A long-time collaborator said I had really turned a corner recently, another friend asked if I'd been studying music theory, and members of the Disquiet Junto community have been incredibly kind and supportive with feedback. Y'all, this is what it's about. Let's make more art. #music #musodon #TheFutureIsSoft #disquietjunto npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…5d9g I have a 2016 iMac Pro that I would love to rehome.

"Queer(ing) Epistemology through Intersectional Data Science: Relational Knowledge and Affective Queries with TMI-WEB", co-authored with Dr Jess Parris Westbrook, was accepted by the Design Research Society!

Is this a path to more data autonomy? This could be something for FOSS institutions to get behind as a practical contribution to the field. We don't need better definitions, we need that freedom you've been talking about all these years. #ai #opensource #ethicalsource npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke I got the nicest comment on one of my tracks today! "These are fascinating sounds. Like some newly constructed instruments playing together in a cavern. Menacing and soothing at the same time. Wonderful track, I had to listen several times…” Play counts and likes and so on mean nothing next to a personal message from someone who listened to your stuff and liked it. I'll be floating on this all day. #music #musodon npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke Wow, there's a new And Also the Trees album? npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…3eqn Think of it as sympathetic magic maybe :) npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…6ay4 I get a lot more traction on Sound Cloud, but I post there at least weekly, and I take part in a community prompt project too.

No, not the New Age kind. I reached for an acoustic guitar and recorded this. As you listen: every sound you here is from the vibrations of a single instrument.

I dunno, seems a little short-sighted. Who needs the AGI apocalypse when we have capitalism? npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke I want to push back on the notion that code review is, or ever was, what software developers are best at. In fact we kinda suck at it at the individual level, which is why we have FOSS. npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…7rqs @nprofile…7duz Thank you for sharing this conversation!

Thus Delany’s subtitle, "An Ambiguous Heterotopia”.

It's a great community and I’ll be happy to see you there. <3 npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke The final Disquiet Junto prompt of the year, every year, is an invitation to do a 12-month retrospective. The world may have gone to hell in 2025, but I made an awful lot of music. https://soundcloud.com/coralineada/22-hits-by-original-artists #disquietjunto #disquiet0730 npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…jqhj These are my very favorite cookies of all time.

Hopefully I'll have something left for rehearsal tomorrow... npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…hd0x I like your hashtag posts like these. I like your style. <3 npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke My birthday dinner was a success! I hope this photographed okay, it tasted great. Homemade slow cooker chili served over cornbread waffles. Thanks to @nprofile…feen for the waffle inspiration! https://cdn.masto.host/rubysocial/media_attachments/files/115/738/714/376/688/042/original/b9b903147ed41cc9.jpeg npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…feen 2nd batch was pretty good, 2 of them were a little small (not enough batter) and the 3rd batch was pretty much perfect. I’ll report back once we eat them! :) npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…feen Nonono, I did a test run yesterday for this very reason! I bought extra ingredients as a contingency. I have all afternoon today to try again and get it right. All good! npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…feen This is happening. Also, when I was doing a test-run, I learned the hard way that my waffle iron is NOT non-stick... https://cdn.masto.host/rubysocial/media_attachments/files/115/736/480/500/135/940/original/113feb431b3ca1d3.jpeg npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke I've had very little time for making music this week! But tomorrow is a light day and the new Disquiet Junto prompt will have dropped, so hopefully I can get some studio time in. (I've hopefully got a fix for my control surface power problem too.) npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…mwnq Thank you :) npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…39ec I love the accent metaphor! That's a lovely framing. I just worry about sounding derivative or overly nostalgic, instead of saying those new words with an accent I'm proud of. Maybe this is just my own insecurity? npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke @nprofile…45fh Powerful stuff npub1zu9ash835sfa29xn0jp4sl9lwp2kt60fadxpnpa5nkwf62dfhufqj2qjqj Coraline Ada Ehmke I guess I could buy a power adapter for the CS12, that might fix the problem. Outlets are always a challenge but so are USB ports I guess.
