WTF.
The winners of the midterms are already working on how to integrate ChatGPT , Gemini , etc into their campaigns. Millions of voters will simply ask " who should I vote for this election"

I'm performing at the Sooke Music Festival this Saturday, August 9th at 6pm. If you're in the south Vancouver Island area, please come.
I've been rehearsing with 3 Victoria-based musicians (Alana on bass, Avi on drums and Vince on keys) and they'll be joining me at the festival. Can’t wait!

blue whales are going eerily silent and scientists say it's a warning sign. their songs have significantly dropped as the ocean warms and their food disappears. with krill collapsing, they spend more time searching and less time singing. the ocean is collapsing, and so are its giants.
Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign
A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?

One of the many reasons I’ve stopped releasing music on Spotify.
Disrespectful and egregious behavior from Spotify yet again. Streaming services have free rein to warp, mimic, and underpay artists, and it must end. We need strong regulations to protect musicians on all platforms, not just Spotify. We need the Living Wage for Musicians Act NOW.

Yup, I wore lobster pants @ the Fox Cabaret show last week! My power pants lol.
Seriously though, the pants came to symbolize something much more than a performance gimmick.

Such a great reminder! Local and small producers are always better, without question. 🐝
Just a reminder that your supermarket honey is fake bulked out with cheaper sugar syrup… another reason to buy from local food producers

Excited to play with my band tonite at the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver! Doing something a little different, kinda Doorsesque as a 3-piece (guitar, keys and drums) without bass tonite. Fun!

Right?! I’m starting radical detanglement and detachment from my phone. I read something yesterday that horrified me…The average person burns up 20 years of their life staring at a phone. The irony of me staring at my phone to write and share this post is not lost on me. 😞
I just think that humanity is better than two people using AI to write emails to each other as a big portion of their day, I think we should set our ambitions higher.

One of my very favourite things is to come upon bees sleeping sweetly in flowers at the end of the day. My sister Tracy says she read that the ones sleeping in flowers at the end of the day are the bees at end of life. So, say thank you bee for all you do and good bye. And, that’s what I do. 💕🐝

On Bluesky its easy to spot the MAGA aligned accounts pretending to be progressive or democrats, simply post Israeli and Russian criticism or content calling out war crimes or other criminal activity and watch who comes out of the woodwork. Very simple.

Fantastic article and summary of how many indie musicians like me are grappling with the ethics of contributing to the streaming giant Spotify that funds the war machine. I’m out!

Spotify+drones+war= not a world I wanna support with my hard-earned money.
Trump regime official, and alcoholic, Pete Hegseth created a propaganda video touting "US products" while displaying Chinese made drones which he proceeded to attempt to pass off as "American made".
