been thinking about graham platner in light of justin fairfax, and yeah democrats explicitly recruit potential murderers because that's the job

Did my civic duties today. Returned library books (useful) & voted (probably not useful).

Montserrat has a very official feel thanks to its usage by wikipedia + various governments and corporations. But it's based on early 20th century handpainted signage from the Montserrat neighborhood in Buenos Aires, so there's this hyperlocal specificity and sense of history attached to it as well.

I also seem to have lost one of the baby pawpaws over the winter. No sign left of it.

Honey patch squash, Shangdong & Atrar cukes, Kiwano seedlings transplanted. Started NM Red & Green chiles.

Write down some words and then put them in order forever

There was a little while in classical music that the industry thrived on sequels, Brahms Symphony 2, for example.

"ICE is determined to expand its capacity to detain people to more than 100,000 people at any given time, which is really a shocking number and parallel to the number of Japanese Americans that were incarcerated during World War II."

ofc this is the same city that sends monthly emails with your gas/water/trash bill but they never include a link to pay it.

The cold feels good outside while prepping the garden. Trying to remember this near frozen feeling as I won't be feeling it again until October.

Sick. One of these days I will finally get to see Ka live.

They literally brought it on themselves for being shitasses.

It's such a choice. They could be a company everyone loves. They have tools we all use. But it is like being in a longterm relationship with an abusive partner and you can't really leave.

This is a lovely read. Annea truly one of the most energising and inspiring people i've met.

Thankfully hacked version are fairly easily available. Fuck Adobe. Absolutely terrible company.

Is anyone aware of any recordings of Monk playing 'Criss Cross' between the 1951 recording with Milt Jackson, and 1963? I'm curious when the bridge lost 2 bars...

s/o to me and 609 folks who managed to get some cash from the city for property tax or rent relief.

Totally insane that the city is so poorly run it can't even give away money.

Done by Matt Dixon who organized the show and is playing in Birds in the Meadow.

We really need to stop congratulating the rich and famous for vaguely gesturing towards the bare minimum just bc they see which way the wind is blowing.

I mean these systems are fucked in many ways and definitely are not designed fully in the best interests of the artist. I should have said I appreciate the publishers in theory lol. Lots of room for improvement.

That's why it's a 72-hour production but Willem Dafoe really sells it in the end.

Your point is ofc correct but I am now thinking about a totally silent finish line where people are just staring at you as you walk around cooling off after you finish and honestly I am here for this Robert Wilson production.

Also important to remember that buying an album does not give you public broadcast rights to that music.

I very much appreciate the publishers in many respects.

Everything is a racket under capitalism.
