us keep our peace Use them often to keep focus and make the chaos cease First up, though simple, deceptively misleading Use breath to train the body, send stress receding Easiest programming a human can ever do Anywhere you breathe — this one you can pursue Four […]
Thank you, Sen. Chris Murphy (#corruption #review)
Providing for archival purposes. The presentation Sen. Murphy made of this information is worth the watch and also provided here, courtesy of the public posting of recording by TikTok user @4thepeoplebythepeople (thank you); video follows the image. While watching this, please consider using the website https://5calls.org to make it clear to your House and Senate representatives what you think about this, the state of our nation, and what you want to see them do to put a stop to this. Full image from video is the featured image of this post (points up). Thank you for keeping up to date […]
Archival: Community Advocacy, March 2025
Occasionally, when I feel I’ve presented my thinking especially well, I will archive the interaction here. Primarily because I believe in having my flowers when I think I deserve them, but also because it’s a convenient way to make my perspective clear. It doesn’t mean I cannot understand other perspectives, but it does mean this is the one I try to live by and with, which is helpful for others to understand. That said, the interaction as it occurred on the Discord channel, where I exist but as a single voice giving my own lived experience and thoughts to those […]
Why I am so frustrated about working…
This image demonstrates the major categories of thinking desired by business and recommended by business management research and analysis: I offer all four across both diverse domains and specifically in technology; application and systems software analysis, design, development, and delivery and still I’ve been out of work since 2017. It is maddening. I cannot access the degrees that this world demands to ‘believe’ you’re good at something, even though I have thirty years, a portfolio of samples from 1999 to roughly 2011 (before the NDA work largely put an end to portfolio demonstrations). No one is interested. Over 5,000 resumes […]
