It's been awhile, but I'm finally making it back over to Berlin for a bit in June...really looking forward to it! Looking forward to renting a bike and getting around a good bit that way...and I'll be able to wander around Tempelhofer Feld in nice weather (I hope!). šŸ˜‰

Morning doggo content, because dogs. šŸ˜‰ Our newest arrival Rocco (senior pit/bullmastiff mix) figuring out how to be a studio dog. His family moved overseas and couldnā€™t take him so we adopted him. Heā€™s a big lovable olā€™ potatoā€¦

Saw a headline this morning that made me damn near fall out of my chair at work laughing...a Swiss website was apparently taken down in a DDoS attack by a botnet of hacked...smart toothbrushes. šŸ¤£ I had to make a song out of it, so I wrote and recorded this tonight.... soundcloud.com/b3nut/f24-06...

This AfD nonsense has been quite upsetting, not least as a queer disabled migrant, but knowing there are others who'll be targeted far more than me.

I'd quite like to fight these people in June's election.

If you could help me get on the ballot paper, I'd be so grateful.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. And for the love of all that is good and holy VOTE!!!! Nothing good ever comes from religious fundamentalism...especially when it aspires to authority over other human beings.

Saw the Wooten Brothers (Victor, Joseph, Reggie, and Roy aka Futureman!) at the Majestic Theatre in Madison this past Wednesday. Unfreakingbelievable. They effortlessly blended jazz and heavy rock with deep funk and old school soul with scary chops. Victor is a bass legend for good reasonā€¦ šŸ¤Æ

It's scary and disgusting. Seeing it pop up over here too. Authorities would do well to reflect on Karl Popper's tolerance paradox, I would think....

One of my favorite cuts from a blues/soul project I played Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano on. Really happy with how this record came out...Kelsey writes some great songs and is marvelous singer (on top of being a truly awesome human.) Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZQw...

To be sure, this is unconstitutional posturing, but it is nonetheless debased grandstanding that has frankly reached a new low even for them. They are full-throated fascists without a doubt. We need turnout like never before...
