Aw sweet faces. A friend of mine once said, “They’ll only break your heart once.” 💙

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Good lord! My partner is a linguist and I nearly fell over a chair in my haste to forward this to her.

I already convinced @noyoucmon.bsky.social that one of the best albums of the year is @old97.bsky.social Murry Hammond’s Trail Songs of the Deep and now I will convince you itsthemusicinmylife.blogspot.com/2025/11/albu...

Album Review- Murry Hammond- Trail Songs of the Deep

The Old 97s popped up with their break through album Wreck Your Life in 1995. The same year that gave us Wilco’s AM , the Jayhawks Tomorrow...

Thank you. I was ready to ask if this were bright orbs in formation photographed from a commercial flight window. Whew! 😅

Thanks for this! I know you’re a music fan as well —singer of our Old 97s just put out a solo record, and although he has no connection to the phenomena, he did a surprisingly moving song about abduction. Worth a listen. Thanks for all you do - loved Somewhere In The Skies! spotify.link/E9D0bSC5AXb

Holy smokes! My Old 97s will be recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Americana Awards at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville September 10. If that ain’t amazing enough, presenting our award will be the great and very cool Rosanne Cash. So honored!

Was a fun and inspiring afternoon playing with my 97s before Beto O’Rourke and Bernie Sanders at the Fort Worth stop of the Fight Oligarchy Tour. #hope #nokings #fightoligarchy

I plan to do that very thing, though my first one will be down in Portland (in July btw). I already had my first full winter here. I was cold and wet for four months but did fine. No S.A.D., at least not this time. :)

Isn’t it always a stack, haha. A Very Irregular Head: The Life of Syd Barrett (founder of Pink Floyd), Trinity by Jacque Vallee and Paola Harris, and because of certain adorable youngsters in my life, Paddington At Large by Michael Bond. ❤️

That’s odd. Like someone said could just be a house fire plus wind. But yeah, odd.

True, and frustrating for some of the witnesses, I’m guessing. An object I saw when I was young, as vivid as the memory is, there was just no point of reference, just an amber object moving against a twilight sky. Would love to be able to add distance, and thus size, speed, etc. to this memory.

Totally and my first ever hardcore show! DKs, MDC, Butthole Surfers and two local punk bands. They didn’t hit the “stage” (dangerous homemade wooden thing) until about 2am. I was in a fantastic amount of trouble when I finally got home, which was another 90 min drive away. I’d just turned 17. 🏴‍☠️

I live in a place called Port Orchard in the PNW. I’m far away from home today but this pic sent from home made me breathe, happily. Thank you for the reminder to dial it up.

And it could be punk or ambient. Lots of potential there.
