Used to hang out on Twitter. Used to travel the world and play concerts in your living rooms.
Still writing, still singing, starting to play live shows again. Stepping into advocacy and organizing for the Alaska music scene, which helped make me.
It's nice to hear y'all's voices again.

It is very notable that several Dems are putting out strong statements that effectively backhand members of their caucus
I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

Starting to suspect anyone vowing to abolish ICE and prosecute these fuckers would win in a historic landslide
One thing I have marveled at is the way that crowds have been disciplined in capturing immigration enforcement’s lack of discipline.
Chaos erupted in Little Village.

I think a lot about comfort and curiosity - how if you are truly curious, you must accept that you will eventually be uncomfortable, by challenging preconceptions, misconceptions and through the process of learning itself. Understanding something is messy - it takes time and thinking to stick.
Generative AI is ruining my motivation to teach. It is not a bold new era of information that I'm excited to see my students explore. It's a cheat that prevents them from thinking. It lets them avoid even a moment of confusion and struggle, necessary to process new ideas.
