Medical debt, and its abolishment, is confusing. Here, I try to break it down. I hope you enjoy!

when I started making music I dreamed of nobody even knowing what I looked like unless they'd seen me play live. I didn't put a single picture of myself on a record for 25 years. I hold the tyranny of the visual to be a general plague and the imperative to be seen in motion lest one vanish a loss

One of the most rewarding parts of higher education, for me, was building cross-generational relationships. My favorite class had myself, a couple 20- and 30- year olds, and two 70+ gentlemen enabled by this program.

What are you doing November 9th? We’ll be (god willing!) recording a live show with a focus on originals and old-time faves. No cover, just pop in and grab a drink at the Kentucky Coffeetree Cafe in Frankfort between 4 and 6!
A poster on a corkboard with other posters. It’s brown and sepia, with text over a photo of the band sitting in a radio studio (WMKY). Clay and Anabel sit as if working, looking up from their papers and microphones at Violet. Violet sits on the central desk and plays her fiddle.

The text reads: VIOLET AND THE NEWSROOM - COUNTRY & FOLK COVERS - OLD TIME FIDDLE TUNES - ORIGINAL MUSIC - NOV 09 4-6 PM - KENTUCKY COFFEETREE CAFE - 235 WEST BROADWAY STREET, FRANKFORT, KY 40601 - NO COVER, RECORDING LIVEBusiness cards on a business card corkboard. A hand (Clay’s) holds a card reading “VIOLET AND THE NEWSROOM” in white over a monochromatic green background of violet flowers. The reverse side (pinned to the corkboard behind his hand) reads “VIOLET & THE NEWSROOM - VIOLET - ANABEL - CLAY - ACOUSTIC FOLK STRING BAND - KY, USA - newsroom.band” there is also a QR code that leads to the same website. Handwritten on the card is: “BOOK US FOR YOUR PARTY, WEDDING, BACKGROUND TUNES”

How are Black farms in Kentucky staying afloat amidst federal support cuts? @anabelrose.bsky.social, the Rural-Urban Reporting Fellow for CivicLex and @nextcity.org, just wrote a really terrific piece looking at that question from a local lens. Give it a read! news.civiclex.org/what-it-take...

As federal support is cut and public conservation efforts fall short in reaching rural Black farmers, one Black-led organization is creating new lifelines to protect historic legacies.

Great crop of rainbows at the rainbow farm this season! We got to paint flower markers after the show! 🌷🌹🪻
Three people kneeling in the grass in front of a barn with a rainbow “Loving Farm” sign painted on the side. The three people hold hand-painted signs. Violet holds one with the word “Violet” written in cursive with a drawing of the flower beside it, Anabel holds one with the word “rose” printed over an ombre pink/orange background with little pink roses in the corner, and Clay holds one with the word “pokeweed” with a painting of pokeweed on it.
