Today KEXP Drive Time! I'll be playing nothing but your favorite segues. Every time more than 3 people commented on a segue, I saved it for today! Why? Because it's our pre-drive and it's the one day I'm on my own asking you to make a gift to KEXP. Love a segue? Tip the DJ by going to KEXP.org.

weekend's events that take me back to 15 years ago but are actually worse? Not really. It takes two seconds to go on tiktok or facebook and do that yourself. I honestly don't understand why you take my comment as being the thing you choose to pick apart and be upset about (rather than a shooting)

Hi Catherine, Nearly 15 years ago, I lost two friends in a mass shooting at Cafe Racer. A place I would have been at, working on my computer in the corner like most days, had I not had a random meeting when it happened. In the aftermath of that shooting, myself and other friends and families of

It’s exhausting how much labor goes into having to protect spaces that were created for Native people, specifically because Native people are so often excluded, erased, spoken over, or are completely isolated in every other.

170

Kevin Sur @kevinsur.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Because of that, Native people working to create spaces that benefit their own communities (and others with shared experience) constantly have to defend those spaces from people trying to manipulate, stretch, and weaponize context around words like “Indigenous” in order to gain access to them.

Kevin Sur @kevinsur.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I try not to be too negative, but one thing I’m being reminded of with the job opening for Sounds of Survivance is that there are far more people willing to exploit Native identity for personal gain than there are Native people themselves (or at least right now, the math makes it feel that way).

So disallowing Black people from being a part of an organization isn’t racism? 😆😆😆 👌🏾

Kevin Sur @kevinsur.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

That’s laughable. Ruth played in an age when he only had to play against white people. And the Negro leagues owned him.

One of the things many people don’t know is that he won his first pennant at the age of 15! He played center field, was the defensive MVP of the series and helped the Birmingham Barons beat the Kansas City Monarchs.

Mahalo J! His name is Tau Moe and his wife Rose Moe played a huge part in the efforts. There are stories of her smuggling out fur coats of exiled Jews and when asked by the gestapo about wearing multiple furs, she’d say that island people aren’t used to the cold 😆
