Look. People. It's up to you. Just go to real live music events and buy real music directly from real artists. Ok? futurism.com/ai-music-lof...

I haven't been on here in a while but I hopped back on today to say holy fuck, America. Jesus Christ, America. My god, America. Why, America. How.

Facebook handed me a "five-years-ago-today" memory. I'm standing in a basement in Winnipeg, live-streaming a show for the first time ever, because the world has been shut down. Five years ago. So much has happened since!

Someone on a "buy Canadian" group just asked where she could buy Canadian spices, especially Paprika. Ma'am... the Spice Trade happened for a reason... Boycotts are fine but Isolationism is flavorless.

It's all so fucking terrible, but there are already heroes doing and saying courageous and resistant things. Amplify, amplify, amplify!

Today I began work in an incredible Theatre, as part of the cast of Indecent: A play with glorious music, about racism, homophobia, censorship, about the arts - and it was a crazy day to start a play like this, but also felt very right. Tell the stories. Never stop telling the stories.

I keep getting ads for nausea relief and I'm wondering if this is algorithmically based on my political views. #hmm

It's such a tiny moment of "OH MY GOD, SO BEAUTIFUL!!" before the "OH MY GOD THIS IS ALL I'M GOING TO SEE FOR MONTHS?!?" sets in.

I know it's cultural-appropriation-y, but if we could all just agree to break out into a full-on Maori Haka every time those proud little neo-nazis came a-marchin', that'd be pretty swell. Thanks. (taking suggestion for non-appropriation-y equivalents)

If a woman posts in a new platform with no followers, can the world still hear her?
