@Steven_Hyden Had a chance to see You Got Gold recently and was telling a friend that this is probably the saddest two lines I've ever heard in a song. Still crushes me every time

Wow- I didn't realize that July 13th is both the anniversary of the 1863 Draft Riots AND the 1977 New York City blackout.

These are both FOUNDATIONAL events in Black New York history. So fascinating to think, while walking around in the July heat, how much can change in a day.

Very sad to wake up to the news that Jeremiah Green has passed at the too young age of 45. Simply one of the all-time great indie rock drummers. Playing “Truckers Atlas” today in his honor. RIP. https://t.co/YV85RwR5cP

Although furious and personally attacked by how old this makes me, I am super grateful for this tweet because I had missed the news that they are playing LCW in its entirety on tour! In my city! in less than a month!

One of the best indie albums of the 90s, Modest Mouse's THE LONESOME CROWDED WEST, turns 25 tomorrow. In honor of this I spoke with the band and their closest associates for this oral history of the landmark LP. https://t.co/U9OvzvCQCy

Long known as "the cradle of civilization," Iraq has one of the richest art heritages in the world. For 500 years Baghdad was the thriving capital of the Muslim world, renowned for culture & research which has left a lasting unique charm

We knew our children’s lives would get worse every year. / We thought they might like to be here anyway, / to give them oceans, ice cream, optic nerves, the flowers, and all their names.

Still digesting the ramifications of overturning #RoeVsWade for all teens, especially those in the child welfare and justice systems reliant on state workers to help them access health care. Will travel to another state be an option?
