Really, really proud of this interview.
To make her new album, Laura Burhenn of The Mynabirds had to find her way out of silence by reappraising her relationship with the muse. Read her Liners Notes interview with @jefito.com. www.harmonic.fm/blog/liner-n...

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

What just kills me about every one of these stories is how self-inflicted the damage is. Every one of our states can easily afford an excellent public university system, and across the board (albeit to different degrees) they just don’t want to.
Real bad news for my little town.
Keene State to lay off staff positions, asking faculty to retire after state cuts
A round of layoffs is coming down the pike at a college in Keene NH after state-level cut to the state university system left the school with a $4 million gap to close by the end of next fiscal year.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

There are people seeking political asylum in America. They were not taken out of mental asylums in other countries and brought here.
It's a big mistake with big ramifications, but no one wants to correct Our Special Boy.
