I'm a little late but one of my favorite albums from 2025. Perfect pairing for an indoor snow day

(the fact Jon was kind enough to send me two additional albums at no cost in no way influenced this endorsement)

One of the most enjoyable parts of running the label is building lasting relationships. I met John years ago when he played in Nashville. We got to talking about music and animal welfare. Shortly after we were working on his self titled album. Proceed is the second project we have collaborated on.

Re-normalize in-person meetups. I'm atheist and don't drink so when I ask folks to meet at third places that aren't bars or church, stop treating me like a creeper. It’s awkward meeting new folks but we gotta start somewhere to save our humanity
I know it's The trendy thing to stay home and be antisocial, I'm guilty of it as well. I've always been a weirdo loner, but we really do need to be more social in person. That doesn't mean just bars. Third places are hard to find, but they exist. I/we can't post our way to a better America

Roe v. Wade affirmed a woman’s right to bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom, but Republicans have since rolled that progress back and continue attacking women’s access to care.
We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe's protections into federal law.

With no defined Constitutional protections, women’s health in hostile states will never be safe or prioritized. Law is set for the worst case scenario to protect mothers’ lives, not the falicy that Roe meant abortion with reckless abandon
Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion in the U.S., was decided 53 years ago today and was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022. Featuring stories of women struggling with unplanned pregnancies, our 2019 documentary “The Abortion Divide” went inside the fight over abortion.

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion.
Since it was overturned in 2022, millions of patients have lost access to this essential care because of abortion bans.

Made these last few days a staycation and am binging a GOT rewatch. One of the biggest story flaws was not featuring Clive Russell more. The Blackfish character could have been interesting to develop (and let’s face it, Clive was a fox)

I was just talking with someone about all the silent damage that has been done beyond the headlines, and the years it will take to right this. Public sector-academic partnership removes dominant profit bias found in the total privatization of R&D
Not only is his lab silent, but he's aware that without public funding, he'll have to turn to commercial sources.
Instead of creating a public good, he'll have to create private ones.
Tragic.

John Quackenbush built a lab that is at the forefront of human genetics research and bioinformatics. Trump administration cuts have put it in danger of collapse.
