Completely missed Gwenifer Raymond's new album release. As anticipated it's great and should further her reputation as both one of the most innovative and skilled solo guitar players.

An kind and wonderful man I knew was needlessly killed this weekend and instead of everyone getting a chance to breath, grieve, and remember the commentary machine was immediately spun up by the local media.

Starting to feel like the NYT has a quota on how many time they need to put this supposition into print each day.

Too many folks have spent the last 16 months trying to have the correct reaction to invented narratives and unrealities.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

The thing about not wanting to shout into a maelstrom is that if you stay quiet, you simply vanish.

Americorps NCCT getting shut down is a shame. It was the start of my learning how to talk and live with the varied people who make up this country and how to communicate despite extreme moral differences. Passing this skill & perspective to recent high school & college graduates is invaluable.

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD.
This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

Looking at a job and trying to decide if I should apply, not because I am unsure about wanting the position, but because it is far less safe than my current position during a possible staffing reduction.

Whew, turns out that writing long carefully crafted letters that fairly examine systemic and organizational failures that allow abuse to thrive in community arts groups is more therapeutic than angry screeds.

When you walk over what would have been a red line a year ago, it's a sign that you are willing to cross nearly any line.

Last year I dug up a "lost" film Kenneth Tynan made called WE DISSENT. Today it struck me that C Wright Mills was speaking on the grounds of Columbia, where cops have been dragging away Dissenters for the past 2 years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaDR...

The thing about people who believe that the study of history begins and ends with great man theory and that they are one of them, is that they are completely unaware of the true power of the people.
