I’m not sure if it’s the design of this site, but it reminds me of the early days of the internet — when haters didn’t exist the way we know them now. Back then, the feeling was: “I have a friend on the other side of the world, someone I know nothing about… but a friend, still.”

I’ll go on someone’s page and see that they’re from somewhere on the other side of the world, or at the very least another state, and I’m filled with this excitement and amazement that we are able to know and share the things we love from all across the world. That was the big selling point I feel, of a connected world, when first imagining what the internet could provide for us.

i feel like people project (i am people) on here and will just go IN sometimes. but then a lot of the OGs on here will be like “well that’s not very nice and have you ever thought about it this way?” and then they kinda fade away. PI.FYI is not like meta or tt where their algos fuel the rage bait. it all just happens in chronological order except when u hit that random button. 😏 which i be doing and i also recommend. i also see ppl be like “okay maybe i was wrong and i didn’t mean it like that” which is nice 👍
what’s also really nice is that we can all just disagree on stuff that’s a little superficial and be cool with it #rare

I first heard Combat Baby from this very album in my late teens — it carried a weight of melancholy that pulled me in from the sadness itself. That urge to dance even when your heart is hanging by the last thread. I stumbled back into it this week.
Listening to it now, I recognize it as a defining reference in my own sound. The use of piano and other keys alongside raw, unprocessed synths puts all the weight on the harmony — a harmony that forces me to leave behind that old world underground. You won’t find it anymore.

“I am in the world, I am of the world, I act within the world. I am in myself, of myself, I act through myself. Separate and united all at once, a tiny cog in a cosmic machine, I collaborate, I receive and give, I absorb and distribute. My nakedness is total: no principle guides me, no law but nature’s.
If I say ‘I am,’ it is because, in the infinite multiplicity of beings and things, I have found my place — in the world and in myself; it is one and the same. I no longer need to search. I hold no image of myself. I am where I belong. Here, and everywhere, willingly bound.
I dwell in every speck of dust, every territory, every river’s path, every star, every part of my body. And how could I not respect the world, my bones and flesh? None of this matter is mine — it was lent to me, only for a fragment of time. And I revere it, for it is my temple, the temple where the unthinkable God resides. Spirit is matter, and matter is spirit. The universe is constantly birthing and bursting, and at its center, where I kneel, I am.
When I say ‘I am there,’ I mean ‘within that’ which sustains all life — the endless source of energy flowing through my mind, heart, and sex. Energies of sublime purity emerge from me, cleansing the world. I return fragrance to the air, sweetness to the river, fertility to the earth, and life to all oceans. There is no place in the cosmos where I am absent.
In every instant, I remain in the present. Neither past nor future binds me. No regrets, no plans. Constant, loyal to my place, I receive and I give. And when I say ‘I belong to the world and to myself,’ it means I give myself fully, uprooting even the darkest seed of judgment. I do not judge. I love, and I serve.
I do not separate, not even by a hair’s breadth. I belong — which means I venerate, I obey. That is why I am naked: naked like a tree, a bird, or a cloud. I am of my body, my flesh, and my blood. Being, I cannot abandon or be abandoned by myself. How could I not love what so lovingly possesses me?
As I give myself to the earth, I give myself to my flesh and bones. As I trust the oceans, I trust my blood. As I yield to the air, I yield to my skin. As I surrender to the stars, I surrender to my hair. And full of this love — love of a slave, radiant — I act upon the world and upon myself.
To act is to flow with the world: clearing obstacles, transmitting energy from beyond the stars. I enrich, I purify, I nourish, I understand, I cleanse. I act upon myself too: I open to all infinities, letting the breath of the gods pass through every pore of my blood. I allow all mysteries to pass through me. And in the center of my now-infinite womb, I receive — and birth — the totality of light.”

Brian Eno created these cards with Peter Schmidt as creative lifelines. The idea is to draw one at random whenever you’re feeling blocked, to help move the work forward.
I always remember to use them a bit late — but eventually, I do.
Here’s the link to the website where you can draw a random card and keep going.
