Songs, stories, and the occasional bad idea. Folk, rock, and whatever else spills out. May contain traces of caffeine, sarcasm, whimsy, wonder, and existential dread. Baking tips also available. Canadian wannabe.
This. Please pay for the art you enjoy. Otherwise? Well, then we cant art. C'mon people.
And I get the "Boycott Bezos" side of this, but you can't use that as an excuse to be a douche to authors.
Libraries, small bookstores, author websites.... Doesn't take much & the impact is important.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Today marks 10 yrs since I launched an attempt to recapture what I was as a teen: writing songs, playing shows, touring (-ish), recording, and occasionally rambling into the void.
A decade of trying to say something real, awkward, hopeful, messy through music.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

It’s important for us to speak directly to Americans looking to build home or renovate. How much this work costs is going up – because Donald Trump has slapped additional tariffs on top of already unfair softwood duties. We didn’t do it, so we shouldn’t wear it.

when i was a kid, a bully pushed me down during recess. that night, my mom taught me how to throw a punch, and the next time the bully came at me, he got a face full of little girl fist.
when my mom was called, she had a one-word response: “attagirl.” and the bully never fucking touched me again.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

1) LOL at Grok still sometimes honestly fact-checking Trump, I guess they have more re-education to do.
2) It really should matter more that the President constantly lies about everything, including basic economic numbers.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.
