this song is so damn good I cannot even stop being in awe how it merges dreampop, shoegaze and this mid nineties indie sound I named “prairie rock” around 1995 (think bedhead, American analog set, transona five, low, acetone, Will Johnson)

in seattle in 2020 my teenage son and I would share the one nato mask we had in our apartment when trying to just do dishes and cook dinner while the cops were gassing up entire city blocks for days on end. Protect your lungs from this chemical gassing shit, it will fuck you up no matter what you do
even if you’re not doing a damn thing but trying to stay in your home you will need this when the expanding occupations start gassing your neighborhood. That shit will get in your house and fuck you even if you’re not in any way getting out into the mix of it

Here's a way to help folks in Minneapolis who have been impacted by ICE, they're about halfway to this goal
My friends and I are raising money for our former coworkers! They are 3 adults and 5 children living in a single apartment. The father of 4 of the children was recently deported. Please consider donating. 🙏

This is so important. I actually think we need to be more intentional about this.
Voice notes sent securely between us can serve as histories of each other and of our movement.
Transcriptions of those notes add a layer of preservation.

About 30-40 folks in front of the J.J. Pickle Federal Building (which houses an ICE processing center) in Austin on a third night of protest in solidarity with Minneapolis and Portland. State troopers and APD have formed a police line in front of the building. 🧵
