"silly" is a word I use a lot. it’s one of my favourite English words, one I miss when speaking other languages. it's a thing I like being, it's a thing I like seeing, and it's a way to describe this thing that is not ableist or based on white pseudoscience like "intelligence".

even historically, unlike most related terms, it's not a slur against disabled or neurodiv people. it comes from 'happy, blissful; kind, good'. Proto-Germanic *sēliz. (ugla I know you’re reading this, it’s sæll/säll).

it is cousin to 'console' and 'solace'.

it is the name of the Seelie.

The first band to do a live-streamed performance was The Hub in 1987! (!!!) They were computer hobbyists around the Mills College music scene and are extremely influential for laptop bands and telematic music now.

A writer a ZKM is writing a book about them and their scores, which I'm very excited about. She's just put up a video here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/COfF7i_FU_L/?igshid=1isivbrhpgaj

The Hub and the band they came from The League of Automatic Music Composers were wild experimenters doing weird stuff.

Today, the same department is still doing wild experimentation coming up with the music technologies that we'll all be using in 30 years time. And 30 years from now, I want their to be students and community members inventing wild stuff then too.

So I need your help to make that happen. If you want to do just do a little, you can boost this post. Thank you!
If you want to do a bit more you can (pretty please) sign this petition I keep going on about: https://www.change.org/p/president-hillman-the-mills-college-music-department-and-center-for-contemporary-music-must-be-protected

V Corva's kickstarter for their book "Non-Player Character: A Cosy Queer Portal Fantasy Novel" has climbed over 400% funded and there are still 4 hours left to support it!

Can we get above 320 supporters? We're currently at 304 - and I say "we" as one of those 304 peeps. I really look forward to reading this book, because their last book, "Books and Bone" was a joy to read!

Alternatives To Legs

We're not talking about the KFC secret blend of herbs here, these are millions of people's lives, physical and mental health, and livelihoods that are needlessly being put on the line through the most wanky capitalist gatekeeping and nationalism.
