Best-selling memoirist and artist. My band = The Dresden Dolls. My TED talk = “The Art of Asking”. My heart = full of love. I’m grateful to be a fully crowd-supported artist on both Substack & Patreon.

MINNEAPOLIS, SURPRISE! TOMORROW: I’m doing a last minute tiny solo piano show @ The Green Room - Monday night, 10/20.

Tickets went on sale to patrons only first, there’s a small handful left for the public.

Amanda in a bedroom looking at the camera with her hand up, the prince symbol scrawled on her hand in purple marker. She has a green pounamu around her neck and is wearing a sports bra and no make up. Her armpit hair is poking out of her bra and she looks pretty comfortable with herself. In the background is a clock and a bed a children’s book lying on a chair.

Heute vor 13 Jahren traf ich (unter @amandapalmer.bsky.social Achselhöhle) die @sterfaine.bsky.social (über Amandas Achselhöhle) und das war ein guter Tag!

Happy Friendiversary, Sister! 💕

Thank you, Amanda, Schicksalsmacherin!

My colleague @liaholland.bsky.social created this @fightforthefuture.org tool making it easy for you to write to your legislators and demand they stop data brokers from enabling abuse: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/data....

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

It was a sad and beautiful way to kick off Pride Month; I felt honored to gather with a ton of incredible mostly-Boston songwriters to pay tribute to our lost hero Jill Sobule at the legendary Club Passim in Harvard Square.

We sang, we cried, we shared. Jill would have loved it. Music heals. 🔥♥️🔥

Hi Sarah! That’s not the name of my new album. Not sure where you heard that! The Dolls and I are working on a new record, but that’s not the working title. Thanks for checking in, stay strong 💪💥

Do it even though you might get hurt. It’s all about the timing. Don’t force it. When it’s time, deep breath.
You got this.

A painting of Lady Liberty sorrowfully embracing an exhausted human figure draped in a unity flag. In the background, the brooklyn bridge with its two towers reflects the shape of the two embracing figured.

Last year we started a project to download and preserve public data. lil.law.harvard.edu/blog/2025/01... Since saving public data is in the news today — but is always needed — let’s talk about what you can do to help.
