Go see a small show. Say hello to the artist. Buy something from them that you can take home and enjoy forever. Everyone wins!

As pretty much always, attempting to use the Bible in favor of imperialism is complicated by the act of reading it

Isaiah 6:8-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me!” 9 And he said, “Go and say to this people:

‘Keep listening, but do not comprehend;
keep looking, but do not understand.’
10 Make the mind of this people dull,
and stop their ears,
and shut their eyes,
so that they may not look with their eyes
and listen with their ears
and comprehend with their minds
and turn and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said,
“Until cities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is utterly desolate;
12 until the Lord sends everyone far away,
and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land.
13 Even if a tenth part remain in it,
it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak
whose stump remains standing
when it is felled.”[a]
(The holy seed is its stump.)

Today @genderlib.com and activist volunteers took HRT in front of the Supreme Court and then occupied the street in front of the building.

This was in defiance and dissent against Skrmetti, a demonic SCOTUS ruling that will kill so, so many trans people.

Please do not avert your eyes.

Last week, Philly PD dispersed the anti-ICE protests by beating pro-immigrant activists up with batons, in broad daylight.

PPD also used motorized dirt bikes to nearly run over people.

My latest:

Philadelphia Police Crack Down on Anti-ICE Marches Twice in One Week - UNICORN RIOT

Dead City, my sophomore album, is now available everywhere.

This album is about grief and loss, and the collapse of everything. But also about being able to put yourself together again after that. I’d really like you to hear it.

2amwakeupcall.com/deadcity to find it wherever you get music

would be almost as dumb as thinking mask mandates were ended because covid was suddenly less threatening and not because it was making it difficult to run a surveillance state

imagine thinking putting 95% of kids back into in-person school during a still-raging pandemic was a really cool thing for a president to do

BlueSky post reads:

Biden had 95% + of kids back in person school within his first 100 days in office while doing a vaccine rollout that hit >75% of the adult population and >90% of US
senior citizens.
