Would like this world to unfuck itself... While we wait for it not to do that though, listen to my music.

- Just a bit of 80s inspired synthwave I concocted.
- In case anyone was still wondering whether we've gone full dictatorship yet
- Forget fiddling; I'm making 80s music while Rome burns. #synthwave youtu.be/V2Gv4DTxIZs
- This should have been the headline on every major publication and should still be the only thing that every news channel is talking about. Warrantless home invasions means that your home could be next. But since the rich don't think it could happen to them; they don't see how bad this is.
- We start talking about raising the min. wage and suddenly there are these people who are making $10 an hour that will tell you that allowing people who make $7.25 to make $15 is going to raise the cost of a Big Mac and is therefor socialism... Because people who make $1,000 an hour told them so.
- ICE is Trump's Gestapo. Call them out as such. They are following illicit orders given by a president who is punishing free speech and by all accounts - they enjoy it.
- Trump has the White House, both chambers of congress, the courts, more money than he can spend, immunity from prosecution and a whole ass cult that would kill and die for him... But if you read the utter shit he puts out into the world, he's still clearly a miserable person. Hate is his core value.
- Finally got around to releasing my 2023 album on Bandcamp. New to the platform so I have no idea if I should even bother uploading my others. derekphillips.bandcamp.com/follow_me
- Personally, I think it's time to see the writing on the wall that reconciliation with conservatives is never going to be an option. You want everyone, including them, to have decent wages, affordable housing, better education and access to healthcare - they want you to suffer, end of story.

- I'm one of those people who had their life fall apart from one bad day. Don't sit there thinking it can't happen to you and then start wishing there was a better world when it does. Making a better world today helps people who need it today - but it could also save your life tomorrow. #resist
- I always thought it was next level gaslighting and outright brain rot to believe that I'm a baby eating satan worshiping terrorist just because I don't think our government should be in the business of being dickish to people.
- People complain about this generation losing their writing skills to Ai the way my grandparents complained about calculators. Now most of us can't do math in our head and the results are ten times more reliable. Chill the fuck out about ChatGPT
- "I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." -Ronald Reagan That's what you're fighting against. Four decades of policy and propaganda to convince Americans that there's truth to this.

- People hate me because I remind them that they were stoked on Elon Musk just a few years ago.
- Maybe I dabbled in #lofi. soundcloud.com/derekphillip...
- Penguins... Trans penguins...
- Back in 2018 my brother died and I took up painting as a means to cope... I stayed with it as a sort-of-career for a few years before I got burnt out with the local scene. I do miss that version of me though... The version with hair.
- Capitalism has never once thrived without an exploited labor class. That's all... The only punchline here us that we're the punchline.

- The most meaningful thing to me right now as a disabled guy is to have a backup plan for if/when social security falls. I never had any intention of my music being that backup plan, but if it becomes one then I wouldn't complain. If you get down on #synthwave ... soundcloud.com/derekphillip...
- Usually when someone blames the president for the economy I tell them that the president seldom has a direct immediate impact on global economic conditions... Not this time though. Everything you see today will be thanks to one convicted felon and the people who failed to hold him accountable.
- From back in my artist days. Not digitally created.
- I've been disabled for over 20 years and I'm looking at starving to death in the next few months because the richest man on Earth is a not so low-key eugenicist - and for some reason this country saw fit to give him the sole power to end my life.
- Remember, we haven't had a federal minimum wage increase in almost 16 years because "it would cause prices to go up". This is the GOP showing us all, on no uncertain terms, that their priorities are never you.
- At the end of my street there's a house that has had three Trump flags and about four Trump yard signs out for years... It's all gone now. Is it too much to hope for that maybe some of his cultists are finally waking up?
- If you directly challenge someone's paranoid delusion, 9 times out of 10, they're just going to incorporate you into it as an antagonist.

- This was my first attempt at capturing an 80s music vibe. Still not exactly confident in it; but I lost the project file so it is what it is. soundcloud.com/derekphillip...
