If you have previously thought that the perfect ice cream does not exist, I would dare you to go to the Dreamery on Greene Ave and get the Rose/Pistachio vegan soft serve, maybe put a few marshmallows & coconut flakes on there and a dash of cinnamon, that's what I'd dare you to do yuuuuuuum

never played in orchestras myself but did work in some music libraries for 4 years and everyone assumed I knew all the stuff (I knew the titles & call number but not what it sounded like)

it is no secret that I don't like Western art music from the Baroque, Classical, or Romantic periods, but I heard some Beethoven on the radio this morning and remembered that I REALLY HATE Beethoven, it's just awful stuff

Nice documentation of us performing "The Bar" from Perfect Lives by Robert Ashley last month in Ireland. Amirtha is killing it as Buddy. I take the narrator part around 17:45. What a scene, what a band. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsse...

a bandmate of mine has an album in pre-order on my label for the 2nd time in 24 hrs... Andrew Livingston's Clock Orchard is rad, a bit more metal than some of his previous solo stuff, but plenty spacey and gnarly too andrewlivingston.bandcamp.com/album/clock-...

There’s one particular gig I played in 2015, a fairly high profile one. It went well, but that gig for me is the one I’m always thinking about how I could’ve played so much better, bolder, more confident and expressive. That’s the one for me I always come back to.

A periodic restatement of eternal enmity for the for profit US medical industries - insurance, drug companies, hospitals, etc. I'm in an absurd prescription approval loop rn, I hope you never experience this, and it is SO AVOIDABLE. Fuck profit in medicine. Healthcare for all IN THE BROADEST SENSE!

2023 COVID deaths were higher than if we’d reintroduced polio, whooping cough, diphtheria, measles & mumps combined. 75k vs 43k, adjusted for population.

This is bc of CASE load. Other viruses are deadlier, but none reinfect like Covid. Read:

Really think capitalism has a harder time coopting disability justice because disability activism requires that you value people beyond their labor. Disability activism requires you to see the humanity outside of what we can produce, the value of the existence of life

This is one of many reasons that it absolutely enrages me when oncology centers don’t have Covid precautions and tell their patients it’s fine to go without them.
