Avant Music News has been on Mastodon for almost 2 years now. We provide links to music news, reviews, and announcements on other sites, as well as publishing a dozen or so original album reviews per month.

We still do not have the following we had before dropping off the legacy (i.e., toxic) social media platforms. So if you are inclined, a boost or follow would be appreciated to expand our reach to other interested parties.

Thanks!

Alas, poor Yorick, raku-fired and bright,
A skull burned in flames, now gleaming white.
Once jester’s joy, now clay and ash,
Frozen in silence, no jest, no flash.

In kiln’s hot breath, you took your form,
A relic of jest, now calm and warm.
Though death has claimed your mirthful grin,
Your hollow cracks draws all within.

J-Novel Club Announces New 'Knight' BL Imprint

When I was putting together my "Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths" manuscript, I was constantly told that it is not a sellable concept for a book - because "people want to read their favorite myths", and not unkown ones.

Now the reviews are trickling in, and every reviewer highlights how exciting it is to find unknown myths about the well-known gods and heroes.

🤷‍♀️

(Still looking for an English language publisher, btw.)

This is why I have been trying to warn about BlueSky.

BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:

https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

Their new board member is a bitcoin researcher who promotes NFTs.

BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says that the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".

American cemeteries are a paradox: Calm and comforting, but also disquieting, even spooky places. Their value is similarly mixed for wildlife. In some cities, they are the largest green spaces, and refuges for both common and endangered species. But the way we've buried our dead for the last century makes them a source of potentially dangerous pollution too.

My first piece for Sierra magazine looks at the complicated ecology of the American cemetery:

(Those strange things in their palms are the souls of the dead.)

back in 2019, made a "cancelled resources" page for (kink)-artists and friends undergoing harassment campaigns for their art. re-linking here in case if it's useful; some of the info is more twitter-based but applicable still. www.kradeelav.com/cancelled-re...

デフォルメ判定ってどの辺だろ？ #私の命を助けると思って皆さんデフォルメ絵載せてください

I wasn't super inspired by this prompt, so I ended up a not very interesting interpretation. I do think it turned out pretty nice tho, I love these colors!
