Happy Friday! Tune in to @wtul.bsky.social tonight from 10 PM-12M CST for a Musicophilia setlist curated to tell ICE to get the fuck out of everywhere. 🖤

Also! Next week's show is the end of the year recap, with my Top 10 albums of 2025 (at least we had some good music this year, right?)! 🖤

Persephone may have only been in this world for about two months and is still new to the concept of music, but she is eager to help with the playlist for tonight anyway.

I wrote about LDH Surgeon General Ralph Abraham's anti-vaxx policies in my March H5N1 update article for @antigravitymag.bsky.social. He is now the CDC's principal deputy director. LA is often the canary in the coal mine; take our warnings seriously. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/what...
Within hours of Kennedy’s confirmation, Louisiana Surgeon General Dr. Ralph Abraham and Deputy Surgeon General Dr. Wyche Coleman, III—neither of whom is an infectious disease specialist or has any significant public health experience—released a statement on the Louisiana Department of Health’s (LDH) website explaining that LDH would no longer promote mass vaccination and that LDH employees are banned from holding vaccine events and promoting vaccines. In November 2024, Abraham and Coleman circulated a dubious form letter to exempt health care professionals from vaccinations. It has also been revealed that, despite his claims otherwise, Abraham might not be a board-certified family physician. Abraham and Coleman’s February 13 statement is an official version of the mandate that all LDH employees received in November 2024 and contains cherry-picked data and anti-vaccination and anti-public health language masked as “individual choice.” Republican Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy has spoken out against this mandate, though he also voted to confirm Kennedy as head of HHS.

Finally sitting down to read @nikostratis.com 'The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman.' Just finished the second chapter (on Wilco but also so much more than Wilco), which made me cry a little. I will have more to say, of course but, two chapters in, I am already heartbroken and inspired.
A copy if Niko Stratis' 'The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman' sits atop a wooden table at Levee Baking Co. in New Orleans. To the top right is a blue ceramic mug of hot green tea with the Levee Baking Co. logo printed on it in red. Read the book, and also go to Levee.

I went to the bookstore to pick up my copy of 'The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman' by @nikostratis.com (so excited to read and write about it, expect more posts about it) and ended up with two other books, because the world is scary and we need more stories (and my impulse control is currently low).
A fabulous stack of books, held by a semi-tan person and against the backdrop of the steering wheel of a 2001 Honda CRV. In order, from top to bottom, the books are: Roberto Bolaño's 'By Night in Chile,' Fernanda Melchor's 'Hurricane Season,' and the much anticipated memoir and debut book from Niko Stratis, 'The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman.'

As a nerd, I love this vaccine campaign so much (and wish our reality in the US was one where we actually had fun vaccine campaigns instead of measles outbreaks and suppression of public health). Happy Star Wars Day!
