It was a solid start to #reading2026. Zero regrets for spending time with any of these. I’m off to the bookstore to ring in the new month of #readingchallemge

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Book 7 of 2026. This was a beautiful and quick read. If you make art, or want to make art, I strongly recommend this.

The only thing bringing me solace right now is knowing Alex Pretti was met by his dog when he crossed the rainbow bridge.
I will never unsee that video footage. I can’t imagine the pain that is causing his family and friends.

Book 6 of 2026. This one is a serious read. It's intense, but so good when you really sit with the messages in here. Yes, it's Buddhism, but in a more metaphysical way, if that's possible. Not for the faint of heart.

In the face of despair, you have a choice in how you respond. I'm suggesting maybe we choose hope and joy - for ourselves, and especially for those we don't agree with. We cannot hate our way out of this place.

Book 5 of 2026. This one is a little woo woo, and a little ego focused on the author. 3.5✨ out of 5.

Book 4 of 2026. There is a lot of wisdom in here about art, creativity, struggles with those endeavors… and much social commentary that’s particularly relevant to current social and political struggles.

Really hoping that my cat, the great murderous beast that he is, wakes up and catches the mouse he brought into the house this evening. 🤬🤬🤬
