I wrote a song from my deepest blue feelings a while back… it’s called “From the Bottom of the Ocean”, and it’s finally surfaced on streaming services worldwide. These are murky times, friends — we need a few theme songs to match the vibe. 🌊🌊🌊 p.s. lyric video on my YouTube channel! Link in bio!

My new single, “Kiss Me” (yes, THAT “Kiss Me”!), is out TODAY on all streaming platforms (just in time for Valentine’s Day)… to all my fellow 90’s kids, this one might make you feel as nostalgic as it makes me. ❤️ #kissme #halieloren #newsingle #valentinesday #90spop (Photo by Bob Williams)

The animal brigade, inflatable and otherwise, brought the magic in Eugene, OR today! They were EVERYWHERE! Thousands of community members peaceably expressing themselves with creativity & joy out in the gorgeous weather + a T-Rex-led dance party = a great Saturday. #NoKings #EugeneOR #EugeneOregon

TODAY (Saturday, May 17) at Tsunami Books in #EugeneOregon, Shadow Sway (duo featuring me on vocals/piano & Daniel Gallo on guitar) play a concert of mostly original music with lots of heart, and we’d love for you to join us! I am SO needing this kind of evening of music! 🙌 (1/2)

“You’re a paper man moving fast as you can. You hear but don’t listen, know, but don’t understand - can’t bear the weight, no, not a paper man.” So fun to play my song “Paper Man” in London, UK with these incredible musicians a few years ago.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Pay. Attention. To. This AND CALL YOUR REPS.

A screenshot of a Politico Pro Breaking News Alert headline. The headline reads, "Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of all federal aid." The subhead explains that the freeze, ordered by President Trump's budget office, suspends all federal financial assistance, potentially halting payments to states and U.S. households relying on aid such as SNAP food assistance. A memo cited claims that Social Security and Medicare will not be affected. The memo includes a statement criticizing the use of federal resources for "Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies," calling it a misuse of taxpayer dollars. Three people verified the memo's authenticity.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Waiting until 9:30 pm, as I’m winding down for the night, to take the day’s first little scroll through my socials has been… an unwise choice. I think I’ll go back to listening to Sarah Vaughan, petting my cat, and dissociating for a little while longer. Because otherwise, it’s all #endlessscream

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.” MLK Jr
