Incredible festival, by us and for us #CovidCautious folks! So affirming to spend 5 days online with other covid-safer performers making art from & around our experiences of the last 6y. Really looking forward to what's next from all the organizers and artists!
Still 2 more days of #InspireAirAwareFest- hope to see more of my #CovidCautious friends on the zoomiverse! Check out the weekend lineup: guinesspig.ghost.io/inspirefestical2026
It's been A TIME lately but I'm so excited to be at #InspireAirAwareFest w so many incredible CC performers! I'm bummed I wasn't able to perform due to my housing situation, but I'm so thrilled to be in the house for y'all - *Do not sleep* on @augustalees.bsky.social or @lilyslays.bsky.social!
This is honestly so impressive... finding the origin of the melody /chords / song in yoddish culture generally is so
Bets on how long until the USian head of state latches onto this as his new reason to invade Canada?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

...okay, one, no you're not "somewhat stupid" you giant archivist and research nerd??? And if twinks look normal (as in the default) I have so many questions about your life
I'm crying 😂
Right on cue. This is looking like it's going to be the American Reichtag.
Okay but like.... is this closer to himbo or like twink? Is it out geoup flavored pejorative bc Jews are short?

This is such a problem for a lot of old musics. Like, if copyright is prohibiting the music from being perfromed bc you can't access, the estate ALSO gets no $... is that even the wishes of the composer/arranger/songwriter at that point?

There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.
What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?
One week til my 1st show since 2024! It's a weird time, but I'm hoping to leave everyone feeling enraged, empowered, connected w community, centered in the truth of this moment.

Loser Mike Johnson hopes we forgot about extending ACA tax credits while he was on Christmas vacation.
Let’s make it very clear how wrong he is:
Wow. This is some pretty next level twisting of the law. I hope the courts can slow this down.
In broader community, there is a lot of holding my breath / feeling crazy, and limiting my time there. Judgement and hostility.
I'm grateful Seattle has a strong #CC community, which keeps me sane. But it's not big enough I can replace a housemate spot quickly, or find anything for my sequins NYE.
Listen, I have had long debates about whether the sad alarm clock from that one Yiddish children's book is a fascist and it is fascist apologia 😂
This is why I love yiddish culture tbh
At some point Hankus talks about needing to know the litvak vs galitz style of certain songs and how they're played, as an important bit of hospitality - (paraphrasing) 'it's like if you have someone from Alabama at the wedding, you gotta play Sweet Home Alabama!'
