The Drummer — a rhythm shaman born from a supernova’s pulse, decoding percussion patterns hidden in the heartbeats of dying stars.
The Technician — a sonic architect from the void, wired...2025-07-251h 00

The beginning of this conversation was very frustrating. I wanted to talk about the pros and cons of having a monarchy and why we tolerate monarchies in this day and age. The conversation was derailed by two white women (Hotmama & Shannon) claiming Native Americans and Aborigines have it so good.

It is not always about being rational or having a process in place: being aware of our limits in what we are able to see and comprehend as possibilities is as important as planning.
