"You can jump, I'll be there - I'll be your safety net"
As I prepare to organize & build community, I'm thinking back to a special moment. David Husted & I created the song "Even Fail" - working on the bridge was pure joy.

@bafflegabs.bsky.social Heard you promoting #BlameItOnMyZodiac on @hdtgm.bsky.social. Liked the sample song, ordered and am working my way through the CD and loving it! I wouldn't have been surprised had I seen the tracklist for A Zodiac Tape. Digging deep with XTC's Didn't Hurt A Bit. Excellent!

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

We had tickets to see #mandypatinkin in Wilmington, DE last night. We had trouble finding which venue it was in. Then were told the show was cancelled. Unable to find any information other than #VividSeats showing it rescheduled for April of '26. Hope MP & family are well @mandykathryn.bsky.social

Washington, D.C.’s No Kings protest is converging on a rallying point just west of the Capitol building. This was one of several locally-organized feeder marches just before merging with an even bigger crowd on Pennsylvania Avenue 👇

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

The thing that is most devastating to me about the ongoing evisceration of the public health infrastructure in the U.S right is how little awareness of what's going on the majority of people in the general public have and the impact this will have on their health and safety.

Show up to a protest on the 18th. It’s a way to stand up and be counted for the proposition that what these people are doing to your country is not right, not acceptable.
