#since its currently experiencing a renaissance

[voidcatdoll]

One thing from genderqueerdykes recent transmisogynistic screed thats stuck in my mind is the insistence that trans women exhibit toxic masculinity by interrupting people, cause like. The main way that men talking over women manifests isn't men interrupting women (they do that a lot too, but its a lesser contributor). What happens when a man wants signifies he has something to say? Everyone shuts up and listens. What happens when a woman does it? Everyone carries on as if nothing happened.

So what are you to do if you aren't content with simply not speaking, and waiting until social decorum decides it is your turn doesn't work, because your turn is never? You make it impossible to ignore you, social decorum be damned. You interrupt people, you are aggressive and confrontational about getting a word in because its the only way you'll get one in at all.

Feminists got framed as aggressive bitches so often because they correctly determined that your options as a woman are to either not be heard, or to be heard and called an aggressive bitch for it, and they chose the latter. How insidious is it to reframe that feminist practice of demanding your voice be heard irrespective of social decorum as a signifier that trans women exhibit toxic masculinity, are man-like, to weaponize both dysphoria and the language of feminism to shut down transfeminists.

Sparkstember Day 26: A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip (Pacific Standard Time)

My feelings about A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip are as follows: 💖💙💞💛🖤💖💙💞💕. Yeah that sums it up. But ok, for real now. I have a long and personal history with this album, which... no, I don't actually have a long history with it, so maybe that only makes its personal significance to me even more amazing in nature. Got it as a christmas gift last year, been listening to it and enjoying it and occasionally crying to it and experiencing other beautiful emotions with it ever since. It's the kind of thing where I feel like a part of my very *soul* lies there, you know, right from the start.

How do I put it without sounding too dramatic. Well, it's probably the most comforting album for me that I can think of. It's in the music, but also in how Sparks themselves have this sort of presence of a spark of light in the dark for me currently, which I'm sure is something that many other people can relate to. It reminds me of how time will pass and things will change but you can always find something beautiful in midst of it all that can be your new home. And it TRULY feels exactly like this: I can just put this album on or even just think about doing that, and I'm immediately filled with warm fuzzy feelings and everything seems not quite as dark as it just seemed moments ago.

There's something deeply personal and resonating about ASDDD that I can't find on even any other Sparks album. And a big part of it is... drumroll... the lyrics (because I suppose I don't pay QUITE as much attention to those most of the time). This has got to be my favourite Sparks album in that aspect, definitely. I love how there's lots about being an artist, about achieving something, about feelings of inadequacy, fear, and about meaning and purpose too... And maybe less "strange" subjects than usual but still, the trademark Sparks humour never leaves and the more heartfelt elements of their work can shine even more!

I also think that this album is really just fantastic in every way, and has so many instant classics that feel like they've been with us forever rather than for only about 4 years. And something else that I nearly forgot, because I think this very special and cool thing about ASDDD especially is how it mixes synths and electronic, spacey sounds with acoustic guitar, and a more earthy sound, so to speak... and it's honestly just so perfect to me, how well it works here.

Another thing that occurred to me this morning when I was listening to Hippopotamus (and trying not to cry lol, been really feeling all the feelings of appreciation and love that I have for Sparks over these past couple of days), is how there's something so special and inimitable about Sparks in this era especially. I love their 00s renaissance era for all its artistry and brilliance and how it's them reinventing themselves completely all over again... But this - these last couple of years, is where the HEART of it all really shows I think. I just get this overwhelming feeling that they're doing exactly what they want to be doing, the way they want to do it, and they're having so much fun with it too. It's so clear not just in the music itself, but their live shows, and everything else... And what can I say, thinking about it this way leaves me all :'))))

No point in counting off almost all of the songs and only leaving out a couple, when they're all so great and either among my top favourites or on their way of joining those ranks, so I'm just going to go over a few of them now... What I could call my Top 3 probably.

All That

I mean. .. This song is so cool because it has such a closer feeling (and appropriately enough that's what it's used as during live shows) but it's still an opener of the whole album and, yes, it works. I guess it really tells you all you need to know about what else is to come right away. Fun fact: this is both my parents' favourite Sparks song, and yeah I got this album as a gift from my dad actually, and he says that this song sounds like it came right from the 80s and is this whole beloved classic song. Makes sense why it'd be their favourite then! And truly speaks in favour of how Sparks are just making modern classics like it's nothing. Besides that... this songs is truly All That and more. I don't know man! I started writing about every song on this album a couple months ago and then forgot about it so it's only half finished, and All That is one of those songs that I only managed to come up with maybe one sentence for at that time. It's a lot! And it's so utterly beautiful!

Pacific Standard Time

As I've said before, I don't really like making definitive statements like these most of the time, but if I REALLY had to pick just one... Sure, this might be my #1 favourite Sparks song (and #1 favourite song overall honestly, if we follow that route??). That whole effect of "everything's ok when I listen to this" - yep, this is where it reaches its peak. Most comforting song ever, no competition (maybeeee All That could come kind of close, but that one makes me cry too much to be truly comforting actually, haha)

Self-Effacing

Love the lyrics, love the whole thing, the acoustic guitar plus the organ work so well together. This song has both the energy and the hopeful spirit that makes me very happy, and it never fully left my mind ever since I first heard it

2020s Industrial/EBM & Friends

Hi all! I decided to go ahead and make a Spotify playlist of current artists in the industrial/EBM [and adjacent] scene. I am very tired of stumbling onto countless threads of people saying that industrial music is "dead." It is in fact currently experiencing an incredible booming renaissance! So here is a place where one could hopefully get started.

The requirements for this playlist are simply

Must be within the industrial/EBM scene or close enough to count by my own standards. Trying to avoid anything too far off, so keeping "sibling" genres to a minimum (for example, darkwave or aggrotech), but obviously the genre has evolved very much over the decades and there is still plenty of fusion and diversity in sound!

Must have released new music since 2020 or onwards. This playlist is a combination of older artists who are continuing to release new music (such as PIG and IAMX) as well as brand new artists who have just begun their career with debut EPs (such as Normal Bias and FUEDAL). The only requirement is making new music from 2020 to present; this isn't about new bands per se, just currently active ones. I would like to keep updating this playlist as time goes on and more artists release new work, but that may end up being a time commitment larger than I can promise, so no guarantee on that. But hopefully!

One song per band. This is just to keep things consistent. I wanted to pick a song for each band that's either somewhat popular so as to give an idea of what they're doing that's catching people's attention, and/or a personal preference of my own that I think is cool and worth checking out, lol. Order doesn't matter at all, you can shuffle it as much as you like.

While artists from all backgrounds are featured and I want to make an active effort not to tokenize, I did try to include a wide range of diverse artists, with numerous artists of color, female artists, queer artists, neurodivergent artists, etc on this list.

A few other preemptive Q&As:

"[x] band I like isn't on here!"

I am absolutely, 100% confident I have missed more bands than I can even fathom, this is a massive genre and this playlist is in no way whatsoever meant to be comprehensive. I definitely want this playlist to continue to evolve over time. I also admittedly may have not included a band because I just don't really personally care for them enough, or because I didn't feel like they quite fit the sound I was thinking of here. Feel free to send me an ask if you feel like I'm missing something important, and even if I'm not huge on a band, if it seems like they're high in demand I might add them for posterity, lol.

"[x] band isn't real industrial"

Again, this genre has evolved massively since its formation in the 70s. We all know that. I don't really care about splitting hairs too much when it comes to genres; I'm basing this on the scene as it's currently evolved, the community surrounding it (including who these bands play with and the festivals booking them), the cited inspirations and self identification of the bands themselves, and if I personally would be able to sleep at night if I called them industrial in casual conversation, LMAO. I also consider fusion genres a very important part of the life and evolution of a genre, so industrial hip hop, industrial metal, and the likes all make some appearances.

"Spotify sucks"

Yeah. Agreed entirely, cannot argue with you there. But this is the easiest avenue I know of to make a decent, accessible playlist for a wide variety of listeners. Please do check out these artists offsite, follow them on Bandcamp or their other social media sites, buy their music and merch, etc. Unfortunately this also means that many artists who are not on Spotify aren't featured here, which sucks, since there are some absolutely amazing industrial bands coming out of Bandcamp right now who deserve recognition. Here is a link to the "industrial" tag on Bandcamp if you want to dive deeper.

Hopefully at least a few people can get something out of this!!

Eras of a Franchise:

The Origins Era (1923 - 1942)

The studio is founded and creates theatrical shorts (series like Alice Comedies, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and Mickey Mouse) until pioneering the fully-animated theatrical movie.

Movies released in this era: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Pinocchio Fantasia Dumbo Bambi

The Wartime Era (1943 - 1949)

Funds are diverted to aiding the country during World War II, so the movies created during this era are just normal animated shorts packaged together to fill at least an hour runtime.

Movies released in this era: Saludos Amigos The Three Caballeros Make Mine Music Fun and Fancy Free Melody Time The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

The Rebound Era (1950 - 1969)

Traditional animated movies make a comeback, to varying degrees of financial success but all to high degrees of quality. The era ends shortly after Walt Disney's death in 1966.

Movies released in this era: Cinderella Alice in Wonderland Peter Pan Lady and the Tramp Sleeping Beauty 101 Dalmatians The Sword in the Stone The Jungle Book

The Declining Era (1970 - 1988)

Without Walt, the company's leadership becomes aimless, and Disney becomes pigeonholed as a frivolous studio that makes funny cartoon animal movies for children. After reaching a nadir in 1985, things gradually begin to shape up due to a skilled new leadership quadrate.

Movies released in this era: The Aristocats Robin Hood The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh The Rescuers The Fox and the Hound The Black Cauldron The Great Mouse Detective Oliver and Company

The Renaissance Era (1989 - 1999)

A decade in which Disney movies were arguably bigger than ever, being critical and/or box office smashes, and the majority of the movies being musicals. Tragically, the leadership quadrate was broken halfway through, which ultimately brought about the era's end.

Movies released in this era: The Little Mermaid The Rescuers Down Under Beauty and the Beast Aladdin The Nightmare Before Christmas* The Lion King Pocahontas The Hunchback of Notre Dame Hercules Mulan Tarzan

The Experimental Era (2000 - 2007/2008)

A time when Disney moved away from their musical formula and put out radically different films. Unfortunately, the studio was often undermined by corporate decisions, now almost exclusively managed by Michael Eisner, leading to the majority of these movies flopping.

Movies released in this era: Fantasia 2000 Dinosaur The Emperor's New Groove Atlantis the Lost Empire Lilo & Stitch Treasure Planet Brother Bear Home on the Range Chicken Little Meet the Robinsons

The Revival Era (2008/2009 - 2019)

With Eisner gone and his replacement Bob Iger bringing aboard Pixar's John Lasseter as the head of the studio, Disney begins putting out high-quality movies that are critically and/or financially successful at a regular pace, including its biggest hits ever Frozen and Frozen II.

Movies released in this era: Bolt** The Princess and the Frog Tangled Winnie the Pooh Wreck-It Ralph Frozen Big Hero 6 Zootopia Moana Ralph Breaks the Internet Frozen II

The Current Era (2020 - Present)

Disney is experiencing some....technical difficulties right now. Repair time unknown.

Movies released in this era: Raya and the Last Dragon Encanto Strange World Wish

*The Nightmare Before Christmas was put in development to be part of the Disney Animated Canon. However, studio leadership ultimately backed out of this plan and had it released via Touchstone Pictures instead since its stop-motion animation was deemed too different from the other movies' hand-drawn animation. Which is funny since otherwise it being a musical makes it fits more than The Rescuers Down Under, more of a Declining Era holdover, does.

**Debate persists whether Bolt should be considered the end of the Experimental Era or the start of the Revival Era, as while it was the first movie overseen by John Lasseter and was a critical and box office success, it also lacked the staying power within the company brand (sequels, spin-offs, merchandise, etc.) that The Princess and the Frog and onward did.

Art Gallery of New South Wales: A Cultural Treasure in the Heart of Sydney

The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) is one of Australia’s leading art museums, located in the cultural heart of Sydney, New South Wales.

A Brief History of the Art Gallery of New South Wales

The Art Gallery of New South Wales was officially established in 1871 with the goal of creating a public collection of art that would be accessible to the people of Sydney. The gallery was initially housed in a series of temporary spaces, but in 1897, a permanent home was established in The Domain, near the city center. The current neo-classical building, designed by architect Walter Liberty Vernon, was officially opened in 1909, and has since undergone several extensions and renovations to accommodate its growing collection.

Today, the gallery is part of the Art Gallery of New South Wales Trust, and it remains one of the leading cultural institutions in the country. Its collections span several centuries, offering a comprehensive survey of artistic traditions from Australia, Europe, and Asia.

Quilling, the intricate art of rolling, shaping, and gluing strips of paper to create decorative designs, has a rich historical background that spans centuries and continents. The term "quilling" is thought to originate from the use of bird feathers (quills) historically used to coil paper strips.

The art of quilling has been practiced since ancient times, with its exact origins somewhat ambiguous. Many sources point to ancient Egypt as a possible starting point, where techniques resembling quilling were used in filigree-like art. Over time, quilling evolved and gained popularity across various cultures.

During the Renaissance era in Europe, quilling gained prominence among nuns and monks. They would roll strips of paper, often gilded with gold from discarded book edges, to adorn religious items. This practice mimicked the expensive gold filigree work of the time and showcased the artistry and creativity of its practitioners.

In subsequent centuries, quilling became a popular pastime among affluent women in Europe. It transformed into a leisure activity where they decorated everyday items such as picture frames, baskets, and jewelry boxes with intricate quilled designs. This period marked a peak in quilling's popularity as an art form and a decorative technique.

In recent times, quilling has experienced a resurgence. It has become more accessible and affordable, appealing to a wide range of people across different ages and backgrounds. Modern quillers explore diverse designs and applications, creating everything from elaborate artworks to personalized greeting cards and decorative pieces.

Overall, quilling's journey through history reflects its enduring appeal and adaptability as an art form, from its ancient origins to its current revival as a beloved craft practiced worldwide.

Altcoins on the Horizon: Is Bitcoin's Market Dominance Opening the Door for a Rally?

In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, the spotlight is on Altcoins as Bitcoin's dominance faces uncertainty. JD, a respected crypto analyst, has recently unveiled crucial insights that could signify an approaching Altcoin Renaissance. By scrutinizing Bitcoin's dominance chart, JD identified a breakdown and subsequent retest of a rising wedge pattern, combined with bearish divergence on the two-week chart. These observations prompt speculation within the crypto community that, if Bitcoin's dominance continues its decline, an Altcoin Renaissance could reshape the digital assets market.

The comprehensive chart presented by JD traces a steady decline in Bitcoin's market share since its peak in 2017, suggesting a gradual takeover by altcoins. Technical patterns like rising wedges and bearish divergence further solidify this narrative, indicating potential weakness in Bitcoin demand as its price rises amid decreasing buying momentum indicators.

Examining the Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 62.36, reveals heightened market activity. Although not in overbought territory, its proximity suggests the potential for a pullback. JD introduces the concept of an "Altcoin Renaissance," marking periods where altcoins surpass Bitcoin in performance. This trend signifies investors' growing interest in exploring lesser-known cryptocurrencies, driven by the allure of higher returns.

Bitcoin's market share has historically experienced significant fluctuations, influencing investor sentiment and strategy. Therefore, understanding the observed technical patterns and the RSI level becomes essential for forecasting market trends. The anticipation of an altcoin rally reflects a broader trend of diversification within the cryptocurrency market. As investors broaden their horizons beyond Bitcoin, altcoins stand to benefit significantly, potentially heralding a transformative era where emerging cryptocurrencies challenge Bitcoin's dominance more assertively.

JD's meticulous technical analysis presents a compelling case for an imminent shift in the cryptocurrency market's dynamics. By intertwining historical context with current technical patterns, JD's insights suggest that an Altcoin Renaissance might be on the horizon, bringing about transformative changes in the digital assets landscape.

A Journey Through Time

Time, the ever-flowing river that carries us from one moment to the next, has fascinated humanity for centuries. What if we could navigate its currents, dipping into the past or hurtling towards the future? The concept of time travel has long captured our collective imagination, inspiring countless works of science fiction. While we have yet to build a functioning time machine, let's embark on a thrilling exploration of the hypothetical possibilities and philosophical implications of traveling through time. After reading the majority of books from Dr Michio Kaku (Michio Kaku is an American physicist, science communicator, futurologist) over the years it does lead to the main inspiration for this blog.

Theoretical Framework:

Time travel, as envisioned by physicists and scientists, often involves bending the fabric of spacetime. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity opened the door to such speculations, suggesting that gravity could influence the passage of time. Wormholes, black holes, and cosmic strings have all been proposed as potential conduits for temporal voyages. While these concepts remain firmly in the realm of theoretical physics, they ignite our curiosity and challenge our understanding of the universe.

The Past Beckons:

Imagine strolling through the bustling streets of ancient Rome, witnessing the construction of the pyramids, or experiencing the Renaissance firsthand. The allure of visiting historical epochs is undeniable, allowing us to witness pivotal moments, meet historical figures, and gain a deeper understanding of our cultural heritage. However, the prospect of altering the past raises profound ethical questions — do we observe quietly or intervene to shape a different future?

The Butterfly Effect:

In chaos theory, the "butterfly effect" posits that a small change in one part of a system can have far-reaching consequences. Applying this concept to time travel, even the slightest interference in the past could lead to unforeseen and potentially catastrophic outcomes in the present and future. This raises questions about the responsibility and consequences of our actions across time.

The Uncertainty of the Future: Venturing into the future holds its own set of enigmas. Will we find a utopian society or a dystopian nightmare? The uncertainties of what lies ahead raise philosophical questions about determinism versus free will. If we can glimpse our future, can we alter its course, or is our fate predestined?

Temporal Paradoxes:

Time travel often comes with its fair share of paradoxes, such as the famous grandfather paradox. If you were to travel back in time and inadvertently prevent your grandparents from meeting, would you cease to exist? These paradoxes challenge our understanding of causality and create fascinating intellectual puzzles.

While time travel remains a tantalising concept that captivates our imaginations, it also serves as a rich source of philosophical inquiry.

Whether exploring the past to understand our roots or peering into the future to contemplate our destiny, the notion of temporal travel raises profound questions about the nature of time, causality, and our place within the vast tapestry of existence.

Until science catches up with our dreams, we can continue to marvel at the mysteries of time and savour the adventures that unfold within the pages of science fiction. Ever since the days of 2006 when I watched the documentaries of Dr Michio Kaku. I have always been fascinated by the topic of time and I probably always will be.

Even though it has experienced times of doubt and criticism, many people all around the world still practice and study it.

                                Astrology: Is it a Science?

When it comes to whether or not astrology is a science, there is some controversy. Some people say that it is not a scientific discipline, while others disagree.

Astrology's assertions are unsupported by actual data from a scientific standpoint. To forecast human behaviour and the occurrence of natural occurrences, astrology looks at the position and motion of celestial bodies. Yet, there is no proof that these positions and motions have any effect on the people or things that happen on Earth. The procedures utilized in astrology, such as chart interpretation and forecasting techniques, are not founded on scientific theories and are not put to scientific scrutiny.

On the other hand, astrology has supporters who claim that it is a science based on observation and information from the past. They contend that astrology can shed light on both human behaviour and natural occurrences while also serving as a means of comprehending the interconnection of the cosmos.

                            How does Astrology Operate?

Vedic Astrology is something most people have heard about. But are you aware that it isn't based on Western science? That is the current nomenclature for Hindu astrology.

In 1500–2000 BCE, sages in ancient India created the Vedic astrology system and recorded it in the Vedic books. This is how Vedic astrology makes predictions for those who were born under a particular zodiac or Nakshatra. Now that you are aware of what Vedic astrology is, let's explore how it operates:

Astrology is an ancient science that uses the motion of celestial bodies to forecast the future. In a word, Vedic astrology readings are built upon astronomy. Astrologers must be familiar with the exact positions of the planets with the fixed stars at any given time, as well as the zodiacal fixed star signs that apply to any location on Earth at that time. With this information, astrologers make a chart for a particular person, which helps them predict several aspects of their life.

Based on the moment of your birth and the locations of the stars in your zodiac, astrologers produce a birth chart for you to ascertain the compatibility of the Vedic astrology signs.  

But, Vedic astrology is used to understand oneself and one's karma chakra. According to Vedic astrology, everything is connected. Every aspect of life is infused with an energy that interacts with other entities and frequently has an effect.

The cosmic scheme controls your karma and destiny. Hindu astrology holds that your soul is everlasting and that it takes on different human bodies throughout history.

Your life is a reflection of the greater whole that are you. Simply expressed, Vedic astrology holds that your soul's karma and the position of the stars and planets at the time of your birth determine the course of your life and your wealth.

Several astrologers can explain your past-life karma to explain why the current-life incident occurred. Your Janampatri serves as a manual to help you understand how each stage of your life will be impacted by your Graha Dasha.

Vedic Methods 

Scientific Methods.

                                Types of Astrology

Although there are several varieties of astrology, they can be divided into two main groups:

                               Vedic and Western astrology.

The roots of Western astrology can be found in Babylonian and Greek antiquity. Its foundation is the idea that human destiny is influenced by the constellations of the planets (as well as the sun).

The constellations of the planets and constellations that are thought to have an impact on human destiny are also the foundation of eastern astrology. Eastern astrology, on the other hand, is founded on Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu ideas.

The (12) twelve zodiacal constellations (or signs) of the zodiac, according to this system of astrology, are closely related to human destiny.

The elements air, earth, fire, and water are all connected to these signs. The natal chart, which is a diagram representing a person's birth information, including the person's birth time, location, and parents, is the foundation of Western astrology. The natal chart shows the solar sign's location, the moon's phase, and the moon's orbit angle.

In Conclusion

Astrology is not regarded as a scientific study in the same way that physics, chemistry, or biology are, despite its long history and widespread use. It does not test its claims using the scientific process, and it does not rely on empirical data to back up its statements. For More Details: Click Here

How Your Sun Sign Impacted by the Mars Retrograde

Aries

According to the famous astrologer in India, since you are currently attempting to avoid conflict and disagreements with others, you might discover that you are more passive than ever. In order to avoid any controversy, you might occasionally enter your dream state over the coming few months.

 Taurus

New projects promise to be financially successful. Though you might be holding out for stability. This might be because Mars is temporarily purging your assets and expenditures owing to its planetary moonwalk, which causes delays.

 Gemini

At this time, you could find it difficult to get tasks started and accomplished. Instead than attempting to do tasks quickly, work at your own pace. Keep in mind that perseverance wins the race. In the next weeks, be kind to yourself.

 Cancer

This is a time for introspection. You'll find yourself reflecting on your most fundamental needs and desires. You could feel the need to daydream and get away from the everyday. Dream all you want, just don't forget your daily obligations.

 Leo

Take a stand for yourself. Actually, let out your inner "roar" the Leo way. You have put in the effort to establish your worth. It's time to start receiving the respect and compensation you deserve.

Virgo

Your career sector of your astrological chart is ruled by Mars retrograde, which will cause you to reevaluate your professional goals. This might inspire you to support various humanitarian initiatives and lend a hand to others.

 Libra

According to the best astrologer in India, putting all of your eggs in one basket should stop. Spread out your hobbies, relationships, investments, and time. You may completely ensure that private concerns, such as your bank account or personal relationships, are protected by maintaining a broad viewpoint; in addition, doing so will grant you greater autonomy and freedom.

 Scorpio

Your finances are in trouble as old debts start to surface. Don't max out your credit cards and attempt to live within your means. During Mars' retrograde, sales are your friend.

 Sagittarius

When it comes to your romantic life, the past will always be there. Be ready to hear from an ex or to desire to get in touch with one. Numerous unresolved emotions could surface as a result of this. Consider whether you want to rekindle an old flame or begin a renaissance of your previous relationship before you contact out or answer.

 Capricorn

Your close relationships are experiencing power battles. Try to have open and honest dialogues to prevent disagreements from developing. To get the clarity and understanding you need to move forward in the partnership in a healthy way, be direct with the people you care about rather than playing games with them.

 Aquarius

You miss spending time with your friends because you haven't seen them in a while. You neglected to check in because you were too preoccupied with your own affairs. Be friendly and arrange an enjoyable get-together with them.

Pisces

Find balance in your life to prevent burnout on the physical and mental levels. Make sure you have the capacity for everything before taking on too many jobs and signing up for extra activities, according to the top astrologer in India. Make time for enjoyment no matter how busy you get.
