We're in this together now.

#LaughAid2020 is funny enough to get me back on Twitter again... #AloneTogether #SupportArtists

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

The gaslighting is always so exhausting. We all know what the President did and who he is. Everyone. On all sides. We all get it. Just a question of whether you find it acceptable or not.

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

Yup. Once you live around immigrants, you start to realize that they’re people just like you.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

This is true not only in the U.S., but also in Europe.

1. People alarmed by immigrants mostly don't live around them.
2. Both whites and minorities in high-migrant cities are the most pro-immigrant.
3. Often alarm is higher in very white areas close to high-immigrant cities.

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

Yeah, probably. But I’m currently ok with that.

@sidceaser Good! Quieting down for the summer but about 33% done with the next album. Planning on a full LP, hopefully late 2020!

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

Was a blast working with @sidceaser on the photos for Cubicle Zombie! A little behind the scenes from Sid:

This is a helluva metaphor.

So, the White House is flooding.

Between this and the sinkhole on the grounds, someone is *really* trying to drain the actual swamp.

We should just dispense with generational labels, and just use the following terms from now on:

"Boomer": anyone older than you

"Millennial": anyone younger than you

"Gen X": anyone you don't have to think about

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

Community colleges are awesome. I got more value out of my community college classes than my undergrad classes. The former was for me, the latter was for $.

[francesca +* @not_cheska]

hey high schoolers, instead of taking AP classes, take community college classes instead !

they’re:

- free for high schoolers
(pay books only)

- guaranteed college credit
(don’t need to take AP exam for them to count)

- more easily transferred & accepted than AP / IB

[Ari's Take @ArisTake]

"Fear and creativity are conjoined twins. People are so afraid of their fear that they try to kill it. And when they kill it they also kill creativity because creativity is going into the unknown, and the unknown is scary." - @GilbertLiz, Eat Pray Love

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

Just saw @aimeemann & @jonathancoulton at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth NH.

Live shows like that evoke two conflicting thoughts:

I can do this.
I can’t do this alone.

@_CharlesPreston At least a dozen.

[feminist next door @emrazz]

Good guys: tell me about a time you saw misogyny or predatory behavior in action and spoke up. What did you say? What are your suggestions for other men in this situation? #NotCoolMan

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

@ThatEricAlper Dangerous - Big Data.

You’d think I would’ve caught on by the goddamn title, but nope.

Sorry if I linked this one already in the past!

Yup. #MeToo

“[Populist] leadership will be strong and muscular.... justifications minimize the need for the majority group it­self to adapt: Once the un-level playing field is righted, group members will recover their natural place in the social order, or so they are led to believe.”

Broken blue-collar communities are the hole in the heart of the West, Raghuram Rajan argues in his new book https://t.co/RkCXPxk9oL

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

I agree. Feels like you have two ways to make #music a full time #career:

✅Small $ x big volume (20th century model)
✅Big $ x small volume (Patronage)

Right now, feels like many of us are stuck in between:

❌ Tiny $ x Moderate volume (streaming)

[Ari's Take @ArisTake]

Beethoven depended heavily on the patronage of just a few wealthy noblemen to make a living. At some point in the twentieth century the music business became solely about selling small-priced items (records) to lots of people. We are moving back into an era of patronage.

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

This whole process has been humbling.

As for me, I’ll be making another trip to the store tonight for more red card stock. 📮

For anyone I miss (or who gets a card a little late), THANK YOU for supporting #independent #music!

A quick thread:

6 months ago today, #CubicleZombie was released into the wild. 🎂 🎉

Last night, I spent a few hours hand-writing thank you cards to the radio stations that have supported & spun the album....but I ran out of cards about halfway through my list! 💌

[Weather McNabb @WeatherMcNabb]

Until I went through this exercise, I didn’t realize how much support this debut EP from an unknown artist has received.

Have I been too focused on the new album, or distracted by streams?

Too often we get caught up in the numbers and lose sight of the humans behind them.
