I think the rebellion to the utter vacuity of our current landscape is to forget all of it and make art that's meaningful to you and the people you love
8 years later and there still is absolutely nothing like the lightheaded, blackout-inducing rush that comes after trying to / successfully purchasing @brandnewrock tickets
Today has been a HUGE BOON for emo/rock/indie music fans simply trying to get through winter:
- warped has started releasing this year’s lineup
- JACK’S MANNEQUIN is back baby
- RILO KILEY is back baby
- MANCHESTER and INCUBUS tour!? Stop.

below is a list of black families devastated by the Altadena fires. IF ANYONE has just a few dollars to spare to help families begin to rebuild their lives please donate https://t.co/LYrSQIBs9J
I wrote about the history of #Altadena and its Black legacy & the resilience of families who’ve shaped the community for generations. #EatonFire https://t.co/PFiRGvjAfV
As news spreads about the wildfires in Los Angeles know this: We depend on incarcerated people to risk their lives to fight wildfires. They get paid mere pennies to do so bc slavery is still legal in prison. And once released, their records bar them from becoming firefighters.
The scope of devastation is surreal. Restaurants, small businesses, homes that families have lived in for generations, the physical and psychological landscape of the city will be irrevocably altered. An obliterating level of incineration that you never believed was possible.
It is so underratedly bizarre (/dark) that the sun is setting before 4:30pm today in NYC......and yet winter doesn't even start for another 11 fucking days 🫣
Democrats, in general, simply must permit more housing to be built in their states. Especially NY, NJ, CO, MA, CA, OR, and WA.
It's killing them politically and costing them electoral votes and House seats.
Don’t really have words for the impact the incredible Gavin Creel and entire tribe of the Hair Revival had on my adolescence and young adulthood, and how devastating the loss of him is. Leaving this performance and the words of this song here for now. 💔
