Got a draft of a record done just now that feels like it just poured out of me. Different variations of layered drones using that Japanese 3D printed Cantareel device. Hoping to have it out for this coming bandcamp Friday.

This is the first year that we’ve really let our corn and sunflowers just go into the winter and it’s so satisfying to see all kinds of songbirds getting food from them.

JUST IN: Virginia's legislature just adopted a constitutional amendment that would end Virginia's rules that ban people from voting for life.
Virginia currently is the only state that strips people of voting rights for life for any felony. Youngkin rolled back reforms.
Now going to a referendum.

Virginia Lawmakers Ask Voters to Repeal a Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Ban on Voting - Bolts
Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They'll also vote on abortion, gay marriage, and redistricting.

I am only able to do music/art/research full time because I split $600 month rent with my partner & have a patreon rn. Surreal to watch the possibility to peruse a full time American arts life disintegrate over the last 10+ years. It was never easy, but we’re at a new low imo.
But also - there are astronomically low chances for most artists to do art full-time/as a career. I remember talking to @petridisch.bsky.social how surprised I was about members of Lush needing day jobs.

You can also check out this 15 minute film I made about Texas that features her granddaughter Vicki Miller, in the home the original Lomax recordings were done in, which has since been torn down.

Excited to share this event honoring the first Virginia folk performer to get an Encyclopedia Virginia entry, Texas Gladden. We will share lots of music from the archive & have ballad singer Elizabeth LaPrelle speak to her influence in her work.

Honest question, where do we think the “don’t talk about your politics in music” attitude came from.

My most recent short story/soundtrack is about this. A community in the Blue Ridge is not aware a CAT5 hurricane is coming for them because the regime has dismantled all the agencies & infrastructure. Follow up story/soundtrack coming in April.

Anyone interested in US power-ways would benefit from reading about colonial Virginia history, which eerily re-enacts its own events century after century. Albions Seed really speaks to the mindset of the white elite of the time, the strict racial hierarchy, extreme violence, gross inequality etc.

Also worth mentioning Fort Christanna, an early 17 century pentagon shaped “fort” (concentration camp) used to forcibly detain/re-educate Indigenous Nations of southern Virginia & N Carolina. One of, if not the earliest of its kind in what would later become the USA.

A really easy way to practice empathy rn in your daily life is to mask in public, esp during this extreme season of flu and SARS. Bonus, it also protects you from an accelerating surveillance state. ❤️🔥😷

Experts Call For N95s Over Surgical Masks As Flu, Covid Viruses Spread
World Health Network experts urge WHO to make N95, KN95, or FFP2 respirators the standard for protection for healthcare workers, not inferior surgical masks.
