Scenes from the last few days. TJ Burnside Clapp’s hands and 12 string guitar while playing one of her songs. Such a treat. #Worldcon2025 #artbeco #filkers #filk #musician

Doing a deep dive into the #Bluesky #filk / #filkers community.

A composite image featuring a book dedication and the cover of Ruby Rose, Big Bravos by Rob Sanders and illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. The dedication highlights gratitude to friends and the "filk music community," with special thanks to Allison and Jodi for helping the illustrator find her place onstage. The book cover shows a whimsical illustration of Ruby Rose, a young girl dressed in a tutu and wing costume, performing alongside a floppy-eared dog.

Updated my Filk Community resource page (still bare, hoping more filkers created resources here 🤞🏼) to include my dedication to the community in RUBY ROSE, BIG BRAVOS (HarperCollins) written by Rob Sanders, illus by me.

Yay! Urban Tapestry added so much to Ookla's song "Still Can't Buy Me Love." We performed on two songs ("Leftovers" and "Teenybopper Love") on their album Myths and Urban Legends, where they also covered our song "Tiberius Rising." @debbieohi.com @allisondurno.bsky.social #filking #filkers

Getting all nostalgic now! You can also hear my flute & music partners (backup vocals) on the 10th anniv edition of Still Can't Buy Me Love, part of an early Ookla The Mok album - Listen here. Original version on cassette tape! cc: @randookla.bsky.social

Close-up of a book dedication page with dedications from the author and illustrator. Author's dedication: "For Betty, Joyce, and Lisa - mentors who cheered me on." Illustrator's dedication: "For the filk music community, especially Allison and Jodi, for helping me find my place onstage."

Children's book cover titled 'Ruby Rose Big Bravos' written by Rob Sanders, illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, depicting a cheerful young girl with brown hair in a pink tutu and ballet shoes, striking a dance pose with outstretched arms, accompanied by two friendly brown dogs, one standing and one sitting, against a warm yellow background.

Photo of a nervous-looking woman in a recording studio environment, holding a flute and wearing headphones, music stand and microphone nearby.

Speaking of filkers, I will remain forever grateful to @allisondurno.bsky.social, Jodi Krangle, & the filk community. I had *terrible* performance anxiety & avoided spotlight at all costs until their encouragement & support.
