@foldablehuman.bsky.social will you please shit on—ermm… critically evaluate the movie 21 (2008)? I just tried to rewatch it for some inexplicable reason, and… boy is it… let’s say replete with bullet points.

Anybody else always find themselves at a cool gig during load out like, oh shit I’m supposed to share things like this… uhhhh here’s the side of my amp and the top of the monitor engineer’s head. Emoji string.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

Before I was a full time musician, I was a grad student training to be a marriage and family therapist. Before that, I was a (very unhappy) Navy officer. I couldn’t fully support myself making noise until I was 31 (10 years ago). It takes time sometimes. Do what you love.

It’s difficult to overstate how well this detail encapsulates the whole concept of having a public service mindset.
Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty:

The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body.

That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

The maintenance of racism requires the public’s ignorance of racism. As the Trump administration strives to unwind the Department of Education and defund libraries, I wanted to elevate these words. I went on to explain how enslavers legislated for ignorance. #departmentofeducation #forourlibraries

The library is the fountain of knowledge. From a fountain of knowledge flows critical thinking. From critical thinking flows democracy. From democracy flows our livelihoods.

We know what flows from defunding libraries. Let us defend our libraries like our liberation depends on it. Because it does.

President & CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social delivers breaking news @sxsw.com - in our recent court case against Trump’s anti-DEIA EOs, Maryland judge clarifies the order to stop these harmful policies extends to the entire executive branch & ALL federal agencies, in a win for communities everywhere.
“Our Constitution protects all Americans–whether you are a professor or restaurant worker–from unlawful intrusion on speech, ideas, & expression, & it entitles all to fair process. Trump’s anti-equity directives violate these core protections” - @skyeperryman.bsky.social, CEO, @democracyforward.org

This.
The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

Sometimes I forget there are still people (often creatives themselves) who directly support original art. I do have one of these, if you dare. Thanks @jacobgeller.com for the reminder that they’re out there.

A really clarifying question that I think should be asked of basically every politician out there is "what do you imagine power to be and why do you want it?"

Just building some footprint here, forgive me: Here’s another thing I did on my last record. For that ass, respectfully.

It's wild to me how much grievance over disagreement perceived as slights drives the American right.

They absolutely view being told that their actions are bigoted, racist, harming the environment, etc. as wounds equally as valid as the horrors they intend to unleash.
