Those who refuse to remember history are condemned to repeat it. The same is true for those who refuse to bear witness. And for anyone not marginalised or vilified or brutalised through an accident of birth or dumb luck, this is just one more mod con. History is liberally smattered with violent uprising and bloody…
Before you know what kindness really is you must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a moment like salt in a weakened broth. What you held in your hand, what you counted and carefully saved, all this must go so you know how desolate the landscape can be between the regions of kindness. How…

This first broadcast announces eclipse season and sets the tone for the changing landscape at large. Tangents and pivots and gear switches aplenty will pepper the playing field, each of their individual notes calling to the song only your…
In the dark of the moon before eclipse season begins, the tide sits low. The air is thick with regret and heavy with longing. Irritation nips from dark corners, challenging you to move beyond discomfort to a graceful exit from old ways and long past days. Fire crackles in the hearth, flames calling for consumption…
Dark moon nonchaloir is upon us as prelude to eclipse season, formally heralded by the Gemini new moon at the late end of the week. With the sun’s move from the fixed earth of Taurus into the crackling fresh air of Gem hours ago, the vibe has shifted. Lifted. Twisted. The realm of the twins…
