I produce arts events and I would like it a lot if grown ups were in charge more often.

Still on repeat.
The “This ain’t about left and right , you better stop messin’ round. This ain’t about left and right, better worry about up and down” in the bridge locks me in.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!!
I got to be the queen of my community Mardi Gras parade tonight. We all so desperately needed an evening of joy and love and acceptance. It was beautiful.

I didn’t spend a single dollar yesterday. My kid and I made a delicious creative dinner from the pantry. (busy and hadn’t shopped all week). I drank a lot more water than usual. 10/10 would boycott again.
I did it. I didn’t spend a dime today. And our podcast cancelled all ads. And you know what? It wasn’t hard.

I’m the director of NMF, the largest music festival in Oklahoma, home of the National Weather Center. The scientists being fired today saved lives at our festival last year during a historic tornado outbreak. The incredible humans in that building create ALL the models used by apps and tv stations.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The fact that this needs explaining to so many has me eating my homemade blackberry jam with a spoon. (if I’m gonna eat my feelings, it’s gonna taste good.)
You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger.

Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

I feel like reposting to spread the word about the rapid dismantling of our democracy and removal of our rights happening in front of our eyes but each time I start to post some new bullshit hits my feed. #ItsAMotherF-ckingCoup

Every time you see a “New Orleans strong” commercial remember that, in honor of the Super Bowl, the city rounded up their homeless population, forced them onto busses under threat of arrest, and piled them into an unheated warehouse at a cost of $17.5M. $17.5M that could have been spent on housing.

Happy headliner announce day for all who celebrate! 🎸🔥♥️
So proud of this lineup for our free festival.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

fucking hell is right

The ‘administration’ (what are we calling this cabal staging a coup?) is taking a sledgehammer to our domestic AND foreign infrastructure. And bragging about it.

Good morning. Monday was a hell of a week. Welcome to Tuesday- how is everybody?

Today’s mantra: Keep calm and call your senators and reps. Daily. About all the things.

I’m seeing so many friends disable Facebook. While I support it, I miss the updates, pet photos, and community it afforded. Let’s make it here. Community and the ability to communicate and organize is why we moved over here. Oklahoma friends, what are you up to today?
