World Central Kitchen has served over 500 million meals, by sending chefs into conflict and disaster zones around the world. I would gladly support a campaign to nominate chef José Andrés for the Nobel Peace Prize! The impact that he and his teams have made is extraordinary. #hero @wck.org

Did you know that if you buy my book on Amazon, Jeff Bezos makes 5 times as much as I do on each copy sold? Sharing some behind-the-scenes book math on why buying directly from presses is best for EVERYONE (except Bezos) in my newsletter today! aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/book-math

First snow of the year this week! Might as well play in it? #ski

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! #musicsky

Jack Kerouac reading + Steve Allen playing the blues ‘59 - so much promise for the future

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

I Love This!

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio. www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

We'll say it too: Fuck authoritarianism

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Wednesday morning in Bozeman, MT.

Happy to have a horticulturist in the family so that we can take these giant onions and turn them into bourbon-caramelized deliciousness! #foodsky

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

So where are the strong and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?

I’m still nerding out on this song FYI. #musicsky #beck

This can't be emphasized enough! One of the unique features of our many-layered healthcare delivery system, particularly for pharmaceuticals, is a lack of transparency on pricing. "List prices" are the prices that nobody ever pays. Evidence: Pfizer stock is up $7bb on the news.

Americans: My family needs healthcare GOP: No Americans: It is VERY important GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal Americans: I don’t need coal GOP: It’s all we have. Wait, here’s measles. Americans: But my kid is sick GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat. #RemoveTrump

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

This has been so fun to listen to! One hour left, folks!

Saw this nigella damascena (Love in a Mist) at the farm, where it’s being grown for flower arrangements. I love it! #flowers #wildflowers #flowersky

Hey fish folks, any guesses as to wtf is going on with this brown trout’s eyes? Caught yesterday on the West Boulder River. #flyfishing #fish #disease #trout #montana #browntrout #biology #vet

The good old days when the women fished and the men watched out for bears. Montana

From where I derive my powers. #MusicSky #artblakey #moanin'

Since it's Chrissie Hynde's birthday today, I'm posting her cover of this Nick Drake song so you all can be as obsessed with it as I am. #MusicSky

During today's grilling of RFK Jr, where the focus was on vaccines, Daines (of course) used his time to cite a partisan "study" that concluded 11% taking mifepristone had serious complications. Said health agencies lied about safety. #mtpol Explainer from KFF. www.kff.org/health-infor...

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

TIL that 14 years ago, Stephen King collaborated with Shooter Jennings on an operatic album. Fun! #Musicsky

We are all colors #MusicSky

This is my jam. Flacor RIP #tejano #accordion #musicsky

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

I’m Batman! #dog #dogsky

Tremendous crossover move right here:

I think you’ll like this John Craigie album from 2020 #MusicSky

Whether you’re waking up or winding down, this Thievery Corporation album, Saudade, sets a beautiful, peaceful, melancholy mood.

I’m a big believer in this! It’s too easy for people to cozy up in the corner with their phones, and these little “forced interactions” always result in great conversations!

Was at my local last night having a drink/reading and a road cyclist sat down post ride at the empty spot next to me. Ended up chatting for awhile, realized how much I missed riding - just put my clippless pedals back on. Cheers to communal seating and the small conversations they spark.

I stumbled upon this “illegal” labyrinth in Joshua Tree while roaming around, and have since brought other people out to enjoy it. Lovely spot! #parkchat #joshuatree

I mean he represents Billings with a violent crime rate of 888 per 100000. Which is more than Los Angeles. So im assuming hes pushing for troops there too huh?

A monthly employment report isn't a privilege. It's the law. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?e... h/t @claudia-sahm.bsky.social

Folks: Stop saying that the Metropolitan Police Dept. is under "federal control." The Home Rule Act allows the president to declare an emergency and make requests of the Mayor for MPD services. Chief of Police Smith continues to report to Mayor Bowser. code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/counci...

One thing that didn't make it into today's piece: Washington, DC already has by far the highest number of law enforcement officers per capita of any city of 250k+.

This version of Bowie’s Sound and Vision by Beck is crazy. Imagine what it took to pull this off - whistlers, yodelers, choirs, musical saws… it’s simply an incredible spectacle / performance that totally works. #musicsky #beck

We have two juvenile red-tailed hawks hanging around, learning to fly and hunt. Super cute behavior. No red on this tail - bird nerds, this is a red-tailed juvie, isn’t it? #birds #birdsky

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “Every Republican at every level of government should be challenged, even running for dog catcher… They should be challenged fighting for health care as a human right for every American… let them know there are consequences for taking away people’s health care…”

So sad to read this!

RIP Flaco Jimenez. One of my favorite accordionists EVER!! #MusicSky #tejano #norteno #conjunto
