Your entry is so moving, and the end is so empowering and beautiful. I was especially struck by "this one curls up small and shuts up, waits for the world to leave (you have such a well-behaved kid!)" as well as the whole metaphor of carefully sewing up what was never truly lost. Just, wow.

Fun to see the first entry in yet another format, and excited to see where else your stuff goes. Definitely relate a lot to all of these musings & takes on skin.

new music doodle! come check it out. inspired by me stressing out over my assignment due date. i think one thing i'm happy about is that it sounds quite different from my other music doodles, but still carries a kind of 'signature' i have in my pieces. ☺

I've never heard the term "music doodle" before but it has in an instant rewritten the way I think about composing + made me even more compelled to get back into it

@ocrevol right?! thinking about music like i do with drawing in the form of 'doodling' has made it so much more fun to compose now that i don't feel obligated to make something 'complete'! it's a gamechanging term ☺

responded to the wrong piece - the bouncy one that I said was like walking along a bridge with your friends was the one at the top of the page, oops. "plea" is not that at all, but definitely does carry a note of familiarity - it's interesting. well-titled

I really like how "out of sync" the song feels, especially in the bassline. Really makes you feel that stressful tension!

I really enjoyed your take on cruelty. It is interesting how people with seemingly good intentions who care about justice and a better world for all can still be chomping at the bit for their turn to wield cruelty in a way that feels justified, toward those who deserve it as you aptly put it. This odd presupposition that cruelty by default has a place in an ideal world. I'm not sure quite what to make of that yet!

Apparently the new theme selection is broken on everything but Firefox on desktop. Troubleshooting that now.

Ah, and here I thought it was just my cache. Looking forward to poking around on Firefox when I'm home from work, then!

The way the images look in nerd mode is *slick*! Very fun, fixed on Edge (I should stop checking neocities on my work computer)

Thank you! It took a while to figure out the right combination of filters to make images green like that- thanks to https://codepen.io/sosuke/pen/Pjoqqp, but I still had to tweak from that starting point.

Really enjoyed reading your piece for the muse ariadne club preshow. Poetry IS about showing your face without showing your face, you're so right for that. Love Messy Sand & Two Dogs, especially with the photo.

Okay, wow, gonna need to find time to go through the backlog of your essays. For now, I love the observation that the theory and practice of writing are basically touching. And the idea of gleeful misinterpretation of the masters being beautiful as long as it's meaningful to you in the moment. I relate a lot to your 2023 letter, too, especially the bits about fearing rigidity at the heart of organizational systems.

May we all get weirder and more sharply ourselves in 2024.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for my late reply! I feel like my whole experience engaging in art and literature has consisted of nothing but misinterpretation. This isn't exactly gleeful, as I'd like to eventually at least be aware of what others consider to be the "correct" interpretations. It's hard for me to avoid misinterpretation though, so I'm resigned to embracing it.

Catching up on poems after being busy for a while. "Open" is *such* a good encapsulation of that feeling, and I love the sounds in it. Very clattery poem. Very stiff. Wondering if final notes on a symphony is TMA-inspired or if it's just in the air these days. Enjoying seeing all the enthused pen-talk, too, as an outsider. :p

As much as I love TMA, that wasn't inspired by it. :P I just wanted to write about music and went feeling about for interesting comparisons.

Love the little play on your splash page. There's something so earnest and seasoned about the way you combine pictures and text, in the site and the zines. Fun to read about the motivations behind muse ariadne. Seeing a lot of loneliness & communion themes, bridging gaps, in the writings about writing. Also, LOVE your poems.

Hey! Love your site and the cozy clutter. It's so joyful to see you having fun with it. If you still wanna do the cursor stuff, the CSS you want (on the html tag) is something like html { cursor: url("whatever.png") 0 0, auto; padding: 0; margin-bottom: 0; }
