![photo of an opossum crouched in the corner of a slightly opened garage. over the picture is the text:
Hello, I'm the Opossum in your garage [doue paw print emoji]
• I came in because it's 12°F
outside and I have no body fat
• I am not aggressive-that hissing means I'm terrified
• I eat 5,000 ticks per season (you're welcome)
• I am nearly immune to rabies-my body
temperature is too low
• I will leave on my own if you leave the garage door cracked tonight
Please don't call animal control. I'm not a pest. I'm a Lyme disease prevention unit, just trying not to freeze.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cn2d7mov6fegaea7zgycgsfz/bafkreigjc3hj636z42w6f5z3zjdrwf7focknek3u5kfdckuhimgmucxwdq@jpeg)

I still get told that removing our music from spotify was like “leaving money on the table” and like
lol, lmao
lol, lmao
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

I once transcribed one bit of between-tracks musings (I can't remember which album it's from, but I think it's from Fellow Workers) and it really sums up the whole body of Utah's work:

Unbelievable that SDCC is going to allow AI-generated artwork in its art show.
“The art show fills up fast” it says, but taking away space from actual artists to feature slop is ok?
I hope they change their policy on this, but as it stands, it’s a slap in the face to real human artists.

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!
A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Been thinking about time travel lately, and I think any rigorous Time Travel Agency worth its salt would train its people in an oral tradition. Because, perversely, as timelines change the written word can change. So you can’t rely on reference documents.

Hey I’m on this compilation with a bunch of amazing DIY and indie artists and Trans Lifeline needs our help as much as ever. I did “If You Don’t, Don’t” which is my favorite song on the record.
Jimmy Eat World’s banger of a record Bleed American turns 25 this year. Two years ago, I produced a cover compilation of the record with a bunch of great musicians on it. All proceeds go to Trans Lifeline. I think it’s pretty good. I hope you do too.

Always use the mic at a conference even if you’re loud. People who can’t hear you *can’t hear you * when you ask if you can hear them in the back. Some of us went to one too many hardcore shows in our youth without ear plugs and our hearing ain’t what it used to be 🥺
