irl it looks like it’s made of marshmallows
It's actually kind of contentious within the apple union movement that they used the Machinists Union. Most store are talking with the Communication Workers of America, and the long long long term goal is for each store to organize under the same union so we can all eventually exist under the same one together.
First and foremost, Apple retail is capital R Retail. The product zone sells phones, the backstage team manages inventory, the genius bar team troubleshoots and repairs devices, and the creatives provide instruction on the devices. Many people I work with have been working Apple Retail for more than five years, several are at 10 years+ (I'm personally at three). 3. Retention at Apple is very high because the benefits we currently receive are insane. I work part time to accommodate for the creative endeavors I engage with. As a part time employee I get health, dental, and vision insurance. Not only that, my wife gets them too. Not only that, but you don't even have to be married for your domestic partner to receive benefits. The list of benefits goes on and on. Another benefit that results in retention are stocks. We have a ridiculously amazing employee stock purchase program. In my three part time years I have amassed $15k in Apple stock, including restricted stock units. I'm not leaving this gig anytime soon. 1. A lot more control over the work environment. Apple Retail (and corporate too) is a hierarchical structure, and you have to go waaaaay up the Apple tree to affect change. In our store there are several immunocompromised folks. As retail employees, and even our store leader, had no say in the relaxation of Covid policies as they were handed down from corporate. More control in that sense is one thing we're looking for. Additionally, I'm hoping we can codify the four day work week, just as unions previously instilled the eight hour workday. I don't experience burnout because I work part time. I know my coworkers would be happier if they could also work part time and still receive full time pay and benefits. A lot of what we're looking to do is see how ideal of a gig we can make this, at the world's most profitable company. 2. I'm not sure I understand this question. Are you asking if I'd stay in the union if I ever left my store?
Great question! Also I very much appreciate your openness to state that you consume shrooms. I love magic mushrooms and really believe our modern American culture could undergo a lot of healing through the respectful ingestion of the fungus. As with most indigenous groups of the world, the Mayans had their own local variety of mushrooms they'd consume to travel elsewhere (intentionally leaving this wording vague). I'm no scientist, but from my robust personal experience with psychedelics, there do seem to be parallel experiences based on the substance consumed. For example with DMT, all of my experiences, and those I've facilitated for others, do involve the "elf" entities so many people describe as part of their experience. It would not surprise me in the slightest that your consumption of mushrooms would bring about the specific color and geometric combinations that would allude to the Mayan drawing styles (and probably also Aztec which is similar yet significantly different). Have you ever checked out the Mayan Codices? There are only four remaining today, but there were once thousands. insert cheeky comment about how the colonizers destroyed these documents in bonfires. This page gives the slightest bit of context of the four that remain. The page states they were drawn on pages made from fig trees. I have also seen that the leaves of the maguey plant were peeled into thin sheets, dried and turned in to paper. The dude in this video is quite a character, but you can see how he is able to create the paper from the maguey. Here's a link to where you can see the pages of the Dresden Codex. Your local university library may have a copy of the codices. There's a special collection here at the University of Missouri-Kansas City's library where I was able to view reproductions of the codices in their entirety. Hopefully this answers your question! I'll send you a message about the printsomething like chemically-induced geometric associations that drove that style of art
I'm interested in checking out this article, but it's locked behind a paywall.
thank you thank you thank you I used these tools:
Wooo please let me know your thoughts of a deeper listen, I’d love to hear your perspective. Yeah I’m actually playing most of the instruments, though there’s also a healthy amount of midi instrument manipulation going on.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! White Trapezoid was built around a recording of a public performence a friend in Mexico City sent me of him playing the hompax (Mayan trumpet) with a friend of his on mouth harp. It was fun to flow along with their grooves. Muahaha you know about the dialects! That's rad. My dad speaks Yucatec and that's the dialect Adolfo is speaking here. Thank you for the kind words about my art, I really appreciate it 🙏🏽 Embracing Change has already sold, so I'll have to check with the new owner to see if they're down to have me sell prints. If so I'll prolly do a run of 15 or so and def keep you posted.

I love the vibe of this track! I'm actually dealing with a bulging disc in my spine right now so playing an instrument is not really something I'd want to engage with right now.
thenewgreen would you want to try to create a collaborative song using this app as opposed to Soundcloud? I'm sure in the process we'd be able to find some feedback for fogg4444
That's actually relatively surprising, I've always imagined you have an infinite stock pile of guitar or piano tracks waiting to be added to I'll send you a message with a lil more information
I have friends who needed up going out to the desert, they say there were about 3k people out there. Though because there wasn't an infrastructure of any kind the situation was more challenging than it already inherently is. c_hawkthorne has been putting on a few video calls
also the more I listen to this, the more I feel it's a complete work you've done something real nice here
I would have to imagine then that you're familiar with Punch Brothers, the group Chris Thile started a while ago?
Thank you! It's pleasant to hear that a painting is so well composed so as to be mistaken for digital work.
lately I've been wildly into the intersection of Indian classical music and Western classical
I've noticed that the quality of my paintings significantly deteriorate when I'm drinking. I've also noticed that I was abusing marijuana when painting in that I was using it to keep myself awake much later than my body wanted to be awake. On August 30th I committed myself to one year without the devil's lettuce. I'll let you know how that goes.
Before taking psychedelics, I place my hands over the substance and send forth as much loving energy as I can muster. When the feeling is right, then I ingest. Recently I've started adding another aspect of the ritual. After ingesting, I sit in meditation until I feel the substance taking effect in my body. It's a very nice way of becoming aware of how my perception becomes altered.
Much love! This one is on a while other level.
elizabeth and JackTheBandit, I just learned I've got a few gigs: Wednesday, evening, Lady Sass Ship art car Thursday, 11pm, Center Camp Friday, 8pm, Marching Band March Off I'd love to see you at any of these :)
The Hubski Regional. We should hold it on the moon. Or one of Jupiter's moon. Definitely a moon though.
My first two years it cost me about 1100. That includes the ticket, gear, and cost of gas to get there and back from Kansas City. I have a tab going for this year, I'll post again after it's all said and done.
There is. I learned that's been around for about 5 years. However, I put my phone on airplane mode the whole week. I do preload music charts on my phone for the jams at the jazz cafe, but aside from that I don't use my phone. I bring a watch for time and disposable cameras for photos.
man I was just talking about the POC camp yester could I dual camp? I'm staying at The Dump (3:15 and Center Camp, already paid my dues) but I really feel a pull to spend a lot of time at the POC camp (I'm Latino, ¡brown n proud!)
very very cool! the idea of hanging at the POC camp is inducing a large smile also, just snagged the You Are Mighty! perk :)
my favorite musician in all of Kansas City
That one is even better, in my objective opinion
I'll have it on your desk by this weekend :)
