I haven’t been fluting much over the past two weeks. We lost our 15 year old pug recently. He was my baby. So I’ve decided to share 31 days of wintery tunes to keep myself playing. This is Angelus as Virginum from William Averitt’s Three Medieval Carols.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in front of a crackling fire in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a raging snowstorm whilst enjoying a plate of chocolate croissants?

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

1. This is stolen land. We have no moral right to exclude anyone.

2. "Illegal immigration" is a product of 20th century racism; your forebears came "legally" because there was no such thing as "illegal immigration" then.

3. Open borders are good. Borders are racist and colonial violence.

Asking the important questions
Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I don’t have the energy to post these days but just go ahead and assume that I’m generally upset, troubled, put out, and otherwise pissed off about pretty much everything

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

As someone who has hypoxic brain damage from respiratory failure; the way a lot of you conflate any kind of brain injury and/or neurodivergence with immorality really fucking sucks.

Disability doesn't cause fascism. Colonialism, capitalism and white supremacy do.

I always invite my listeners to close their eyes and let the music create their fantasy. We all need a little escape night now, so I hope this takes you someplace safe and happy #flute

Live looping is the most fun! My music is often inspired by the people at my shows. Sometimes seeing a character gives me an idea, sometimes I invite an audience member to select a flute or two and see where that takes me. This was inspired by a family of boys who kept returning for more more music.
