Happy International Rescue Cat Day to my loves, Francie and Marcel. I'm obviously a big advocate for rescue animals but FIV+ cats have a special place in my heart. If anyone ever has questions about caring for FIV kitties I'm always happy to answer. 1/2
Picture this yelled by a little boy as he stomps across a lego town built collaboratively by the other kids in his kindergarten and that is actually what we have in command of the largest military on earth, apparently
Minnesota would like a word.
One of the most memorable classes I took in college was βMiddle Eastern Studiesβ. It took us through British and American meddling of the past century and then opened my eyes to media portrayals of Middle Easterners. Weβve been writing biased headlines like this for 100 years
Every time
I would like some checks and balances please
Iβm worried about what is coming climate wise. But meanwhile, I have had the best winter of my adult life, skating all over frozen Lake Champlain
Void cat, looking at you, from your lap and asking why you arenβt petting them yet. There is an orange cat watching.
A few moments later
Black cat on a dark green doormat, judging you
Here is my void cat on this weird #caturday judging me as I get out the power drill to attempt a house project
BBC breaking news oh fuck what now
Iβm going back to bed.
I have no words
Opened the windows of my studio to get some fresh air and it was not so fresh. I assumed at first it was the smell of weed. Not weed. The skunks have awakened from their winter torpor.π¦¨
And there is zero chance that even if such a meta machine worked, an AI-driven attribution-engine to analyse AI, that would it ever be allowed to benefit independent, unaffiliated artists
As seems to be my narrative, a road is barricaded or has been blown up and so I must make a path around it
For almost 15 years, half of my income has been music licensing. That was true until mid 2025. Maybe the timing is a coincidence but Iβve been expecting my world to be disrupted by tech bros, again. I am so tired.

First they came for transgender people
And I did not speak out
because I was not transgender
A lot of people know that nazis burned books in 1933, but they don't know which books were burned.
They burned down Hirschfeld's institute, and his books on gender studies.
Yes, modern nazis know all this too.
Yes, they have written down that this is part of their plan to acclimate us to violence
Hereβs the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI:
I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. Theyβd take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isnβt to have a cup of sand. Itβs to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

βWhen patients or their doctors have requested to see nH Predictβs reports, UnitedHealth has denied their requests, telling them the information is proprietaryβ
βwhen prescribing physicians disagree with UnitedHealthβs determinationβ¦, their judgments are overriddenβ

Oh, you thought you were going to work? Think again
People ask me sometimes who my role models are. My role models are every woman who persists in doing their own, idiosyncratic, marvellous thing, like Rose Wylie

When my cello didnβt make it on a flight to London, I put out a request on Twitter to borrow one and Steven offered to bring his to the theater. I miss those days of friendly Twitter

I thought that was just me and my phoneβs snarky commentary on how Iβm looking these days
I donβt think any venue Iβve been to recently even offers paper tickets
Srsly though, since ios26 email search is broken. I was stuck outside a concert because search could not find the tickets in my email. I had to scroll back 2wks to when I bought them. At least once a day I cannot find an email so I go search on my laptop where itβs found immediately. Solutions?
