About to start, in 5 minutes!

I'll be LIVE on the ACTUAL RADIO this evening! Show begins at 7pm (in about 3 hours) and I'll play a ~30-minute set at some point after that. You can listen online! kfjc.org/live/ The theme is women covering songs by men...

Your sex is none of the state's business. They don't get to tell you what it is, and there is literally no reason for sex markers to appear on driver's licenses or any other form of government ID.

Alan Moore’s latest novel has an acknowledgements section in which he thanks the universe, a moon goddess, and a python god. it also includes this line: “Existence is a stupefying stroke of luck and we should all feel grateful to be part of it, even when much of it's on fire and overrun by Nazis.”

I'll bet that few people are aware that the FBI opened its file on her in 1955 until she died in 1962. They did so when she started dating Arthur Miller who she eventually married in 1956. Miller was suspected to have communist ties. time.com/4346542/radi... - Sweeney could never...

Your playlists are now part of your collection page—the perfect opportunity to show off your taste!

I don't use Poshmark very much, being using Ebay for decades. Yesterday I faved a bunch of things on Poshmark and today I have several messages saying "So-and-so has started styling you" and I am UNBELIEVABLY creeped out and may delete my whole account.

Doing a Twitch practice stream in 30 minutes! www.twitch.tv/unwoman

We all know that "back in the good old days" sort of talk is broadly nonsense and "back in my day we didn't have XYZ social concern" is usually incomplete thinking, but sometimes I think that doesn't give enough credit to the ways the past was progressive. This is from a 1959 YMCA teen manners book.

I know everybody wants people to be flaming Chicks about it but I’m gonna accept this from Martina. In country music speak this is basically Malcolm X “the chickens coming home to roost”.

anyway if anyone wants to hire an arts administration reporter with lots of experience with legacy bands hmu 😂 www.billboard.com/music/music-...

*This thread is pretty good erudition-wise, but I'm looking forward to way more AI-powered "AI-Rejectionism" *There are so many radically different things wrong with AI that only AI technology could keep up with it

Co-signing all of this as a working writer across multiple mediums (fiction, non-fiction and playwrighting) who has never used AI in my life and never will! I have disabled any autocomplete or AI feature in every program across every device! People telling you lies are trying to SELL you lies!

I still think the strongest strategy is to go left and inspire huge turnout among the base. But a strategy like that can also be broadly appealing. You can win a lot of people by promising to make their lives better. Moderation and incrementalism fail at both. Unapologetic progressivism can win.

credit where credit is due: @birdrespecter.bsky.social and @junlper.beer from @killthecomputer.com took down the merch and donated the proceeds (and extra) to trans law center <3

And that's Young MC out from the State Fair, too.

VERY important read about an important documentary (I haven't seen yet) on abuse in classical music.

Morris Day and The Time responds: "Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair.'"

I mentioned before, all my future "making a living in music" answers will be simply advocating for UBI (full communism if I can get away with it)

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Jesus. EVERYTHING is a subscription nowadays.

Hot Hutt!

Coolest way to find out there's a shirt printer in my little city!

"You know what AI can't do? It can't do what you do" I keep telling my students this repeatedly. In every flawed, broken, half-thought out word or line or drawing you produce, there is more thought, creativity, and joy than there ever could be in gAI output. Don't let them stop you.

Here's my parenting tip: Stop making laws that hurt LGBTQ+ kids.

By sheer numbers, CA has it. There are a lot of Californians and many hate LA.

I'm finishing off a week of goth-ish-ness with this CLASSIC by The Cure unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/a-forest All sounds on this album are cello & vocals, with some digital manipulation. (day 129)

If Stevie fucking Nicks ever bodied me like this, I’d simply walk into the ocean, never to be seen again.

As promised: The counterfeit Q-Tips. Easy to spot if you look at the poorly proof-read copy on the back of the package…

It's World Goth Day, let's see your gothic art 🖤

Practicing electric cello & vocal live-looping tonight! First stream since 4/30. Starting in 23 minutes... www.twitch.tv/unwoman

I got counterfeit motherfucking q-tips on Amazon and they blocked my review reporting it

Tomorrow night in Oakland! Halou (with whom I play Rhodes and sing backup) is on last.

Tonight’s the last episode of #StephenColbert Fun Fact: Stephen’s first appearance on TV was on my show, “The Friday Club,” back in ‘85. We had his improv group as guests. Friday Club ran five years. Only a couple eps are on YouTube, including Stephen’s: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOpE...

Continuing the leadup to #WorldGothDay! Here's an early Siouxsie deep-ish cut. I made a breakthrough in how I layer harmonies in my production here, in 2013. unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/overgr... (day 126 of 365 Unwoman tracks!)

I am liking Symphonic for digital distribution so far, pleased my album got approved in 1 business day, but it's very irksome that one "bullshit" in a song gets it an "explicit" label. Seriously??

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

"I'm not locked in here with you... you're all locked in here with me."

How did they find pictures of my nightmares 😳
