ok, this was my exact face when I finished Lili Is Crying

[PREORDER] Colour into Focus: Queer + Trans Collage [Issue 2: Futures/Imagination] ** There are a limited number of sliding-scale copies at each price point. The higher price points offer an opportunity to help continue producing...

exciting news! the second issue of COLOUR INTO FOCUS, our ongoing anthology series showcasing queer and trans collage, is at the printer and we should [🤞] have copies in our hands next week. SO we are now taking pre-orders (priced on a sliding scale). theme of issue two is FUTURES / IMAGINATION

I’m in this picture and frankly that’s the best

so excited about this. finally, my years of muttering "there should be a crosswalk here" while aggressively jaywalking have paid off!

SAME

we love to see the right person get tapped for a job

yes please!

When we lost the Somerville Times and the Somerville Journal we lost the very quirky, very local, very HUMAN kind of reporting and editorial that AI summaries could never replace.

The CS Indie appears to be leaning back into the humanity of reporting, and I'm delighted by it.

Leading in Times of Crisis: Holding & Sharing Power and Reducing Harm In the face of big challenges, we don't have time to be stuck—so it's time to be brave! Whether you set out to be a leader or it just kind of happened to...

can confirm that my Microcosm zine is ai-free, but y’all knew that, right

all signs point to “log off and read the new calculation of volume.” maybe we’ll figure it out this time

good tree update

Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.

odds seem pretty good that I’ll be able to hear this from my apartment in Massachusetts

diversity hires, huh

Rare Birds, by Owls 6 track album

you might also know this one, which moves the sliders toward slightly more cello and less Shaw: owls-are-everywhere.bandcamp.com/album/rare-b...

Live at Glasshaus, by Annahstasia 13 track album

also in this category, and in a vocal category absolutely nobody else occupies annahstasia.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

Evening Light: Raga Cycle I, by Michael Harrison and Ina Filip 7 track album

this one’s gotten me through that vibe a bunch lately michaelharrison.bandcamp.com/album/evenin...

ok nobody ASKED for this vibe but you extra weird weirdos should know that Raven Chacon wrote a thing for my faves Loadbang newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/raven-...

Keeping the Look Loose (Kamala Sankaram), by Brooklyn Youth Chorus from the album Silent Voices

a less exactly right answer, maybe (satb unaccompanied is probably the thing i have the least of in my own library) brooklynyouthchorus.bandcamp.com/track/keepin...

Punctum, by Caroline Shaw & Attacca Quartet from the album Orange

how about cello and friends? carolineshaw.bandcamp.com/track/punctum

wherever charity is (after tolstoy, after ubi caritas), by David Lang, The Crossing, and Donald Nally from the album poor hymnal

hmmm I already gave somebody this composer but also this is my current right answer davidlangmusic.bandcamp.com/track/wherev...

An Atlas of Deep Time, by John Luther Adams, South Dakota Symphony Orchestra 2 track album

bigger and maybe positing a utopia we already have access to. still very much Not Wagner johnlutheradams.bandcamp.com/album/an-atl...

I want to live (feat. Trio Mediaeval), by David Lang from the album the little match girl passion

small scale utopia: davidlangmusic.bandcamp.com/track/i-want...

Suzanne Farrin: Dolce la Morte, by Eric Jurenas, International Contemporary Ensemble, David Fulmer 11 track album

possibly you have already heard me scream about these countertenor and chamber orchestra settings of Michaelangelo’s gay love poems, lmk if this is old news newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/suzann...

how about this: in exchange for whining about ai a bunch today, i will give contemporary classical recs to anyone who wants one tonight. just tell me a vibe or give me an emoji or something.

sometimes i’m called unreasonable for not wanting to pivot to ai. why indeed would anyone not want to stuff a hundred and twenty seven million dollars into some overstocked shoes and light the whole thing on fire

Struggling shoe retailer Allbirds makes bizarre pivot to AI, adds $127 million in value Allbirds announced a deal with American Exchange Group to sell its intellectual property and other assets for $39 million in March.

i’m going to have to explain this to my therapist tomorrow and i resent that
