Perks of being an indy artist: needing promo pics for a gig and having to play BOTH the introspective model AND the photog who says, “undo another button, show some feet, and look at the camera like you mean it.” FREE show of original tunes at Waterfire Arts Center, Providence, Thu, 8/20, 6 pm.
"You walk like you sexy!" I just got catcalled in Dayton, Ohio by a guy who looks like a young Basquiat. I kinda needed the laugh today.
Absolutely thrilled to hold a physical copy of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Design Values. My chapter, "On Design & Dialogue" (p. 104), dives into how conversations shape our practice and the intersection of design and democracy.
“Holding Out For A Total Eclipse” is my mini-medley tribute to the recently departed Bonnie Tyler, rest in power ballads
My first time playing open mic night at The Parlour Providence. Here’s a clip of my new original song, “Fourth of July.” #Music #SingerSongwriter #OriginalMusic

🇺🇸 I wrote a new song for the Fourth of July. 🎶 Happy birthday, America! At 250, it's long past time you got over your Founding Father daddy issues 🦅 How are you celebrating (or protesting) Independence Day?
🎶 “Everybody pick up a brick / Through thick and thin / Coming together is how we win...” Reworked this song for the piano to re-share the message in time to round out Pride Month. 🎹 What are other queer artists working on this month? 🌈
😘 Kiss your homies, 🔧 compare your tools, and 🌹 talk to them about socialism = the right way to celebrate Pride 🌈
First time performing solo at a venue in Providence, and it's happening at America, Unfinished?! at Waterfire Arts Center. My contribution: Thurs, August 20, 1 night only. I'll be playing original indie-folk songs related to the theme. Opening reception July 2. I'll be there, come say hi.
From Reclaim Rhode Island: feeling inspired by the progressive victories in NYC? Here in RI, we have working class champions too! ReclaimRI.org/canvass
I've been DSA-curious for years, and I finally joined today after last night's election results.
The heat and drought have been hard on the plants, but the rain has revived the garden, and the harvest continues. Here are some strawberries and red and golden raspberries that I picked today.
“No UAW funds shall be invested in Israel bonds." That's the new language UAW delegates voted into the union's constitution (Article 7, Section 2) at the 39th Constitutional Convention this week in Detroit. Press release: docs.google.com/document/u/2...
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is in the house on day 4 of the UAW International Union Constitutional Convention!
“It is the time to tell because some of us cannot hear” – Derrick Johnson, CEO of the NAACP, and guest speaker this morning at the UAW ConCon
I made my first motion today as a first-time delegate representing Local 7902 at the UAW Constitutional Convention. We were debating the rules for the Convention, and I proposed an amendment to the rule banning audio & video recording of discussion & debate.
Looking longingly at Canada / un regard envieux vers le Canada 🇨🇦
🍇 I heard it through the grapevine that this was one of the must-see places to visit in Detroit, 🎶 and now I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day ☀️
The New School announced that the program I've been teaching for ~10 years will close after the current students finish next year. I stumbled onto The New School's 1919 founding document. Reading it feels like a diagnosis of exactly what's happening there right now. medium.com/@leesean/the...
The New School Has Become What It Was Designed to Resist
The New School is in the middle of an “identity crisis.”

New level of algorithmic absurdity unlocked! I guess I should be flattered that Meta’s copyright bots think my piano playing is indistinguishable from a major commercial recording? 🙃 🤷🏻♂️ 
I'm proud to announce that selections from my portrait series of the Rhode Island Gay Men's Chorus are featured in the art and literary publication Fluid: Revelry & Rebellion of Queer Joy. 🏳️🌈✨ Thanks to A&A Curation for including my work in this project. www.amandabaldiart.com/digitalpubli...
Honored to kick off Pride Month at the Rhode Island State House today! I got to sing with the Rhode Island Gay Men’s Chorus and witness the governor sign a proclamation making Pride Month official.
