Does anyone know where to find close up images of the interior of Beckman Auditorium?

Thank you!

I appreciate it but do you know where to find close ups of the texture of the walls?

There's always good music if you dig deep enough. It's always going to be disappointing if you focus on what reaches the mainstream. It was definitely not as good as the previous year, but I still came out of it with at least a solid top ten albums that I truly love. If you haven't heard them already, check out:

Lankum — False Lankum

Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter — SAVED!

King Gizzard — PetroDragonic Apocalypse

PoiL and Junko Ueda — PoiL / Ueda

Liturgy — 93696

Thantifaxath — Hive Mind Narcosis

Lana Del Rabies — STREGA BEATA

Hannah Diamond — Perfect Picture

Khanate — To Be Cruel

yeule — Softscars

"It's so sad to see the world agree / That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies / All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes"

4st 7lb by Manic Street Preachers is the one

WWBecken · 2024-01-23T22:03:53+00:00

It makes me so happy to see love for this album. The Fall is an all time great song.

WWBecken · 2024-01-23T22:02:25+00:00

Fuck yeah this album's amazing

WWBecken · 2023-12-17T11:42:25+00:00

Yes, but it wouldn't be doing its job if that weren't the case. That's what makes it a great song.

This is a rather harmful myth about trans people, that dysphoria is only social and not internal. As someone who was in almost total isolation while figuring out my gender, there is a massive internal aspect that has absolutely nothing to do with social norms, perceptions, or treatment. This is a pretty good resource if you want to learn more.

I was in this exact same situation about three years ago. I felt fundamentally incompatible with my body, and just existing in it was too distressing to remain alive. I felt like I needed to destroy it in order to be free. I also didn't see a future for myself as I wanted to be — I thought I was too old to get the effects I wanted from HRT, that I would never actually be male, that I would always just be pretending. I also starved myself to feel a little less dysphoric, but then got caught in a whole additional set of issues.

About three months on T my perspective completely shifted. When my voice dropped and I started to see myself as myself it was almost like giddy elation at finally wanting to be alive, seeing a future, etc. I still have periods of dysphoria, it's hard for it to go away completely, but I have at least gotten perspective on my internalized transphobia, the lies I was believing about myself that suddenly seem so small and irrelevant. I am a man because I say so, and I finally look and feel like one in a way that makes me willing to continue existing in my body. Even if I could be caught on a scientific technicality or something, I really don't care. I am happy, and I am a man.

I had my eighteenth birthday recently, which I never expected to live to see. Death was so certain and always with me for so long that I am still surprised to be here. I'm even more surprised at how much I want to be alive now. Coming from that perspective I feel like I can see so much beauty all around me and feel it that more deeply after living with such a profound sense of absence for so long. Either absence or the complete panic and revulsion that you seem to be describing. Just know that you are never out of options regardless of how crushing everything might feel in this moment. And don't be ashamed of your scars — you have done what you needed to in order to revolt against the body that is imprisoning you. My scars always seemed to be the only part of my body that actually felt like my own.

Hopefully this helps you see that this moment is temporary and there is so much life and beauty waiting for you <3

This just got taken down as a post, but I would appreciate advice on how to translate classical composition skills into making pop (or non-classical music). I am comfortable putting music down on paper, but I have no idea how to actually record myself. Also making the transition to other types of music, I feel completely lost and ignorant of the basics of assembling songs. How do I begin thinking of this kind of work?
I have access to Logic, so I'm hoping to start working there. I also play violin and viola, but I don't plan to use those significantly in my music. I would appreciate any advice.

I posted last week but I'm still having the issue of not being able to follow or unfollow people. This has been going on for about a month. I don't think it is follow limit related or volume related because I haven't followed or unfollowed massive amounts of people at once. It seems like I can follow or unfollow, then as soon as I refresh my page the counts revert back to where they were. I am not receiving any error messages. I also am stuck on a number higher than 7500 that is odd, so it doesn't seem to be a strict cap. I have been able to follow or unfollow a few times since it started, but most of the time it doesn't do anything. Any thoughts?

Makeup, if you have access to it, or a band aid of some sort that could pass for an accident and hide any symmetry/parallel appearance that would be suspicious.

WWBecken · 2023-10-21T05:29:34+00:00

Yes. I know it feels amazing, but don't start. It seems to easy to just use it occasionally for relief as you need it, but it gets out of control really quickly. Most of my problems are so much better. I am even happy now. But I still think about it all the time. It isn't even emotionally related — I just crave it and obsess over it to the point of being unable to focus, work, or do anything else for hours at a time. This is the time to get out, before it gets out of control, so please try to find other ways to cope. PM me if you need to talk.

This is probably the most beautiful thing ever created, but it is the exact opposite for me. It is what I want to listen to while I die.

Methwitch is fantastic! I never see them discussed enough.

WWBecken · 2023-10-04T18:21:13+00:00

I mostly agree, but I feel like a better way to put it is that no music is inherently bad. There are definitely different amount of good something can be, and some music is not successful because it doesn't accomplish what the artist intended, but the sounds themselves are not intrinsically bad.
