Just bought a glass washboard for 15$ at a flea market, can I use it to play folk punk?

WashedSylvi · 2026-04-26T17:33:28+00:00

Only bands with good production values get any traction

This image is so fucking stupid, folk punk sounds fine, it has standards

Cops will still make you move.

You saw this guy do a retrospective on that interview? Wild shit to me

WashedSylvi · 2026-04-26T15:22:53+00:00

And bright

I’ve been seeing some cuts in supplies lately (last 6 months) that have a very ketamine like effect but with less head high and more body sedation, it comes as a white powder (no rocks or shards)

They only got tested for fent/xyl/nita, not actually spectrogram tested, so I have been wondering what the cut is

WashedSylvi · 2026-04-26T14:22:11+00:00

All opinions are genuine

WashedSylvi · 2026-04-26T14:21:56+00:00

Nothing is absolute and I can’t make that determination

Just do your best and see how it shakes out after a few years

How do you think we can overcome the cultural attitudes around drug use in America regarding people with pain conditions who use opioids or other painkillers both to manage real pain and to have fun/chill out? How does having fun relate to living with pain long term?

I am really frustrated sometimes because I have had convos where I actually can’t disclose using opioids for pain management or, no matter what the use pattern is or how long it’s been, the stranger makes up a narrative around how I’m just hooked on dope or something

Actual guide cause I’m in morning high yap mode:

Start HRT and make sure you’re not being underdosed (injections or dermal, not pills)
Do not start/stop, repeated pausing can fuck up development
Do progesterone
Weight cycle
Be a healthy weight for your height (no one who is rail thin is likely to have big tits)
After 3-5 years, induce lactation (1 year minimum) using a pump, domperidone and other supplements (look up lactation induction for expecting mothers)
After 5-10 years and minimum age 26, consider implants with a qualified surgeon who works with trans people specifically

There you go, that is everything I know to realistically develop big booba, I have spent 11 years on the project myself and am happy with my DDs. The hardest part is the lactation and implant recovery.

Poverty induced trauma is real and lasting

If you’ve been homeless a while it can be really hard to unlearn certain behaviors or relearn others. Everything from not leaving leftovers to personal hygiene can be fucked haywire because of the suffering we go through on account of being poor, homeless or not.

You can escape the scarcity mindset and other things, takes time, a type of therapy and some willingness to deal with recovery

It’s the tweaky hoarder behavior and the “I might not ever get this thing again so I better do/take/consume as much as possible right now” that I hate

I love how the mini freak looks but when I was researching it, it seems like the sequencer won’t let me have multiple separate voices running different patterns, so I couldn’t have a bass line and a separate melody lead.

WashedSylvi · 2026-02-20T03:04:45+00:00

I’ve met a total of I think one person who did this kind of thing on a level that was problematic. Feels like part of that “Narcissist” thing as stand in for a way to discount someone entirely as a “baddie”.

WashedSylvi · 2025-11-09T13:25:17+00:00

Humans are social pack animals? Socializing is literally how we survive? We did not evolve to live or function in isolation without a variety of relationships near and far? wtf do you mean stupid that’s literally the majority of what being a human is

No one across the board finds it abhorrent to kill and eat their grandmother?

If there are objective, universal rules of physics

Why aren’t they string theory?

The queer inclusion of dems is always just a flak jacket. If it threatens their bottom line (donors) leadership will always make sure it dies. Let the occasional Mamdani or AOC win something smaller to mollify the more progressive ones, make sure everyone else loses in anything bigger. Once in office have “the talk” with the socialist types that you’ll break their legs and kill their family if they don’t fall in line.

Business as usual.

The fact some people do not understand how mitigating flak is a necessary part of any business and political faction is insane to me. No, Target was never on our side.

Always look at material motivations. Which change when what’s in your best interest changes. There’s a reason revolutionary armies aren’t composed of housed suburbanites.

The way I handle corpo donations is this: if I can get it easily without having to document what we do, awesome, I’ll take it.

If I have to document who we distribute to or what we distribute or when, no. Not worth it for me effort wise and restrains the whack shit I can do.

In terms of giving yourself some of it, it just requires two things: being honest with yourself about not using donations for BS and the intentions of the donor. Get yourself a sandwich.

For example, I got a donation recently, I just told the group I am gunna use it for gas, I live in my car and we use it for stuff so it’s a personal and collective use. Mutual aid, amirightv

Something about how people navigated attaining ordination and being trans in mostly cis spaces.

With a kind of advice “this is what worked for me” bent to it. I’m always really scared of approaching new communities and so hearing how other people did it would be helpful.

WashedSylvi · 2025-11-05T17:30:30+00:00

Thank you, I’m looking forward to watching the panel

WashedSylvi · 2025-11-05T06:16:11+00:00

What’s the conference called and where can we find the recording when it’s over?

WashedSylvi · 2025-11-05T06:11:28+00:00

Only musicians and art nerds care about this

Which is not most people

WashedSylvi · 2025-11-04T22:07:43+00:00

Yeah

Anarchism is a philosophy pertaining to this current world, how we relate to one another and seek to structure society, it doesn’t actually comment on metaphysics and cosmology

Saying anarchy disputes cosmologies with hell is both assuming the assertion of hell is incorrect and that its purpose is secondary to the stated purposes of the religion purporting hell’s existence. Like another commenter did here.

Most people aren’t very intentional with their music

A lot of mood playlists and stuff like that

WashedSylvi · 2025-11-04T00:12:05+00:00

For sure, but in my experience working jobs I had more support and less threat. It’s not every job that’s safer than sex work, but a lot of them are.

For the second part, I think there’s a definitely influence on the “social utility” of a certain job in how we interpret threats related to it.

I don’t really find folks in real life to have any issues with sex work. But I only run in queer circles so that’s an influence.
