It's a great issue. Next month we ink #250 but beyond 2025, things are looking grim and we need your support.
Welcome to your July 2025 ANTIGRAVITY.

We open with a clarion call for the future of your ANTIGRAVITY, enter heart-centered Cancer season, remove dog vomit and coffee stains, investigate our snooping impulses and Instagram fixations, confront snails (aliens?) in the garden...

Was great to catch up with Walt, who continues to make beautiful, spacious, luxurious soundscapes for us to fall into. We jokingly set our next check-in for 2036 just to make sure we keep pace.
Senior Editor Erin Hall spoke to multi-instrumentalist Walt McClements about his new album, his first Carnival since moving away from New Orleans, and touring with Weyes Blood. McClements performs at Gasa Gasa on Friday, 5/9 with Bride and Supplicate.

It's fine. Just keep using AI to write everything for you. Who needs truth, critical thinking, or a grounding in reality in the year of our lord 2025 anyway?

This. I'm not sure how I, a registered Independent, found myself here.
I honestly grew up thinking I was a centrist. I have somehow become on the political left of my country because I am in favor of vaccinations, not censoring library books, supporting the existence of educational children's programming, and letting panels of subject matter experts evaluate grants.

THIS. The meta algorithm is pushing such weird niche conservative shit on me and I have no idea why, but as a marketer by trade I'm enjoying flagging and reporting every single one of them and blocking the advertisers.
These short-format video algorithms are too aggressive, like just because I accidentally watched four seconds of some podcast that turned out to have Ben Shapiro on it doesn’t mean I want to immediately see every terrible clip of every terrible thing every terrible person has ever said ever

This was a truly life-affirming conversation and I'm so proud to share it with the world. It has delighted old fans and hopefully intrigued some new ones. If you haven't given Dax's work a listen, I promise it's deeply worth your time and effort.
A foundational member of 1990s sludge metal band Acid Bath, Dax Riggs went 10 years with virtually no updates, no releases, and no shows. Now, he's back with a new album and Acid Bath reunion. Senior Editor Erin Hall spoke to him about his hiatus and return. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/how-...

Re: USAID, it's like people don't understand soft diplomacy. Between this and Trump telling the world we're going to take over the Gaza Strip and put casinos on it, no American can be shocked when we're eventually attacked on our own soil.

Libby and @libro.fm all day long
For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts.
Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

Once again, Louisiana's elected officials work only for themselves and not for the wellbeing of their constituents. VOTE THEM OUT. Every last one of their sorry asses.
Cassidy—a doctor—has violated his Oath and is a yes on Kennedy.

Kennedy is now almost certain to be confirmed.

People will die because of this; Kennedy at DHHS will cause deaths, full stop.

The crazy thing is, no one even doubts it.

But also no one cares, so here we are.

Dammit Neil. Why? Why the fuck did you have to be so reprehensible and vile? So much of my favorite art, forever sullied. I want to believe that the accusations involving your kid aren't true. But you've lost any modicum of trust I once had in your honesty.

Genuinely concerned about the future of our libraries, so get your butts to your local branch please. Take your kids. Let them get to know the librarians. Attend the events. Find new series' to fall in love with. Be enriched and be in community, dammit.
if you have access to a local library … USE ITS RESOURCES!

visit! check out books, even if you end up returning them unread. sign up for programming! request new books!

libraries are some of the best community spots around and it’s so easy to support them & help them continue to get funding!

I'm also in the process of switching over from Goodreads. So far so good. Highly recommend ditching Audible as well in favor of @librofm.bsky.social where you can designate a local book store to receive profits from your audiobook purchases (I'm in NOLA so my love goes to Blue Cypress on Oak)
I just switched over to The StoryGraph from Goodreads. It was a really easy process to import and it feels better to support a business with a cool founder story. Hit me up if you’re part of #BookSky app.thestorygraph.com/profile/agin...

I haven't used the bird site in many, many years and I'm new here, so I'd like to gently tell the algorithm that I am not a cat person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not cat hater, I just really don't need to see 87 consecutive pictures of cats in my feed.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
