Sparkle here would like to encourage you all to rest more, if only by example (because asking directly would be too much)

Pulled the trigger on some reissues and a Casablanca comp w Cameo on one side and the long version of Flashlight on the other. OC I already have a copy of Funkentelechy but this one is new and came with the comic.

Went to Ape Caves this weekend and got comments on my Earth 2 shirt from two different people. The first was a dad with his young family who said he’d been listening to that lp earlier that very morning. The second was a ranger who encouraged us to play it inside the lava tube.

Saw this beaut stapled to a pole in Portland today

Orange fabric with aqua puff paint that says “listen to disabled folks.” There are also several sparkling gems on the fabric and the whole shebang is stapled to a pole.

Simmering tea in butter to make frosting for my birthday cake.

The elder spawn has completed another lap around the sun. This has been an especially tough year for him and I’m incredibly grateful to share the unspeakable horrors with him.

Picture of a birthday cake. A green frosting tentacled monster with too many eyes spreads across a bed of cherries and chocolate. The number “15” burns at its shoulder. Somewhere, the creak of the wheel of the year turning sounds its plaintive cry.

Two layers of chocolate cake with semi sweet chips and mini marshmallows baked in (the marshmallows toast real nice where they’re exposed). Cherry pie style filling in between and on top. Chocolate cream cheese frosting base layer topped with colored cream cheese frosting for decoration. Colored deco sugar and candy eyes for highlights.

Watch party happening on shift at WCA Rockwood this morn. Tuned in to the OR Senate live stream waiting for the final vote on HB 2143 bringing 5NP for laypeople to Oregon…

Our little void went into the big void tonight at sunset. He had a good life and a beautiful death surrounded by the people who loved him.

David D’Andrea makes such gorgeous things. Just got this release from SOMA that he designed the packaging for.

Contents of the package spread out. Many pretty printed things.

Really enjoying this new Jeff Mills joint that arrived on my front porch while I was out fruitlessly standing in line for record store day. My kid said it sounds like elevator music.

We just passed HB 2143 A in the Oregon legislature! 5NP for non-acupuncturists is coming to Oregon! Big ups to Rep Nosse for sponsoring the bill and speaking righteous truths on the floor, to my homies at POCA Tech, and the OAA for their contributions. Look at all that green!

Yesterday afternoon’s volunteer receptionist brought in a bouquet of flowering rosemary to the acupunk factory and the front desk smells amazing right now.

Finally truly finished building and tuning the RE-808 and got it all tucked into the case today. Overdriving the foot drum through the desk brings so much joy. #synthsky

Whitsitt@whitsitt· Mar 16

Finished. Always surprised and grateful when these things just work right off. Beautiful growl to this one.

Today’s neurodivergent joy: hyperfocusing on building a guitar pedal. SMD is intimidating but actually pretty easy with tweezers and a magnifying lamp. Pedal is Aion Artemis, clone of a clone of an Ampeg SVT bass amp.
