With how rough this year has been, I've spent a significant amount of time with a fear of becoming jaded, bitter, and out of touch - then I check in with a lot of folks: my general age bracket, older, and younger, and realize that daaaawg, I'm doing JUST fine.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

Christmas Eve. Going to play the Pogues Fairy Tale of New York, Stock up on liquor and wine, as well as any additional comfort items, and enjoy the great American slow down before the world picks back up.

Ah yes, so sharing an instagram reel to your stories on facebook is a great way to catch a restriction - because apparently the user guidelines for IG and FB aren't the same. OH GOD I DREAM OF METAS MISERABLE DOWNFALL

It's the Solstice, and I am bumping nothing but neo pagan Medieval music, with wine waiting for the midnight hour. May our fires shine brightly through the darkest of nights, and guide us forward.

Just had @swampratsmusic.bsky.social here for the last 3 days, they're coming back for a show here in Salisbury NC on Thursday at Shug's. I am genuinely excited for the calamity that is about to be raised! Also, you'd be amazed how many times @timholehouse.bsky.social came up in this- all the love

Sitting in a parking lot plaza before a gig in one of the many, many suburbs of Atlanta. If I hear one more GOFF GOFF laugh with garbage pop rock playing on loop, I may lose my goddamned mind. Thankful the venue is not like half the other bars here, that's for damn sure

posted a practice video on the other socials. Looking forward to doing more video content, as well as finishing this damn album. It's been so long overdue.

I (finally) have 12 songs written for the new album, and I'm fairly happy with both these songs, and the context that they all fit together. Next step is to track them on my end (Acoustic, and Vocals), and then send them to Mauz for their glorious composition.

Coffee is a gift, and the writing feels like it's actually gaining traction today. I will finish this album if it fucking kills me

Been a good, long while since I've seen the sunrise with a bottle, and to be honest, it feels pretty damn good.

Meta does this too. Unless it's absolute fluff or rage bate, you don't get seen.
Twitter (X) tries to "reprogram" its users.
The average user gets limited engagement for what they WANT to talk about, and more engagement for drama bait.
If you don't chase the algorithm, you get de-boosted—Your actual interests getting almost no attention at all.
I prefer quality over quantity.
