The Butterfly House is a warm, poetic space for stories, moon writings, women’s perspectives, sensual spirituality, and the tender, transformativ...

I wrote a ghazal. It's an ancient form of poetry where there is a repeating word among some other traits. I wrote this in response to bringing back the department of war.

I attended the only U.S. performance of The Bloody Sonnets. It ran for just one night in NYC. An amazing performance of poems by a Slovak poet from WWI. It was contemporary and classic. Read my review including scans of brochures and playing cards on my substack.

How I imagine @micahcmiracle on the radio :)

There still exist an independent internet where you can publish what you want. It's called having your own website. This is one of the best. A guy talking about independent music. I feel like @micahcmiracle would dig this article especially.

CALL FOR QUESTIONS! I will be speaking at dark prague in a month about modern analog security tools (from cassettes to PUFs). I will be bringing issue 2.9 with me, if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover, reply to this note! Side A will be my talk but Side B I'd like to fill it with community questions or topics. I think you'll know what I do now but questions on electronics, hardware hacking, or non technical ones are fair game. Also, I made a new submission site so if you ever want to submit some audio to the zine you can now go to submit.bitpunk.fm.

JCards and tapes are done! I will be in NYC this weekend to see the U.S. premier of the Bloody Sonnets. The only showing in the US. I anticipate I will be coming back empty handed so if you want one let me know to save one for you. I will take them and I need to make room for some record stores in NYC.

The Dream Hotel was the best book I've read published in 2025. I've been recommending it to everybody. If you want a non-spoiler review of it go to bitpunk.fm and press ▶️ on the tape deck emulator. It's the first 10 minutes where I compare it with The Every.

What was it like to make a podcast without using a computer? I go into it some more in this article.
