Jacob S@jsiege226.bsky.social · 4mo agoJust wanted to use this post to boost the singer @dessadarling.bsky.social! I support her work and if you like spoken word and hip hop, and, you are against ICE, you should listen to her music and support her if you can. She's also from Minnesota so she has a unique perspective.
Tonight: Mankato. Tomorrow: Eau Claire Sunday: Minneapolis. Full run of stuffs: Dessawander.com/events
The utterly incomparable @dessadarling.bsky.social is doing a free show in Denver on July 31st and unless you have plans already, there's no reason you should miss it. www.levittdenver.org/free-concert...

RESCHEDULED Friday Music Series: Dessa
Enjoy our rescheduled Friday Music Series performance featuring Dessa!

Speaking of music, I saw @dessadarling.bsky.social Sunday night!! She is one of my favs. Her lyrics are the densest and the most filled with smart references, her & her team incredibly talented. www.dessawander.com Between her two new singles and Tori's new album, I feel not-alone in this moment.
I put on a single song on repeat when I'm writing. All of my part of Scion: God was written to this. This ofc explains why there are many @dessadarling.bsky.social references, most notably a power where you can get in anywhere like a VIP as long as you don't actually ever *say* you are one. ☺️

So stoked for the release of this remix. (Thanks, Ani. And thanks to Andy Thompson for the additional production and some serious computer whispering as I transitioned to Ableton Live.)
