Signs of life.
Four photos in a longer series. In each photo, a man is preparing to throw and then releasing a wrapped sub sandwich. An unreadably tiny caption below each photo suggests the contents of the sandwich in Spanish. A close up on the final photo in the series. A parking garage meter with a bright blue screen. On the screen, instead of their car’s license plate number, someone has input “FREEPALI” and left.

This is happening! Proud, delighted, a little terrified. No one person can write “the” book on any musical culture, and I didn’t try. Can I make that point heard? @ucpress.bsky.social

It will take a while for me to be anything less than astonished at images of my book in the world! @ucpress.bsky.social

Someone who is not me holding a copy of my book?! (Those are my dear friend @rachelmcohen.bsky.social’s nails.) There are no words.

Thank you to @lyz.bsky.social and her devout readers for this gem
Top: Geordi La Forge makes an appeasing gesture to the left of text that reads, “do not comply in advance … bossy. Already a cliché. Implies permission to comply later.” Bottom: Laser-vision Geordi to the left of text that reads: “fuck you, make me…leads by example. Directs yelling at opposition instead of allies. Easy to chant at a protest.”
