Hypernormalization describes life in a society where two main things are happening. The first is people seeing that governing systems and institutions are broken. And the second is that ... people carry on with their lives as normal – give or take a heavy load of fear, dread, denial and dissociation

My favorite thing about seeing live jazz is when the keyboard player shows up with a $20,000 synth rig, the guitarist has a $5000 guitar from 1968, and the drummer hangs a bunch of literal trash on and around their drums and you're like, "oh yeah... this is gonna be sick."

In the future, they'll ask us what living through climate change was like. Show them this, and then mention how no one in power cared.

Relationships are not about communication, or commitment nor mutual respect Relationships are about passing back and forth the same $200 to pay each other back for stuff And I think that's beautiful

When I moved back to the US, I was struck by how our institutions and systems are organized around catching you making a mistake so they can extract your money and time, and, therefore much time and energy we spend just trying not to get fucked over

There are many forces that are trying to strip our communities of their humanity, and keep us separated. So when we get together outside of algorithms and connect with each other — really see each other, as people, creators, artists — that is a form of resistance. That's why live music is so vital.

- stop saying “music is how we decorate time” 😡 - stop calling art “content” - remove the barrier between fine art and modern music - resist the idea that experiences are the same as content - go to music (as you’re able), meet people, feel sound, dance. engage with your body, not just ur phone

For the first time in my life I actually WANT credentials As a lifelong autodidact, it gets old to be like, “Trust me, I’ve got this” in a world of rigid structures The constant need to “prove” myself gets old (Don’t @ me about “that shouldn’t matter, trust yourself” — not today)

I know I need to be more resilient. Random fuckos shouldn't be able to get under my skin the way they do sometimes. Sometimes I forget that the world didn't soften just because I did.
