"Every single act of gun violence is 100% preventable."
Brown University student Mia Tretta talks about the fear and uncertainty of living through Saturday's mass shooting on campus. It was her second school shooting after she survived being shot in the stomach at age 15.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Not surprised this album is in my top 3 of 2025 from my Tidal year end recap. (But have been genuinely surprised how many of my friends are still using Spotify.)

A beautiful LP and book of photographs courtesy of Corrina Repp arrived before I hit the road last week. So today, back home, I lay on the floor and watched the rain and listened l (before looking at the book; Y’all know I love a music-and-art package.) It’s a pretty perfect end to November. 🩷🎸

If you’re buying gifts for folks this season, support minority-owned small businesses whenever you can. It’s pretty easy to do. Buy From a Black Woman is a great online resource. Or donate time/money to local grassroots orgs & mutual aid funds, especially those helping immigrants and trans folks. 💖

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

The 35th anniversary reissue of Lush’s “Gala” compilation. It brought together a mini LP and two EPs along with two more songs for the U.S. and Japanese markets in 1990. But the reissue splits it all up again on vinyl with the two bonus tracks on 7”. I needed some beauty this week. 🩷💙🩶💛

They carved a lot more out of my arm than I was expecting. The sutures are pretty cool though. They kind of look like my tattoo. But I’d like whatever body phase I’ve been in this year to be OVER.

The RI Community Food Bank has set up this page. RI food bank and local pantries know best how to serve communities. Give to them what you can and utilize them if needed. (If giving, $$ is always good. If you do give product, make sure it's what they are asking for.) Mutual aid is resistance. 💙

Got to see Belly do their second album, “King,” front to back but also a second set of songs including one of my faves of theirs… a b side from that album era. “I’m holding out for a spaceman.” 💫 (“Spaceman” live at the Paradise in Boston 10-23-25)

A dreamy Fazerdaze show in Boston. Been waiting a while to see them & lucky me, they did some headlining shows this past week. A clip of them performing “Cherry Pie.” Thanks for making all the effort to travel across the U.S. from Aotearoa / NZ. “Soft Power” is one of my faves of the last year. 🍒✨
