Hey y’all. We’re streaming on twitch today. It’s more fun when you hang out and tell us what to sing! twitch.tv/foothillroun...

Just finished Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig. It was great but as with most horror books, I’m glad it’s over so I can get some sleep. I wrote a song earlier this year called Tear It Down that I think pairs nicely with the book. A very “demo” version is available for streaming everywhere.

When I read posts like “we need big huge protests like [insert country here]” it makes me sad. The US is having huge multi-million people protests but it’s such a huge country that we can’t logistically be in the same city so it looks like we’re luke warm about what’s happening here.

It’s weird to watch my whole world end in slow motion from my comfy couch, one news article at a time, powerless to stop it.

If you consider yourself to be a powerful voice in the resistance and you’re creating content that’s useful to the resistance but you hide it behind a paywall, I’m sorry to inform you that you’re just another grifter.

I wish we could get rid of the red vs blue (and blue vs blue) mentality. I think we have to think of it as sane folks vs MAGA if we’re going to take our country back. I welcome everyone who realizes that this awfulness isn’t making us great.

We throw around the word “cult” a lot without really meaning it. But these folks *are* in a cult. Maybe that indicates a weakness on their part. I was bullied as a kid & at one time at bible camp I joined a group that was bullying someone else. So I know I have that weakness inside myself too.

My 87 yo mother broke her leg yesterday. It’s a complicated fracture so it took a while to find a bed at a hospital with a surgeon who can handle it. There’s other interesting stuff to share if anyone is curious but bottom line is, I feel like I don’t have mental bandwidth for a family emergency.

We must resist the urge to hate on the former Trump supporters who are waking up to the reality of what they voted for. There’s no point to protesting if the only goal is to prove we were right. We don’t have the numbers unless we let these people join the resistance.

Apple News, I think we’ve grown apart. You think you know me but you don’t.

These mass firings then reinstatements with “oops I guess we needed you actually”… I wonder if they’re the result of incompetence or part of an evil plan to give folks a taste of unemployment to keep them in line when later asked to do things that might go against their conscience.
