We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Japanese-American assimilation brought out many different mindsets post WWII (lord knows I’ve seen plenty in my family history). But I wrote this song to explore one POV in particular, and I hope it gets you thinking! youtu.be/X0mdNnsZi-Y

I don't think you're ever under an obligation to stop enjoying a book. Once you read that book, you and the book make your own relationship. You never have to give up your joy, because that was always yours. Whether or not you buy the book/publicly support is a different matter. But keep your joy.

Normally I’d wish life was like Stardew Valley where giving a piece of fruit was all you need to become friends. But I just received a singular pear, and what do I do with this thing?

Such a thorough dive into a song I always took for granted and assumed was an eons old Christmas song, when it’s been a living and breathing piece over the past century.

Sometimes I don't follow people because they don't follow me and I think they probably hate me so if I follow them then they'll be like "Ugh, gross, he followed me" because of how I think 100% of everything is 100% about me.

Some days you write the most beautiful song you’ve ever written. Other days it’s like you’ve never written a song in your life and have no idea how to. It’s all a part of the process!

One of my favorite song tropes is “barely coherent yelling coming thru an intercom in the background.” Like in Gennifer Flowers by the #FeverDolls. Or the #Splatoon soundtrack.

Walking down the sidewalk with my friend, and I accidentally step on a rat’s face and watch as it flees into the bush. My friend and I talk about how terrified we are. As if I am the loser in this scenario. #ratsrights
