Won’t anybody give that doggy an ice cream??

Clarinet and piano duet on an upbeat melody, backed by a string section and a 3-2 beat.

I've had cats and birds in my videos, so I thought it was time for a dog.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire is one of those historical events that I think everyone should have to study because it is SUPER DUPER RELEVANT to now and why we do, in fact, want regulations in every industry.

β€œDid they grow up under a rock??”

Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.

This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

I need to learn how to use a compressor!

I'm new to mixing music, and I noticed my songs sound different on my laptop speakers than on my headphone speakers. I won't be publishing new songs until I've got it figured out.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

2 more songs!

My 5yo wanted to name this one β€œElsa 2β€³. She’s right that it has an iciness, so I went with β€œIcicle.”

The other new song-”Pacific Northwest Winter”-I was looking out my window at the bare-branched maples when I named this song.

This is the first song I wrote when I started my lofi project.

Sometimes you need music to listen to while you think your deep thoughts. Let this trumpet and a bowl of noodles keep you company.

extremely cringe early 2000s youth group-looking poster, gray background with aggressive black and white text of all different sizes (chaotic. terrible design). The header reads β€œDO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK GOD CAN’T USE YOU?” and it WAS followed by a list of Bible figures with their various β€œfaults.” I have very poorly photoshopped in some corrections. My version reads as follows:

NOAH INVENTED RAINBOWS (GAY)

FATHER ABRAHAM HAD SEVEN SONS

IF ISAAC CHOTINER CALLS, DO NOT PICK UP 

JACOB WRESTLED WITH AN ANGEL (ALSO GAY)

LEAH I HAVE NO BEEF WITH

I come from the birthplace of grunge, and this rain-showered lofi tune will help you keep it chill without any Seattle Freeze.

I tried to use a plugin so I could do more with the harmonica, but it wouldn’t load. I’ll keep trying!

I've got a ten-minute play being performed! It's a bloody horror story for the revue Love Sucks.

This is my second time contributing to a revue by @UnsubduedTheatr.

Most mornings I try to have a breakfast with lots of protein and maybe a vegetable, but it's my day off, so I'm just eating chocolate babka and black coffee.

The instant a professional organisation or convention uses β€œAI” is the moment it shows itself unworthy of prestige or member money.

It’s that simple.
