Absolutely stoked to be a part of this upcoming production of She Kills Monsters with @restonplayers.bsky.social! #communitytheater #SheKillsMonsters #DungeonsAndDragons

I'll be speaking to the PWC School Board tonight, thanking them for keeping our LGBTQIA+ inclusive policies in place. You can watch the meeting below if you'd like. #lgbtqia+ #transrights #protecttranskids #pwcs #thankyoupwcs #nokings #fuckwhitenationalism

Jem and the Holograms – Jem and the Holograms! The whole neighborhood was obsessed when I was a kid, myself included. I probably still have the cassettes stashed away somewhere that came with the dolls (that mysteriously disappeared when we moved in '88). #outrageous #nowspinning #vinyl #40years

Folks I know will be there tomorrow. Assuming work doesn’t eat me alive I plan to be there.

PWC Schools are under attack by the #Trump administration and the school board is headed into closed sessions with legal consul to discuss it tomorrow. Please ask them to keep protecting #TransKids by asking them to keep their #LGBTQIA+ #inclusive polices here: www.pwcs.edu/leadership/s...

@repsuhas.bsky.social who is staffing with our career service men and women? It certainly isn't DoD and DHS at this point. They've made it clear they support a dictator, not our troops. open.substack.com/pub/saylork/...

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Weyes Blood – And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow Time for some mid-afternoon dream pop. ##nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #dreampop

Mikel – Middle-Earth & Chill This has seen more play than I expected it would when I first picked it up. It's just a lovely little stroll through the LotR soundtrack. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyl #lotr #chillbeats

Jesse Welles – Patchwork I could listen to this album on repeat... and have been. This hasn't left the turntable since yesterday and it's on its second spin today. #folkpunk #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyl #protestmusic

7/14/25 Laura Jane Grace – Adventure Club After some hell, we pulled ourselves together & went out with friends to the #MurderByDeath concert at #TheBlackCat in #DC & had a good time. #LauraJaneGrace opened the show & it was great to have all that #punk energy in the space. #nowspinning #vinyl

4/ A new tax break for coal companies! So the tax incentives for wind and solar are GONE, and the coal industry is getting NEW tax incentives. It's official policy now to to not just deny global warming exists - but to actively make it WORSE.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Excited for our upcoming #Dawnline #ttrpg with @kateofalltrades.bsky.social, @wildechilde.bsky.social, (and others not on Bsky) and run by my favorite vampire, @psychicmayhem.bsky.social! Here's the album list from our awesome last session! #ttrpgmusic #ttrpgsoundtrack

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor, dissenting It’s up to us now. #NoKings

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

A free to read article about how our tax dollars are being given to private corporations to brutalize families and deny them emergency services.

They're just adorable.

Two dead from our community due to Trump, Republicans, and disinformation news networks like Fox radicalising citizens. Neither of the Latino men who were harassed and then shot were undocumented immigrants (and, even if they were, they wouldn't deserve what happened to them). #homegrownterrorism

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The Code of Virginia defines transition-related health care as medically necessary and prevents health insurers from discriminating against transgender people. The SCOTUS ruling today does not change that law we passed with bipartisan support in 2020 (my bill HB 1429). Here’s the actual text:

6/17/25 Jesse Welles – Hells Welles Decompressing after ~15 hours of running a primary election and reading breaking news about our current police state. Time for a little whiskey and then bed. And then tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyl #electiondayva #folk

This week in being an elected Democrat: Thursday: United States Senator from California tackled/handcuffed for speaking. Saturday: Minnesota state legislators (one assassinated, one wounded) and spouses (one assassinated, one wounded) shot. Tuesday: NYC Comptroller handcuffed/arrested while walking.

Had an awesome time protesting with the family at the No Kings rally in Manassas! Good vibes all around and a ton of support from the local community and folks driving by the area. #nokings #3e #1stamendment #flagday #notinmycountry #abolishice

Documents obtained through FOIA reveal multiple intelligence centers are tracking protest planning and ICE-watch tools. Agencies are producing bulletins for “threat liaison officers.” This is a state infrastructure built to monitor political opposition. #3E

5/13/25 Green Day – Saviors (édition de luxe) I've been enjoying this album on the regular. Bobby Sox still might be my favorite off this album. Like, I dig all the political songs, but the bi whimsy intrinsic to the track just gets me every listen. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyl #greenday

Not all resistance wears a bullhorn. Some write letters. Some carry water. Some raise their voices. Some raise the spirits. Some paint banners, others hold them. Every role matters. This is a chorus, not a solo. Show up how you can. We need you all. #Resist

Join us at the No Kings rally in Manassas, VA this Saturday! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... #nokings #princewilliamcounty #resist #3e

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

NPR speaks with a British orthopedic surgeon who just returned from his fourth medical mission to Gaza. He says many people he operated on were civilians and were shot while trying to reach food aid.

We’re relieved that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the US and can be in contact with his family and lawyers who have been denied access to him for months. This wouldn’t have happened without the massive pressure put on Trump’s administration for this outrageous violation of due process.

Sold for a fucking dollar. Ridiculous.

6/6/2025 Murder By Death – Live... And Underground Never was able to make it out to one of their cave shows at The Caverns in Pelham, TN, so this will have to do. #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #folkrock #liverecording #MurderByDeath #TheCavernsAtPelham

Coming up on 2 weeks since, but! I'm still riding on the fun that was playing in the #Dawnline #ttrpg run by @psychicmayhem.bsky.social and played alongside @wildechilde.bsky.social, @kateofalltrades.bsky.social, and a few others not on Bluesky.

My family has been involved with the PFLAG org locally for years. It's been beautiful watching LGBTQIA+ folks connect and find community with each other and witnessing their loved ones go from feeling fear to allyship and celebrating them. The work PFLAG does is incredible.

Last night, the Manassas Park Governing Body voted unanimously for the Pride Month proclamation while the Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted 5-2-1 for its proclamation with the Democrats voting yes, two Rs voting no and one not voting. Celebrating our existence is partyline in PWC.

6/4/25 Murder By Death – Egg & Dart My good friend introduced me to these folks 15 or so years ago, and while it's sad to see them go, this is one hell of a swan song. Sleep well, sweet prince. #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #murderbydeath #indierock #folkrock #farewell

Cross-posting from the official Final Fantasy account on Twitter: This developer message from Yasumi Matsuno hits hard.

In Florida no less! Kudos!! We all need to be calling pur representatives!!

It's ridiculous that the idea was floated and carried out, but in the wake of terrible, this is at least decent news. Status quo maintained, I suppose. www.metroweekly.com/2025/06/park...

Abrego Garcia’s lawyers are back in court with a brief that unstintingly puts the government on a collision course with the courts’ authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Went to the VA Ren Faire with family and friends over the weekend and not only had a wonderful time, but returned home with a didgeridoo that I've been tormenting all with ever since. Will I stop? No. It's a didgeridoo not a didgeridon't. #varf #varenfaire #musicalmerriment #renfaire #virginia

Early voting in Virginia’s primary is happening now through June 14. Here is a forum with all 6 candidates for Lt. Governor. Thoughts? www.youtube.com/live/Zbic_2D...
