And once again social media takes me from having a perfectly nice day to irritation.

I am going to put my phone down and get outside for a bit.

Media has become endless talking about anything and everything but no option for nuanced points of view. You get a singular side explaining to a point beyond what's necessary and then people loudly commenting either agreement or the opposite. I need a quieter world that allows for grey areas.

Y'all -

This is sooo good.

I'm not sure what exactly I did but my Facebook algorithm has somehow become mostly pimple popping videos and Instagram is a watered down Book Tok. It's kinda like taking an amazing selfie but forgetting to crop out the fact that you were sitting on the toilet.

Probably time to check in here more often. Disinformation on the other big social media site is getting really out of control.

Played on the radio between Majesty Crush and New Canyons. My heart is so full right now!

Cory Booker! 👀 This is a good start, let's continue to tell 'em.

New music recap: Not really feeling the new Men I Trust album but Japanese Breakfast is so lush!

Busy weekend and I am NOT ready for the work week but here we go...

Mirabelle vs. Strong Bad.

Plan for 2025: Make art. Read banned books. Go to museums. Support local music. Support the things that need protection. Don't buy into the poison we are being fed. Fight the powers that be. Resist.

People are helping. Spend time with your people. #justmyrecommendation

Texting people in different time zones is complicated. It's 5:00 pm in the UK. It's noon here. It's 9:00 am in Portland, Oregon. What if get confused and say "Good morning" to the wrong person? 😵‍💫

Busy, busy, busy...

Can winter please let up soon?

I went to pull up some statistics regarding the risk factors for LGBTQ kids today...

Cats.

Sometimes, even when the world is burning - you gotta put on some war paint and get out into the world.
Make time for things that bring you joy. ❤️✨

That was an ordeal... But I did it!

🙃🫠

Not much here, just some extreme cuteness from Dot and Mirabelle.

Tonight's viewing:

Another good resource in the wake of this nightmare. Hopefully the Supreme Court will block this and other more extreme executive orders but I am still really worried a lot of the agenda especially leaving the Paris agreement and "Drill, baby Drill".

Today was like...

Unfortunately it is another app. However, it covers a Lot of what Facebook does. I got rid of Facebook on my phone and I am only going check it once a week and use it to promote my band.

Local Metro Detroit people and music friends: Remember Strangeways Radio? Would you be interested in joining a Strangeways Discord channel? I'm enjoying not using Facebook but I want to stay connected to the local scene...

I need this kind energy in my life right now. ❤️✨

I feel like I need to keep it to plug local gigs etc but I think I am going to just log in on my laptop and do it once a week... I removed the app from my phone and took this week off and honestly it's been good. I still get most info I want /need from this and Reddit.
