My primary goal is to host all of my creations here. I like to make music, write, and maybe I'll scan a drawing to upload. I have many ideas and the possibilites feel endless here. I feel like I just moved out of my parents' house. I have all this space and I can do anything. This site is an everlasting work in progress, so check in every once in a while. This site in an exercise for me, and an invitation to you, to s l o w d o w n.
"Age Verification" bills all over the world are quickly destroying the internet we know. Lawmakers say these ID checks and biometric scans protect children from explicit content. But that's just the problem, the US Kids Online Safety Act is not explicit. KOSA's vague terminology "content that is harmful to minors" will be used to justify censorship all over the internet by groups like Collective Shout, who will work to age-gate information about queer identities. The Heritage Foundation will lobby to block medically accurate information about suicide, sexuality, and reproductive health. If our gevernment can decide which information we can view anonymously, and what we need to "scan in" for, we are not free. Uploading government IDs and facial scans to access information on the internet is the complete normalization of surveillance and I will not comply. When YouTube asks me to verify my age to watch a news video, I need to say goodbye to the platform.
I have a lot of ideas, and I will try to keep them on the Musings page...unless I think it's really important.
