•—✧✷ Well, well, well, Upper East Shifters! The prodigal blogger has returned! Cue the applause, the confetti, and, of course, the eye rolls. Yes, my fellow shifters and followers, it's moi—Ivanka. I've been MIA for what feels like a century, and in the midst of my Instagram-worthy life drama, I've managed to gain a few followers. Not that they care, but hey, who needs a lame and basic introduction when you're living the chaotic dream?

Round of applause for my stellar disappearing act! Bravo, Ivanka. But enough about that. Let's dive into the grand reintroduction because, let's face it, you've been deprived. What can I say? Life's been a rollercoaster, with more twists and turns than a binge-(un)worthy season finale of Riverdale. But fear not, for the gossip and glam are back, and I'm about to spill the tea on yours truly. Ready or not, here comes the multidimensional Ivanka comeback!

.

✧ About me, Xoxo.

—✧✷ Greetings, cyber citizens! I'm your digital deity, Ivanka Beeyuh, reigning over the online realm. Real identity? Baby, that's a closely guarded secret. She/they pronouns are my melody, and proudly transcribing my existence as a fabulous transgender woman. Virgo vibes and INFP musings – at the ripe age of 19, I'm navigating the academic jungle with a major in Business Administration. Because, let's be real, who doesn't love a business-savvy queen?

Oh, and here's a little nugget of trivia to spice up the Ivanka saga—I'm rocking the Klinefelter Syndrome, making me a naturally sculpted divine doll. HRT process? A breeze, honey. Feeling blessed, and this goddess is ready to conquer the digital cosmos. Buckle up, buttercups! 🌟💻 #IvankaBeeyuh #OnlineRoyalty

—✧✷ Listen up, trendsetters and multiverse explorers! Ivanka Beeyuh, your guide through the virtual wonderland, is spilling the tea on her current obsessions. Since the mystical year of 2020, shifting has been my jam – and yes, girlies, I've successfully made the leap! Yay for alternate realities!

Now, let's talk beauty—natural vibes with a splash of bold Latina and Thai makeup, because who says you can't slay in multiple cultures? Embracing the magic of witchcraft, I'm your modern-day enchantress. Need some data entry wizardry? Count me in. And of course, strutting the cyber catwalk, because fashion is life.

But wait, there's more! Yours truly is also a subliminal sorcerer, crafting unseen spells for your subconscious. I've got a stash of creations waiting to dazzle, and when they hit the digital airwaves, you'll be the first to know. Stay tuned, my cyber comrades! 🌐💄🔮

—✧✷ Hold onto your broomsticks, spellbinders! Ivanka Beeyuh here, spilling the enchanted tea about my bewitching side. Yes, luvly, I'm not just interested in witchcraft—I am a full-fledged chaos-type witch, and I'm here to own it. No rulebook, no limitations—I dance to the rhythm of my own magical beat.

Quick disclaimer: I'm not your run-of-the-mill chaos magick witch. Let's get one thing straight – my craft is a constantly evolving masterpiece, not a cookie-cutter spell from the dusty pages of some ancient tome. Had to clear that up because, you know, some witches get their broomsticks in a twist when you mix "chaos magick" and "creating your own craft" in the same cauldron <3.

And now, a moment of worship for the Goddess of Keys and Witchcraft, the ultimate diva, Hekate. Bow down, beauties, for her cunty aura is the reason I'm a devoted follower. The slay is real, and so is my commitment to the mystical queen.

—✧✷ Picture this: the current earworms that have me spellbound include the hypnotic vibes of Melanie Martinez, the powerhouse notes of Ariana Grande, the offbeat allure of Ayesha Erotica, the soulful serenades by SZA, and the sultry sounds of Summer Walker.

Now, let me spill the real tea—I might not be the maestro of musical taste. In fact, I'm shamelessly riding the trend wave, and who can blame me? These beats are too good to resist.

.

.

•—✧✷ Alright, my curious companions, buckle up for a little rendezvous into the aesthetics of both my CR-self and DR-Self. If you're itching to unravel the layers of my vibe, swing by to the "Ivancore" page, or if you want more shifting teas, drive your Mercedes to "Ivanka's Shifting Teas" that you can access from the front page! 👀

And with that, my luvlies, behold the finale of my introduction—lovely, yet a tad messy. Here's to hoping that as you tread the path of my posts, you, my moots and followers, get to uncover the layers of Ivanka Beeyuh. For now, a temporary farewell, my luvlies. Buh-bye~

Xoxo, Ivanka. 💋🫧

Hastily Made, Very Lackidasical Body Count!

I just felt like counting up some numbers from stuff I've already read, cause I feel like for all of those memes where it's like 'what is each member of the batfam going to prison for' the answer is straight up all of them in for attempted or successful murder lmao not a single one of these birdies are innocent!

Stephanie Brown: 0 But not for lack of trying!

The Best Robin attempted to kill her dad, the Cluemaster. This was not spur of the moment either, she premeditated that shit and only Batman's influence (and threats) prevented her from going through with it!

Cassandra Cain: 1 but like, c'mon now, give her a break, she was only eight, we can't count that against her, and no court of law ever would either

Dick Grayson: 2 he is Very Sad about this

He's killed both Blockbuster and The Joker. To my knowledge, only one of those two ever got resuscitated!

Tim Drake: Uhhhhhhhhhhh Several. Like At Least Five. Also a Serious Attempt.

To be extremely conservative with our numbers we are going with just ONE ninja dead per base he blew up. Also worth noting: He very nearly goes through with an exceptionally premeditated murder scheme against Captain Boomerang. I'm legit not sure he wouldn't have done it if the other Bats weren't there.

Jason Todd: Maestro, please begin the benny hill music, cause we've got a count to roll through and it is loony toons long my ghouls!

Skipping dear Filipe's moldering corpse due to uncertainty, we start with Lost Days

Human Trafficking Truck Driver Ian, Egon, Steel Beam mercenary crew estimated at least five strong, three more of his teachers, eleven nameless russian mobsters, a cousin and a running buddy of a russian mobster: 23 people

Under the Red Hood

Eight heads in a duffel bag, four thugs with Freeze (Freezy boy does not die), Two confirmed on panel delivery man kills (Five-ten more suspected but we won't count em), Ten goons in the doorway when he swings the minigun on them as he and Onyx retreat, five more goons, Rocket launcher blast kills "most" of a security team with at least three members left so we'll call that three kills (far more deaths are implied), shoots a guy holding lit molotov catching him on fire, then kills Captain Nazi (yay), forces Black Mask to kill six of his men, and finally dear old Black Mask's PA is thrown through a window (his cycling class will miss him dearly): 41 people

That Time He Kidnapped Mia

Short and sweet, he just ices a pack of "brain donors": 5 people

Brothers in Blood

Two human traffickers, three more drug runner goons, two more goons later on: 7 people

Red Haired Foolishness Phase part one

Starting the running with two cops, lightning bug assassin, six mobstery big wigs, a guy, Flamingo: 11 people

Red Haired Foolishness Phase part two

Littleman Beaver's brother and his brother's fourteen goons, fifteen of his fellow inmates, then the grand poisoning of eighty-two people (well he poisoned more but we only get eighty-two confirmed as dead): 112 people

This is not even slightly a complete list, so consider this final number a lowball of:

One Hundred and Ninety-Nine people

as Jason's body count... at least pre-new52, don't ask me what's going on over there in modern canon, idk

All former Robins (that aren't from the future, a space starfish, not known to me personally, add more caveates as needed) have tried to kill someone at least once, but like, hot damn I'm pretty sure Jason is definitely still keeping his title as the murderous one of the bunch!

If someone knows more about Damian, I'd be happy to have his count added in, but like this is just a tumblr fun post and my ass needs to start cooking spaghetti, I don't got the time rn to start reading his stuff yet.

So I watched the new episodes of Doctor Who. First few general no spoilers notes, later few words more specifically.

I still can't quite say if I like the new Doctor and Ruby or not. I think they go together well but as for Fifteen and Ruby themselves... I don't know. Well, I definitely like the Doctor more than Ruby. I don't know how to say it the way to not sound out wrong, but despite the mysterious origins Ruby feels only... well, just another modern days girl joining the Doctor, who reminds of most of the NuWho companions. Yes, I guess there are big plans with her origins but it doesn't seem any possible (or impossible) reveal could change it, if you know what I mean. Two more general notes - I like new Tardis console room. I don't like new sonic screwdriver.

Now under the cut a bit more specifically to the two episodes ->

The Space babies (sorry not sure about the exact title) - that joke (I suppose it was meant like that) with stepping on the butterfly at the beginning was unnecessary and to me it seemed rather stupid. Anyway to the episode itself. Ngl, I'm not quite a baby-lover so watching all the babies wasn't quite enjoyable for me, the story itself was quite though to be honest I didn't quite get how they suddenly wanted to save the snot-monster and suddenly they weren't afraid of him but was happy he survived??? What did I miss? (yes I know there was the Doctor's thought about the monster being unique etc., but suddenly everyone thought so too and the monster wasn't acting scary but just stood there like a nice pet? Really guys, what did I miss?)

The Devil's Acord - I really enjoyed Maestro. And the story was good, though when I spotted The Beatles in the trailer I thought they might be more in the episode. (and yes, secretly hoped for pure historical of course. Well, somewhen next time maybe?). So yeah, good episode. Maybe except of that musical number at the end which was kind of... eh?

okay well given that it's almost 11pm i'm definitely not getting more work done today so. i'm gonna recap.

kind of a crummy day for most of the day cause i'm way burntout and stressed over pit and classwork shit. baroque oboe still being a pain in the ass to play in tune and i've had no luck making new reeds; maestro says he's gotten in touch with someone who can help, but i'm still waiting to hear details on that. maybe he'll bring them in sometime next week to lead a sectional. i could definitely use the help but at least we've determined at this point that, worse comes to worse, i can just ditch the baroque oboe for the performances and play the part on modern oboe transposed down a semitone. it's really not a bad transposition and i can at least play in tune that way. at some point i need to arrange rehearsals with my pianist and my trio for my recital but that's not happening until after serse is done with, i swear. i have a truly ridiculous amount of reading to do for honors sem on tuesday (both class assignments and research for my paper, the outline of which is due on tuesday) (i'm not even going to be In Class on tuesday cause that's our dress run for serse but i don't think i can get an extension really). i really tried to put a dent in those readings but i kept hitting walls and made very little progress. i looked over my application materials for the summer internship i'm applying to and had a Bit of a panic when i read that the eligibility requirements exclude graduated seniors enrolled in masters programs from applying...i emailed my academic/career advisor and he said i should apply anyway, that they usually mean you can't be actively taking classes and i don't start those til the fall. (gd i hope i'm not disqualified from applying. this internship is perfect for me and my interview went so well last semester.) i missed the stupid eboard meeting but whatever so did the club president. nothing that needed to happen in that meeting couldn't have been communicated in an email anyway. i got my eggplant sandwich for lunch which was nice (it's soo tasty) although it made my tummy hurt a bit i think i just ate too much. orchestra got cancelled for the evening so i could actually make it to choir rehearsal instead (no rest for the wicked). two sessions, the earlier was actually on oboe for the zelenka and then the later session was a tenor/bass sectional on the rest of our rep, with a break for dinner in between. the evening went okay. i don't do well mentally if i don't get 1. something productive done and 2. social interaction during my day.

more choir rehearsal tomorrow morning. then i'll be spending my whole afternoon doing homework. another sitz on sunday evening. i would love to take a break and watch an opera or musical w some friends and force reset my brain, lord knows i need it, but gd i just don't think i'll have the time.

The next party member after Kaoru!

Name: Mai Maiyumi Nicknames: "Cyclops"

"A girl with a passion for music, Mai is dedicated to becoming the best pianist of the modern day. She used to have a bad tendency of fighting, but she grew out of that. Now she has the eyepatch to prove that she was real rough and tumble back in her glory. She'd rather be in a concert hall than doing anything else though."

Arcana: The Moon Persona: Maestro

--- ok look, i do not do ears often. also hat!! i like hat!! (there is no hat here ignore me)

Hello Maestro! I wish to know your thoughts on modern music, such as pop, rock, etc. and also of your favourite modern music genre (should you have one). Thank you!

Good day my pupil.

My favourite genre is that which does not have a name yet.

Pop and classic rock as I've had the chance to encounter me do still hide pearls but they bore me as they are fundamentally repetitive for opposite reasons.

Popular, instead of the science necessary to engage and express, relies I think on mechanics and engineering so that the Artist seldom does express without needing to please - which is a necessity I am sure you know I argue against on the daily.

Rock instead relies too much on expression and not enough on expertise of the craft of Music. Music is Art and Artisanate at the same moment. Plus there isn't much harmonic work involved.

I like music that pushes forward and requires both heart and mind to be understood. Works of this caliber can be find in virtually every so-called genre. Perhaps what entertains me the most and what I would like to master were I born some a hundred-year later would be Jazz.

Vulcano. Red Studio Jordi Diaz Alamà, Granollers 1986,

Jordi Díaz Alamà, nacido en Granollers en 1986, es licenciado en Bellas Artes por la Universidad de Barcelona. Se perfeccionó estudiando arte clásico en escuelas internacionales, como la Academia de Arte de Florencia, donde adquirió conocimientos sobre las técnicas empleadas por los grandes artistas del siglo XIX. También tuvo el privilegio de formarse con maestros contemporáneos del realismo, como Guillermo Muñoz Vera, Odd Nerdrum y Antonio López. Aparte de su actividad artística personal, Alamà es también un consumado profesor que ha impartido clases en la Universitat de Belles Arts de Barcelona y fundó la Barcelona Academy of Art en 2013. A través de su enseñanza, se esfuerza por promover los métodos clásicos del arte como una valiosa herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación y representación de temas de hoy en día. La obra personal de Alamà muestra un impresionante abanico de técnicas pictóricas que mezclan el realismo clásico con la estética contemporánea, libre de cualquier manierismo estilístico. Sus series #ClásicosDesollados y Red Studio, que combinan la pintura realista al óleo con toques abstractos, son exploraciones rompedoras de la intersección entre el arte clásico y el moderno. Su proyecto expositivo Si Volse a Retro, creado en colaboración con el escultor polaco Grzegorz Gwiazda, reinterpreta la Divina Comedia de Dante Alighieri y pone de relieve el compromiso del pintor con la figuración contemporánea.

Alamà también ha trabajado en numerosos encargos, como la monumental obra La Creu del Jubileu para la Església dels Dolors de Vic. También fue seleccionado para retratar a la ganadora del Premio Cervantes 2022, Cristina Peri Rossi, y recientemente ha ilustrado portadas para varias novelas y álbumes musicales. Las obras de Alamà figuran en las colecciones permanentes del MEAM y del Museo Can Framis de Barcelona, así como en colecciones privadas de Europa, Estados Unidos y Australia.

Liner Notes (March 10th, 2024)

This week’s newsletter has some thoughts on the new Bleachers album and more of the regular newsletter things I always write about. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here. If you’d like this newsletter delivered to your inbox each week (it’s free and available to everyone), you can sign up here. A Few Things * My apologies, but I only noticed I referred to Daisy Grenade as Daisy Chain in last week’s emailed version of this newsletter. That’s one downside of email vs blogs – editing after they hit the inbox doesn’t work. I must have had the Slowly Slowly song on my mind. Anyway, the band is Daisy Grenade that is opening for Fall Out Boy/Jimmy Eat World; sorry about that. * I found this article about why product recommendations online are basically the same SEO spam garbage to track with my experience. Not to go full “grown man yells at clouds,” but, damn, do I miss websites that feel like websites. Now it’s social media or content spam, and very little in between. Seeing Kottke.org launch a redesign last week was a friendly reminder that there’s still an audience for these kinds of blogs. * I’ve sung the praises RayCast before, but this article this week about how you can combine it with other apps to let you do some quite powerful things on your Mac was the inspiration for me to spend some of my weekend tweaking a few scripts and little niceties. I finally moved all of my snippets into it and away from TextExpander. TextExpander has been one of my most used apps for over a decade, but the quality of the app has gone downhill over the past few years. I’ve found it flakey, and the app no longer feels Mac-like. I can replicate every snippet with RayCast and Keyboard Maestro, and this was a good time to audit everything and clear it all out. RayCast’s built-in system is quite good, and there were only a few I couldn’t duplicate exactly. For example, I have multiple expanders for things with ordinal numbers (like the title of this very newsletter). These were relatively easy to re-do in Keyboard Maestro. In Case You Missed It * Motion City Soundtrack Announce More Tour Dates * Ben Folds Announces New Tour * Saosin Working on Album With Cove * I Am the Avalanche Announce Tour * Stars Announce ‘Set Yourself on Fire’ Tour * Paramore Announces Record Store Day Release * NOFX – “I’m a Rat” Video * Albums in Stores – Mar 8th, 2024 Music Thoughts * One of the more significant releases this week is the new one from Bleachers. My first listen was after coming home from the gym; it was late at night, and the weather was dreary and rainy. I was doing a few “wind down the evening” things, making coffee for the next morning, tidying up around the house, and had this on in the background. It was a perfect introduction to this album. Now, four or five listens later, I … kinda think I love this? It’s a tactile album, one that has an immediate hook and stickiness to it, but it also has a depth that I think will reward multiple listens. It felt like the last album was Jack’s rebellion against people saying everything he touched sounded the same, and it was drenched in intentional auditory mud. This, in contrast, is arguably the best mix of modern production with a tangible authentic tone to the instruments I’ve heard in ages. Everything breaths and ebbs with a classic Jack Antonoff songwriting buzz, always right on the edge of energy, sitting tantalizingly between the best of indie and pop. Listening to something like “Me Before You” is aural candy. The album blends a little from tracks 8 through 10, but on the whole, this is a complete win for me. Also, this absolutely rules. * Cold Years released the new single “Choke” this week. It’s (probably, time will tell) my favorite song on the album. Basically, as perfect as a punk song in 2024 can be. This band continues to be the most underrated band in the world and I’ll keep screaming that to anyone who’ll listen. I’ve had a few weeks with the new album and am still formulating full… https://chorus.fm/news/liner-notes-march-10th-2024/

Best MIDI Keyboards

In the grand theater of music production, where the air pulsates with the magic of creation, there stands a silent sentinel, a bridge between realms - the MIDI keyboard. Not merely an instrument but a vessel, it whispers secrets of sound to those who dare to listen. It's here, in this nexus of innovation and tradition, that the MIDI keyboard emerges not just as a tool, but as a key to unlock the boundless universe of musical expression.

The MIDI keyboard, crowned with ebony and ivory, serves as the alchemist's stone for the modern maestro. With each gentle press, a note leaps into the ether, ripe with possibility. It’s a dance of digits upon keys, a ballet that breathes life into the sterile binary of the digital world, infusing it with the warmth of human touch. For the MIDI keyboard does not discriminate; it is a chameleon, capable of mimicking the voice of an ancient piano, the cry of a violin, or the thunderous roll of drums - all at the whim of its master.

In the hands of a visionary, it becomes a conduit for exploration, a spacecraft navigating the nebulae of sound. Each knob twist and fader slide charts a course through sonic galaxies yet unexplored. The MIDI keyboard doesn't just play music; it weaves tapestries of sound, painting auditory landscapes that stretch beyond the horizon of imagination.

Yet, the true marvel of the MIDI keyboard lies in its ability to democratize music making. Gone are the days when orchestras and expensive instruments were the gatekeepers of musical creation. Now, from the quiet of a bedroom studio, a symphony can spring forth, touching hearts and stirring souls across the globe.

Thus, the MIDI keyboard stands as a testament to human ingenuity, a beacon illuminating the path for future generations of music makers. In this age of digital wonder, it reminds us that at the intersection of technology and artistry, anything is possible - all you need is the key.

Keyboard's Domestic Majesty

In the ever-exciting, pulse-racing world of music technology, where every day feels like Christmas for gear enthusiasts, there sits the MIDI keyboard: a relic of sorcery often mistaken for a mere piano’s underachieving cousin. This magical plank of keys is the unsung hero of bedrooms and basements, transforming the caffeine-fueled musings of nocturnal creatures into what they assure us is the next big hit.

Ah, the MIDI keyboard, or as I like to call it, the "wannabe piano with an identity crisis." You see, it doesn't quite emit sound on its own, rather it whispers sweet nothings to a computer, urging it to make the sounds for it. How charmingly lazy, delegating the hard work while taking all the credit—a real team player in the digital age.

But let's not underestimate this modern-day muse. With a flick of a finger, it transforms the average Joe into a maestro, commanding entire orchestras with the nonchalance of ordering a latte. "I'd like a string quartet with my synth-wave, please, and hold the arpeggios." It offers an all-you-can-eat buffet of musical possibilities, fueling delusions of grandeur one preset at a time.

And let's talk about those knobs and sliders, shall we? Ah, the illusion of control. Twiddle a knob here, slide a fader there, and suddenly you're the captain of the S.S. Soundwave, navigating through the treacherous waters of mixing and production. Never mind that you're still in your pajamas and haven't seen sunlight in days—those beats won't produce themselves.

In conclusion, the MIDI keyboard stands as a beacon of hope for all those who dream big but prefer to stay in their comfort zone. It's the Swiss Army Knife of the music world: compact, multifunctional, and slightly intimidating to anyone who doesn't know how to use it. So here's to the MIDI keyboard, the unsung hero making bedroom producers feel like rock stars, one quantized note at a time.

The radio show #2

Alastor walked into his broadcasting room placing his cane to the side. tapping the side of a strange contraption that whirrs to life as sits down and taps his mic.

"HELLLLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN." His voice crackling across radios across pride and hopefully beyond.

"Welcome to the radio show. The only program not jam picked filled with advertisements, endless souless programs of boring bullshit no one cares about. Today we talk about the real stuff. The things that matter to you and the things that matter to me." He leans back in his chair a grin on his face.

"Today in the news reports lingering from the newly named "The quantum isle" what a neat name of what once known as the greed ring after the ascension of "Gier guld" THE SINNERS MACHINE." He presses a button on his console as a crackling hissing sound of gears and steam fills the air.

He lets out a chuckle. "Recent reports have delcared that since beginning purifcations of the once pure acidic and toxic lake has reached 25% purity rating. Gier guld stated in announcement that he hopes by the end of the year they will be seeing nearly 35% purity. Get out your paper boats and fishing lines because soon you'll actually have a lake in the isles to actually fish from."

"In other news imp city rejoices as recent overlord blitz maestro announces that this spring will hold a cultural festival seeking to not only reignite hellborn pride but to reignite its own culutral pride. We love a underdog story dont we all? I personally do."

Noone would know or notice the dripping in his smile to something a bit more serious an expression. "Now to some more serious news. As we all know the purge has been moved up, half a year instead of the full year given to us by the so called generous and kind angels up in heaven. What do we do? What can we do? Well we have some options, you have some options. whether or not you think this hotel im staying at can succeed, whether you think its a joke or not. For many, it could be a haven during the purge, to attack the hotel is to attack the princess of hell and less directly the king of hell."

He shrugs to himself. "Maybe you actually become a resident or not, its there, its an option and its better then the shit security vox could ever offer...on the other side the isles is always hiring i hear..even offer ways to get sinners to the ring knowing the whole blockade situation we all live in right now, and if you hate living under a king then you can live under a community government, if you dont mind that community group being the heads of the corporations you'll buy your goods from." He chuckles.

"What wont help however is the freaking out and rioting that is tearing across the pride ring right now...There are choices, whether they save you minutes, days or weeks isuppose will depend on how far your willing to go. I will leave with this, because even I can put aside my pride to admit to something. "

"Some of us overlords gathered for a meeting to discuss what to do, from what i saw it was fear mongering 101. expect i will say this, very rare the representive from the vee's miss velvette did come in with what i assume is a semblance of a plan, i didnt hear it because miss carmilla and mr zestial denied to hear it. I however would love miss velvette if she had the time out of her busy schedule i am assured to come on down and let me interview her on this plan, we do love guests on this show dont we?"

"Now then, lets take a break shall we?" Alastor leans up and begins to look through some records. "Ah this'll do. During my sabotical away from hell ive been enjoying alot of music to come back with a wider selection. Cant say i enjoy much of the modern century of music so you wont be hearing much of that but." He pulls a record from its sleeve inserting it into his record player.

"Today to warm us up from such harsh and cruel moods. will be four tops "I cant help my self" circa 1960's soul." He switches the board from vocal to music.
