Week 8: Live From Vienna (FM4 Session) by Milky Chance open.spotify.com/album/4QJIzs...

This is another reason using ChatGPT at all — even just for editing or to make a word limit — is a horrible idea.

Week 7: Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter 💋 open.spotify.com/album/3WzBIQ...

As much as I hate to hear a recording of my own voice, this is an important interview. The largest book ban in the nation is in our carceral system. Prison censorship is a travesty.

Week 6: rosie by ROSÉ 🌹

Week 5: LANA by SZA

Week 4: Women in Music Pt. III by HAIM

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Week 3: Unreal Unearth by Hozier 🌸

Week 2: Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat by Charli xcx 💚 (which, shockingly, I did not listen to once even though BRAT was on repeat last year).

Reminder: If you know someone incarcerated in Appalachia (WV, VA, KY, TN, OH, MD), let them know that @appalachianpbp.bsky.social will send them books for FREE. 📖 Contact APBP to find out how.

Week 1: How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful by Florence + The Machine 🤍🩶🖤

In 2025, my goal is to listen to a new album every week! Please send me your recommendations. 🫶
