Michigan, it’s time to make sure this guy becomes one of our senators. The midterms are closer than it seems.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Going to work and answering emails and doing regular things feels awfully weird and pointless right now. I know I'm not the only one. How are we doing this, y'all?

"No" is a complete sentence. So is "that's not an opinion--it's a moral failure."

Something potentially good to come from The Dark Times and in line with my insistence that WE ALL MUST MAKE OUR ART: I've started book three in my #mysterynovel series on Red Adept. The tension between the world being a complete shit show and my own peace mirrors exactly what my protagonist needed.

This. Raise your vibration. Share your art with us, even if you think it’s bad art! 🎶🎭🎨🖌️

And also cats.
I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”

I really felt that.

Good news, Gen X. We remember those late nights at Kinkos, making zines. We remember picketing the Big Boy in Akron (maybe that’s just me). We remember being fueled by coffee and punk-rock rage. We know how to do this.

Start (or keep) making your art. Today. Even if it’s shitty art. Make it.

The chaos is the point. Don’t take your eye off the ball. Pick the one thing that matters most to you and go all in.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

we’re gonna have to step back into the early 90s and make some analog zines and punk rock, riot grrrl style.

No news today. Just music.

New year, old me, first post on new platform. I’m a heavily tattooed neurodivergent queer gen X musician/existentialist/higher education professional/lover of animals who knows that anti-intellectualism underpins authoritarianism and ended up here because all of the above.
