Thank for the pertinent photos; the list has a lot of technical glitches involving bounced messages and other unaddressed maintenance issues. I have kept you all in the loop so that I can provide the librarian styled platform that I have been planning to recognize cultural capital. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Advocating for better consumer safeguards and sustainable economic reform in the age of surveillance capitalism for "wising up" from rationality to morality in this emerging "Conceptual Age." 

Stopping the epidemics of misinformation, disinformation, & malinformation (propaganda) from disrupting our information, media, & technology (IMT) ecosystems by facilitating the effective, appropriate, & ethical comprehension/production of IMT artefacts on our journeys toward integrative recovery & holistic wellbeing.


Facilitating the acquisition of lifelong literacies, instead of reinforcing the perception that "natural vulnerabilities" are "permanent deficiencies," as a community of learners struggling to fight the onslaught of unhealthy messages generated by practices which condone/promote the exploitation of typical human fallibilities reinforcing the greedy, violent, and misogynistic approaches of a plutocratic tyranny who resorts to criminalizing, pathologizing, and otherwise blaming the victims of their wanton ludicrousness.


Alerting consumers to the impact of numerous illusions and other deceptive efforts that turn our individual differences into manufactured deviations (and other forms of "learned helplessness"); thereby revealing systemic injustices that are perpetuated by ongoing inequitable power dynamics (i.e. colonialism) and other accessibility barriers to the basic resources that support our universal human needs, wants, & desires.


Building a taskforce of nonviolent communicators who are:

  • Promoting an informed, engaged, & wise global citizenry and participatory transnational Democracy. (cf: listography)
  • Elevating “Conceptual Age” skills (design, story, symphony, empathy, play, & meaning) in order to remedy the shortcomings of residuals from the preceding "Information Age" and "Industrial Age."
  • Preventing media pollution, information poverty, & “techno-lust” from further disrupting our social, cultural, political, & economic ecosystems.
  • Championing mindful “meta-literacies” (i.e. becoming adept bullsh*t detectives) involving the creation, selection, organization, presentation, diffusion, consumption, & preservation stages for "processing" IMT artefactual innovations.
  • Adopting the principles of "Data Feminism": Examining power; challenging power; elevating emotion & embodiment; rethinking binaries & hierarchies; embracing pluralism; considering context; and making labor visible.

By sheer coincidence (or not?), I played "Smile on Your Face" on my radio show this evening! In a set of a smidgen more obscure women bands from '82, I included Suburban Housewives Club's "Guru Eye", The Bloods' "Blue Chevrolet" (from the Venus Weltklang compilation), and Dangerous Birds…

Nice share, Barry! Like your friend, I too wish I had such good concert notes and photos. Too much left to memory…

Also fun to see your post just after happening upon the Dangerous Birds’ sole (non-comp track) release, their “Alpha Romero”/“Smile on Your Face” 7”, at a neighborhood record store the day prior. 

Of course, Thalia Zedek went on to form the bands Uzi and Come and was a member of a later-era version of (NYC’s) Live Skull. It’s cool to hear that some more Dangerous Birds material will be revealed to us, as I (a non-Bostonian) was always curious about them. 

And it’s also especially nice to have some actual Typical Girl music activity on this mailing list / group!

Typical regards,
Lydia
