This really resonates. I aspire to be more aware of my ableist privilege and combating it.
Big Tech has lived by, “Move Fast and Break Things.” So they destroyed everything quickly and now we are here.
No more.
Indigenous practices have always shown us that the way is to Move Slow and Repair Things. Plant, grow, replenish, reparations, regenerate.
So, amongst the grossness of that Oval Office debacle last week, the AP and Reuters were not allowed in the room, but a reporter from Russian State media was present. Hard to chalk that up to idiocracy and shock & awe tactics.
Just sweatin it out in the club on a Thursday. (Just menopause, not molly).
Just another Sunday afternoon in Chicago 🩵🤍🩵 #DannyTheWildchild
Just got booked for 2 different 3 hour sets in April - I LOVE long sets!!! But first, playing tomorrow with people I love 🩵🤍❤️
Hi, this isn’t a scam, I shared the story behind knowing Jason & my admiration for him, on FB, it’s too long for here.
He’s a true electronic music devotee. I’m playing his last party in April “Rave To The Grave”, a mantra of his we never imagined using in this context.
Thx for checking.

Our attention is pulled in so many directions! And I’m still getting my head round the idea of posting gigs on here
Friday at The Miramar!
That was dope. A little blizzard can’t hold Milwaukee back!! TY, so fun 🙏🏽❤️
That stupid (but not) Dove commercial made me tear up. FFS.
Thanks for sharing this Kat. It’s a fantastic reminder of what’s important. While I treasure my son and am immensely proud of him, amongst all the other pieces of parenthood (and life), really sitting with the blessing of parenting this creative, is a precious practice.
TY- So much heck yeah!
I am so damn proud of my creative, talented, skilled determined, passionate, Chinese, Pakistani, Portuguese, British & Irish, American son. First time performing with the awesome band he just joined last night - Age of the Fallen. They stole the show! 😍🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽😍
Fuck yeah. Beautifully said. Onward.
Deporting US citizens to El Salvador next?

Growing up in the UK I realllllllly miss the BBC news.
Playing #burnerswithoutborders winter ball Saturday - will be an extravaganza of music, art, fashion, flow and performance!

#TheGrammys have implemented broad changes recently. It’s wonderful to see measurable impact both locally here in Chicago and at the highest level of the awards. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
"This category was introduced in 1989 & 3 women have won, Lauren Hill, Cardi B & Doechii... Don’t allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you, that tell you that you can’t be here, that you’re too dark or that you’re not smart enough or that you’re too dramatic or you’re too loud…. 👇🏽
#TheGrammys had me teary more than once last night! Dominated by women, black and brown folks, and loud proud messaging, it was affirming, reassuring and inspiring. Doechii’s speech (and a couple of other moments) had me full on 😭🥹 👇🏽
What about finding our existing peoples - our franz?! A search phone contacts option or similar?
Thank you 🙏🏽
TY!
Best ways to find people /rebuild audiences here? Wanting to divest from Meta but sure seems tough to recreate audiences built over decades.
