I got a concerned look from my new doctor when he asked if I was depressed and I explained the Shapes Place to him, lol. Like, I’m the normal amount of depressed for a literate person who cares about other people.

I can see how that would be tough to balance, but I think you’ve done really well and I can tell a lot of thought went into it. I don’t remember ever thinking something was really too much or too little. Keep doing what you’re doing, I guess lol

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

You’re totally right. There are definitely recordings by others that I really like because of some of those imperfections, but I’m completely incapable of accepting that others probably like or don’t notice them in my own work. I suspect most creative folks have some version of it, lol

Too real. Some of my best music is unlistenable to me because of various editing and mixing mistakes even though most non-musicians have a hard time noticing them even after I point them out. It took me a solid 10 minutes to find the problem with her photo, and I still think it’s great.

There are no perfect protestors, no perfect political prisoners, no perfect way to resist fascist violence. The state sees us all the same. Ask the Haymarket martyrs. Ask Fred Hampton. Hold the Prairieland defendants close. Give them your support, your letters, your love. They WILL come home.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.” Additionally, motions 29 and 33 for acquittal and a new trial were denied from the bench.

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.
