It’s Saturday morning. I started playing the one on the left and the cats darted away and my teen son kindly suggested we listen to something, “like, music music”, oh well, lol. So I’ve pivoted to the one on the right and now we can all be happy 😁 Good morning!

Only a few hours left of Bandcamp Friday, thanks to all who have picked up some stuff today! If you haven't yet, labels/artists don't get charged fees today so it's a great time to support us. It all adds up!

Just got home after running errands. Had to drive around a little longer in the sunshine and finish listing to the magnificent Message From the Nile (McCoy Tyner) featuring Alice on her glorious harp… on the radio. Thank you, KMHD. Inspiring. 🧡

The soup crock is too large for this dish but it still brings me some weird comfort, lol. A little dish idea I borrowed from a French restaurant. Hash browns/potato pancake layered with crispy, sautéed, thinly sliced mushrooms, homemade béchamel, an egg cooked how I like it (barely set), & gruyere

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Presses play. Oh.. yeah. It has been far too long since I’ve listened to this. Just perfectly soothing

Thanks to @themodernfolk.bandcamp.com for the reminder
