Please allow me to clarify: “AI art” is an oxymoron. There’s AI and then there’s art. They are diametrically opposed.

i love that horsegirl song that goes da da da da da da

Heads up, if you do this – I got an auto-reply from my senator: "If you submitted your email through a third-party website, I regret that I am unable to respond directly" and that I had to email him using the form on his website.

If you're shopping during Bandcamp's California Wildfire Relief Fundraiser give Justin Bloss a listen. Uncannily talented songwriter and friend of the band. justinbloss.bandcamp.com/album/claymore

Wednesday is teaser day for Other People's Music. Every post in this thread teases a different entry in this week's Other People's Music. Don't need a tease and want to go straight to the source? It's all here: www.etherdiver.com/2025/01/31/o... #music #Musicsky #NewMusic #MusicDiscovery

It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the bad stuff happening right now but news like this is a huge morale boost.

Hey #MusicianSky! I need something from you. If you have releases planned (singles, EP, LP, listening parties etc), let me know and I'll put together a weekly overview of what's new and shiny from you folks! It won't be fancy, but it'll be a way to let people know about your work, every week.

Some dogs sure are good at pulling / tugging / gnawing at my heartstrings.

I forget that musicians are expected to ask for feedback on their music, but honestly I'd rather be gutpunched repeatedly than pay someone to tell me all the ways they feel I expressed myself "incorrectly".

Good for listening in the dark. This song kills me. “It happened to us and it's happened before And it happens all the same. I can hear your singing still”

If a horse sees you doing a nazi salute, it’s gonna chomp your arm right off. Horses don’t play around. Fuck your nazi shit.

hey friends, i;m broke and still looking for work and could use a little scratch to help stay afloat and maybe get me a Dr Pepper or two. @hattiegang on venmo $saltyplumsoda on cashapp

btw the hardcover does have secret special art that that you only get to see if you get that version and take the jacket off. just fyi

Look look! I can share my Hello Sunshine cover finally!! I worked so hard on it!!! ☀️ Preorders: lbink.com/titles/keezy... ☀️

I released this Sunday night and I'd be deeply appreciative if you took some time to listen to it. It's only $4 on Bandcamp but the individual tracks are NYP. I'm also running a 10% discount on my discography. Since this is the only priced release, you can actually buy everything for just $3.60.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations. Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

I've had four practices with a new band and tonight was the first night where I really felt like I knew what I was doing. It's an awesome feeling. (The rest of the band has been playing together for a couple years, the new part is me.)

The guys who demand your papers in movies are never the good guys. www.wpxi.com/news/local/3...

This is a really great resource from @siembranc.bsky.social that I recommend sharing defendandrecruit.org

As a fan of literature there’s no worse feeling than finding out a novel has an unreliable narrator and realising you wasted your money

Consistently amazes me that these people seem so unprepared for resistance to their absolute dogshit ideas Like did it not occur to them that maybe this wouldn't just work

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I watched Twin Peaks as a child and firmly believe David Lynch permanently warped my brain (for the better). What a legend. What a loss.

Continuing to ask but if we abolish police who will people pretend to be so they can do just an incredible amount of crime abc11.com/post/4-accus...

i just wanna put all the world's billionaires in a spacecraft and send them up so they can look down on Earth and really appreciate that this is all we have as the craft drifts further and further into deep space

I had a lot of people asking me so I wrote an explainer: Here's how you can help the incarcerated firefighter battling the blazes in Southern California this week: www.latimes.com/california/s...

It felt like four in the morning What sounded like fire works Turned out to be just what it was youtu.be/Hp0uVNGca4g

Was there some weird plan to set off fireworks everywhere at midnight or are we all about to die
