A higher seat at the table of an unjust system, an illusory diversity among the ruling class, is not progress, it is a bribe!

Hello, I am Muirén (she, her)
A 67-year-old, obsessively curious technomagestorytellermusicianhackermaker — spiritual naturalistcooperative capitalist and advocate for prefigurative social & technological innovation.

Instead of continuing to pursue the false hope of finding other cooperative creatives who would see in me a reflection of their values and interests, I’ve chosen a solitary path, to redirect my energy in a demonstration project of exploration, learning, and creation through — science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math.

I still seek mutual aid, but will accept charitable donations for🧙🏾‍♀️TınyMaker.Space Project, the organizing, evangelizing force, and funding source for my goal of establishing a permanent home and makerspace that is self-supporting through its own efforts, primarily through sales of uniquely crafted, tangible fusions of art and tech, as well as otherworldly performing arts.

The future I propose is the acquisition of land and building of 🦉DomusVıtrea, a tiny home and tiny makerspace built inside a glass house. Selecting a mixed-use zoned location makes possible a live-learn-make space: 🛖Residence, 🪄Performing Arts Stage🎭, and 🧘🏾Zen Garden Café, a sanctuary from a cynical, violent world.

What the printing press did to English

RobWords with host Rob Watts

Plus, with the help of design master and font fanatic ‪@LinusBoman‬, I delve into the everyday terms we get from the world of printing.

Weapons of Mass Perception

Conservatives: Relentlessly promoted by the extractive Plutocrat class and their political and corporate proxies, conservatism is rooted in the lie that there exists an existential threat to the value and nurturing of families and communities. A myth is that there is a tidal wave of people, often characterized as non-white, who reject learning basic life skills, and reject an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay.

Centrists: The calm, rational middle ground is the Centrists deception, with the most charitable analysis being people for whom the system works. Consciously or not, their biases objectively align them with social regressives against the interests of those who know the system can’t work for them.

The Amazing Recording History of: “Here Comes The Sun”

You Can’t Unhear This
Here Comes The Sun has become one of the most popular and treasured Beatles songs, a gateway into their music for many new fans. This 3-minute gem of unforgettable songwriting is also packed with intriguing anomalies, production quirks and even a mystery.

Unlike the vast majority of Beatles songs, Here Comes the Sun was not written by the main songwriting duo of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but rather by George Harrison, the youngest member of the quartet, who contributed two memorable pieces to the Abbey Road album – an endearing love song called Something, and the effervescent Here Comes the Sun.
