They credit & thank Joan for writing it, then make it their own. It's an anthem & this performance is ironic. Enjoy watching the directional turn toward the end.🎤🎸

Scott & Jesse keep things simple by layering catchy lead hooks w/clean tones supported by acoustics. An MTV favorite & change in band dynamics boosted their appeal.

I agree with Mark & I hear you too. Self-care is critical, not a distraction. It's self-preservation while we collectively maintain composure. I'm leaning into music today. Be safe & good to yourselves! 💞 🐼

Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social · 22h

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

While it's true he's pardoned more, as recently as yesterday, the flood gates of "the files" may soon open. There's a reason I don't post (or "like") music from specific artists. Several are named & I refuse to support them.

"If you’re a Republican official convicted of corruption, your odds of receiving clemency from Trump are roughly 100%...

"The latest move seems intended to deliver a political message: Those who assist Trump with his schemes need not worry about legal consequences..."

This is pinned to AOC's acct. She's right. Cohesive unity can still bring change. Nothing stays all good or bad, indefinitely. With eyes wide open & heavy hearts, we remain, the People - here to inspire & embrace joy in forms best suited for us. 💞

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Good morning, #Bluecrew. I encourage you, if curious, to view the #AIPAC money being concealed from their voters. Some of the funding came from airlines. It makes sense why they wanted air traffic controllers to return. Their motives are transparent, they are not. Vote them OUT. In comments too.

A color photo of Washington Park, viewed from the town of Anacortes. The photo was taken in Sept., during a beautiful sunset. Sand can be seen in the forefront, while a wooden ramp to stand on is also visible. An orange & blue cloudscape is reflecting on calm water at this beach, which is the focus of this stunning capture.
