@gallaimage agree, tho there is always a context for your work, even if it is unspoken. This is sometimes in your control, but not always. The context isn't "in" the work but is both inherent to it - as in, the context from which you created it, as well as outside of it - as in the context it is received physically, and the mental context of your audience. Totally agree tho that wordy explanations of a work usually take away from rather than add to.

So, DISCMASTER.TEXTFILES.COM may be shut down at the end of the month, just due to the cost of running and maintaining it. I'm mentioning this just because I'd like to encourage people to use it extensively while next stage planning is looked into, so the maximum value is enjoyed.

"Hey, can you switch instances? Your admin favorited a joke that I didn't appreciate once. Might need to block you otherwise. Oh, and that crowdfunding platform you use? Back in 2006 they let an organization I don't personally align with use their platform. You should abandon that. Also, -"

Shhhh. Let people enjoy things. I am all for being socially conscious but we can't boycott everything. We are so tired. Please go outside.

"I am worth getting my needs met, with or without a disability. I am worth taking up space. And, I have learned, if I do not take up space in the places I fear I am not enough, there will be no space for me at all."

My 8-step process for email management:

1. Read email.
2. Mark as unread.
3. Think about email.
4. Feel bad for ignoring email.
5. Mark email as important.
6. Contemplate taking action. Don’t.
7. Guilt and shame.
8. Repeat.

PSA: If you use Digitakt and/or Digitone, you can try out overwitch for Overbridge support via Jack! Works perfectly fine for me and now I can record 8 + 4 tracks at once from my DT and DN.
