"It can be easy to slip into believing that mattering must come from external validation, achievements, roles, romantic attention, but the deepest kind of mattering comes when we give and receive undivided presence."

"You matter, not because of how many people you help, or what roles you play, but simply because you are you. Remind yourself of that as often as you need."

Instead of prescribing medication that may exacerbate mental health conditions due to side effects, consider seeking alternative approaches that address the root causes of mental health issues. This perspective comes from firsthand experience.

And more!
There will be:

As #RadioIrrtum always feels connected to open social networks, there is at least one artist featured who is very active within the Fediverse, and this time that will be @scanner@mastodonmusic.social [mastodonmusic.social] ! Fell free to follow him, that fellow does marvelous things in sound and art!

As always I'll post playlist and manuscript later here (provided I’m at home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions about the music – I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

C U all tonight! :)

Tatsache, Radio Irrtum! ist wieder da! Heute Abend, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf UKW 91MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D (Stream URL oben).

Radio Irrtum! ist meine Radiosendung, in der wir zusammen die Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforschen.

Eines der Dinge, die wir genauer analysieren, ist diese riesige Weltallqualle, die danach trachtet, die weltzerstörende Menschheit zu vernichten, wird aber unter Umständen von einer kleinen Maus auf dem Mars gesteuert.
Desweiteren gibt es…

- französischen Pop
- clubby Bass
- IDM von deutschen IDM-Pionieren
- retro Electronics
- experimentelles Weltraumquallen-Noize
- experimentelle Wohlfühl-Glitches u.a. aus Leipzig
- ordentlich Punk
- instrumentale Liedermacherei
- Doom Shanties aus #Berlin

So sieht's aus! Grüße oben, Playlist + Manuskript nach der Show (spätestens Sonntag) genau hier. Fragen einfach stellen – ich antworte (spätestens am Sonntag)!

Bis heute Abend! :)
