tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 15/07/20253rd and 4th grade yep. PACKS OF TODDLERS. Spit slobber pinchy fingers and dirty diapers. Pretty sure most of the world still works this way. Big sister takes care of entire housing project/ neighborhood, parents work/ party . If Nixon hadn't vetoed universal childcare the 70s wouldn't be the same 030
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 15/07/2025On my first few tours not only did we not have cell phones. No one had a credit card - debit cards didn't exist - I'm not sure if ATM cards did but it wouldn't matter we had no money. We never had more than gas money to get to the first show. I didn't even bring my ID on tour until I was 21. 0111

tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 31/05/2025A few of mine include The 40 Year Old Version, Frances Ha, A Little Stiff, Mala Noche, Stranger Than Paradise 040

Reposted by @tobivail.bsky.socialMark Lewisohn @marklewisohn.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Back in ’64 George Harrison found a pic in which he scowled a V-sign with both hands – and had it printed life-size for his door and also as his year’s Christmas card. Plus it was a movie still and part of a Beatles album in France – and no one noticed the V-signs. Merry Xmas, George – and everyone! 910911
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 06/03/2025What makes a campus protest an illegal protest? Is any protest that is unsanctioned or banned by the institution illegal? Like is it the same as “unpermitted” ? 220
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I'm asking again - I am going to do this on Substack if I can't figure out a better place - please chime in - I know there are pros and cons ! 410

tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Can anyone recommend a resource about media consolidation in the late 20th century? 400
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 31/01/20251 play guitar every day 2 you can’t control other people 3 it’s ok to be alone, especially if you are a writer/musician/ artist 4 do your own work - it’s not selfish - creating culture is a social good - when counter hegemonic it’s one of the most radical things you can do to impact change 5 dance! 2111
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 31/01/2025My mom and I seemed to know Marianne Faithful was dying yesterday. Anyone else experiencing the psychic collapse of timespace “I’ve been having bad dreams” cue The GoBetweens Palm Sunday (On Board the S.S. Within) “wool in the hold / a blaze in the sky / the water so black/ you could make a shroud”. 220
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 31/01/2025If Substack is also bad where should I put my content ? Gxxglx hosts the blogs Amxzxn hosts everything, all of it is using fossil fuel we are renting, how can we own our shit? Even print comes from a digital file - where do we store our data - how to we communicate - network in a security state ? 100
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Since January 20th I have been canceling streaming services, stopped ordering from all corporate retailers in favor of small local businesses, deleted m3tA off my devices & become more mindful of my time /where I put “content”. I’ve been meaning to do this for years. These billionaires can suck it. 1222
tobivail.bsky.social @tobivail.bsky.social · 29/01/2025While the future of libraries is currently unknown, make sure you have as many library cards as possible and use them regularly. Libraries need active patrons. Books that get checked out are more likely to stay in the library system. Purchase requests also play a role in what books are available. 05512
