This was a gorgeous jam session, no lie. And it was so gloriously impromptu. I don’t even remember the circumstances that led to my being there but it was magic.
I have an old YouTube video of @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social and @leelabhava.bsky.social jamming out on a random Sunday and it's been the kind of day where you share nice things so here it is music.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfye...

I hear “xchat” is trending and I’m like, oh, is that some Xorg-based chat/IRC client that’s been available for 30+ years? No, dear reader. It’s not that.

I always tell people that if we want to fight trump, we have to figure out why America filled swimming pools with concrete instead of integrating them. We have to reckon with that malice that would rather destroy than share.

Gentle reminder that two things can be true at once. 1) Someone may have done or written things in the past that caused you to disrespect or actively hate them; 2) it would be terrible if they were killed or disappeared.

A Prayer
We call upon
The Gods and Goddesses
That slumber in every
City and each town,
To rise now
And lend the power
Of your protection
To those most vulnerable
And in need.
Support the people,
Strengthen the people,
Against all foes.

And this is where I get mad at folks with some kind of moral purity about it all.
It is all hands. Some asshole wants to join up? Good. Maybe we don't hand over the keys to the damn kingdom but an army doesn't run on pure intent, no tactician would pretend that's how to win.
