Was a pleasure to do the voiceover for this important campaign video by BetKnowMore UK - it’s all about letting affected others - like partners, parents and children - of those who are gambling harmfully know that there is support out there for them. www.betknowmoreuk.org/affected-other

Behind every person experiencing gambling harm, an estimated 6-10 other people may be affected.

There’s a behavioral dog rescue in NC called STAB that does absolutely hilarious dog bios. After posting “Two Mommy Tommy”, a dog looking for lesbians because he despises men, men have been bombarding their FB page and escalated to doxxing and threats to family. Men: validating Tommy forever
I am currently reading The Demon-Haunted World. About 30 years after it was written/published, so I admit I'm just a bit behind time, perhaps....but, so far, it's an astonishingly prescient piece of writing that will probably always be relevant. I thoroughly recommend it to any- and everyone.
This Saturday in Bellevue PA will be a duo set with our percussionist Sam!

There is so much amazing music out there that barely anyone is listening to, why would I want to listen to something I already know I probably wouldn't enjoy? That way my attention and streams/album sales go to artists that actually need them. 🤷 That's all I have to say about that topic.
Russia occupies Oleshky. Around 2,000 civilians remain and run out of food, medicine, water and electricity. Russia, as the occupying power, is responsible for facilitating humanitarian relief. Ukraine found another way in: its forces delivered ~4 tons of food by drone to 100 locations across town.
