Soon since small bands + music writers have no support or infrastructure all we will have is music made by rich people, bands that are already grandfathered in, and young people thinking they have to write 60 second TikTok songs - pressured to spend more time making content then music. Oh and AI 🙂
I wrote this 3 years ago for @pastemagazine.bsky.social, about reporting on transphobia in music without ever involved trans people, and you’ll be surprised (I’m not) how it continues to be extremely relevant www.pastemagazine.com/music/transp...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
I wonder what AI models will learn from all of my music. I hope to teach them depression that will lead to their eventual end 🙂
The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.
DFW Support Committee@dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social · last mo.Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”
Solo at the hurray for the riff raff show FEELING IT!
I’m really new to gardening but damn planting sunflowers in my backyard and watching them take off has been an awe inducing process. Our planet is so cool.
If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

This is the nature of a tool, which is only ever just a thing and nothing more. An item that exists in the world, that you might hold in your hand and learn to master, with tricks and secrets to its n...

Made a playlist for the amazing @father-daughter.bsky.social of the songs that soundtrack my life or at one point or another I said “damn this is my favorite song” (And yes I did basically look like bill gates until high school)

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2mo agoRIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...
Go to the movies and see I Love Boosters immediately. Best movie I’ve seen in god knows how long.
A reminder: nothing good comes from the state mandating a fixed definition of sex/gender and policing people’s genitals.
I enjoy the tenderness, humor, and whimsy of John Prine so much. It feels so authentic. I wish there was more of that in this world.
Wow @stevenmps.bsky.social wrote this beautiful essay about my whole damn musical history it’s so nice and made me cry. heartbreakingbravery.com/2026/05/18/s...

I love how many times in my life I get to have new mountain goats days. Today is one and I am happy.
“Nostalgia’s just fool’s gold…” The mighty @gladiephilly.bsky.social packed Deep Cuts on a Tuesday night. This band just keeps getting better.
PHILLY: Our record release show is this Saturday. You can win so much dumb shit 😈 for charity !!!
Really enjoy playing shows maybe more then ever lately? It’s nice to be able to enjoy it and feel the happiness while it’s actually happening.
Been listening to op ivy every morning this tour it’s been a great way to start the day.
Happy May Day! We are of a proud legacy. Every state in the world has tried to erase that legacy, but we are still here.
