Corporate interests are overjoyed that we keep the spotlight on Trump and Musk. When those guys flame out, as they appear to be on track to do, those faceless corporations will just buy a kinder, gentler puppet to distract us, and make us feel like we put down the bad guys.

Taking small steps toward big dreams. WithOurSong is now on all of the major social networks and we have a splash page! There’s lots to do, but it would be great if you’d join the chorus and help build momentum. Though peace is like a river, if you don’t paddle, you can’t deliver.

Is there anyone in my circles with stellar web skills who would be willing to partner with me to get a campaign going to bring people together in song? I am hoping to move quickly to create a vehicle for people to combine their voices at demonstrations. Please DM me if you can help. Let’s do this!

Here's what should be happening: Everyone around Donald Trump and Elon Musk should recognize that they suffer from mental illness and substance abuse disorder that prevent them from executing the duties of their station in a responsible fashion, and action should be taken

Economic ultra-nationalism in a global economy is not just regressive, it’s blind idiocy. Like trying-to-recreate-feudal-Japan-level idiocy.

The upside to having my dream job for nearly 25 years is, well, having had my dream job for nearly 25 years.

The downside is, when the bottom falls out of the dream job market, going through the want ads is like reading my own obituary.

In solidarity with International Workers’ Day, I will be taking Thursday, May 1 off of work. I’m hoping there will be a general strike, but in any case I’ll be protesting somewhere.
