Thanks to the legend Jim Neill for playing my new single "You, So I" on WRSI tonight. The single comes out on Feb 6 followed by the album, "Almost Always Overwhelmed" on March 6.

It's nice to hear it on the airwaves.

I just wrote out the liner notes for my next album, Almost Always Overwhelmed, which should be out in the beginning of March. It feels sort of real now.

If you have relatives with long covid and will be seeing them tomorrow (or won’t be because they have long covid) please spread the word about this trial of tirzepatide for LC. I’m enrolled, the anecdotes I hear from patients on it for other reasons are very encouraging.
There are >800 LoCITT-T participants, & >200 people who are eligible & just need to take one more step to claim their spot.

There's time for new folks to join!

We're particularly hoping to enroll folks from ND, MS, & PR & more BIPOC participants:

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

To summarize
-waves are not seasonal
-vaccines are waning
-people are getting long covid
-it’s still not an endemic disease
-very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series

Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

Some of my t-shirt designs are now available on tote bags. I like tote bags. I have one I got at the End of the Road Festival years ago and I use it all the time. Tote's a funny word. Tote.

Yeah, ima need you liberals and leftists and democrats to absolutely stand up for the Native American community right now.
Ann Coulter tweeting “We didn’t kill enough Indians” 10,000 likes.

Trump has emboldened them. And she won’t face any consequences.

Here’s the thing, they are just testing the waters — they always start with Natives becuase they know even liberals and mainstream media won’t care too much.
