@clairerousay @mondoj_ If not now when?
When the time we have now ends. When the big hand goes round again. Can you still feel the butterflies? Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Was at the square and got flagged down by a 25-35ish yr old dude dressed like 6th St. in the ‘90s who ran a long distance to ask if I wanted to “smoke this joint” with him. I’ve still got it!
Just added to my drafts and decided to see what other chestnuts are stored there. It was then that I realized I have not tweeted the vast majority of things I thought I have twooted.
Once again want to give a shout out to all the folks making albums no one buys and playing shows nobody comes to, running labels at a loss, and hosting radio shows nobody listens to - we are the backbone of the worst industry on earth - the music industry 👏
What we learned from COVID? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because health is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they're being paid. That we live in a society not an economy
It’s going to come down to this: basic decent humans are going to have to stand up for basic human decency and refuse to sit down, and refuse to accept or accommodate supremacists, or anyone who would normalize, platform, capitulate to, or excuse supremacists.
Lot of ink spilled over the years about conservative white resentment and how much we need to pay attention to it.
About time attention was paid to the resentment the rest of us feel, forced to live in a country that accommodates conservative white assholes as a 1st priority.
The consistent message in so many things that happen in the US, from gun violence to the pandemic, is that there’s no such thing as enough death and suffering that will make the machine stop. So much death is preventable but those with the power are happy to keep it going.
Denton, I'll keep it 100% with you: Turnout in this election has been *VERY LOW*.
But there's three days to fix that. If you have yet to vote, I'm asking you to make it a priority. Please speak with your friends & fam about how crucial this election is.
Polls open today til 5pm
