@gaelynnlea.bsky.social, great to see you here. Sending you a massive hug.

This is insane. “Everyone is welcome here” should be the principle guiding every classroom, not a banned phrase

Winning Writers is open to submissions for "Live and Let Die DEI," a free downloadable anthology of original poems that make creative use of the words that the Trump administration has banned from government websites and research papers. Go here for more info: winningwriters.com/Live_and_Let...

@arielhyatt.bsky.social, hey!!!

If there was one song I could play on repeat for the rest of my life.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrdq...

If you hear of any narcissist influencers that analyzed the trump-Zelensky confrontation, please let me know. While I know the US has given Ukraine lots of money, I think trump's trap, fact reinvention, diminishing him because of the struggle reminds me of things I've gone through w/ folks like him.

The difference between Taylor Swift and trump is that when someone puts trump down, he works to get them fired. Taylor is productive and writes about it. #solutionoriented

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

"We can forgive a child when she's afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." -Socrates

One of the songs I'm plugging this week. open.spotify.com/track/3SPPgU...

Trump hates children and poor people. Part of his brainwashing over Americans is his lies about his political powers. He cannot freeze federal grants which help people in every state to get Medicaid, school meals, housing…. Call your Congresspeople and Senators at 202-224-3121. #SpeakUp #Truth

I love today's #Supernatural #reddit. www.reddit.com/r/Supernatur...

I disagree with Chappell Roan, who says, "I'd be more successful if I was OK wearing a muzzle." Girlfriend, people that speak up for themselves and underdogs do better than silent bimbos.

Rich Mouser lost his studio in the California fires. He mixed Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius' "Impostor!" album, and has worked with many prog folks. Joe believes in Rich's talents so much that he waited for Rich to mix "Impostor!". I donated $25. It adds up. gofund.me/4caa2828

One of the songs I'm plugging this week (and for the rest of the year). "Other Mother" by Emily Hurd youtu.be/jrSR4C1Gv3c?...

Fun fact: Back in 2019, around 40,000 songs were being uploaded to Spotify every day In 2023 it jumped to 120,000 tracks a day!? With AI slop this is expected to rise further this year And yet I still attempted to make an albums of the year list 🤷 www.drownedinsound.org/2024s-albums...

"I saw a commercial that said, 'Forget everything you know about slipcovers,' so I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell slipcovers, but I didn’t know what the hell they were." -Mitch Hedberg
