my wip threads some of my experiences as an estranged diasporic Jew with etymological wonders about the adoption of the word "holocaust" to describe genocide perpetrated by the Nazis.

i'm no linguist or historian or Jewish scholar, just digesting contradictions of my upbringing best i can.

ofc this doesn't include untold composition & practice hours over many years—facilitated in part by my generous Patreon supporters. i'm grateful for their trust, & sad that so few of them get to experience my live performances.

"White supremacy makes white workers slave drivers & overseers & police, even as they're commanded by the upper echelons… it's not just that they've been confused or made a mistake. White supremacist culture infects entire populations and doesn't [brake] when it comes to the romantic working class.”
