I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

The problem is white ppl keep scheduling these non disruptive no kings protests and then just going home instead of staying in the streets until something changes

Gather round kids and let me tell you about the olden days of flashback episodes, boxy tvs and dial up

An antithesis to fascism is community. Don’t lose hope. Connect and build.

i need to wiggle outside more so i can stop wiggling so much in my brain

A publicly-sourced archive of more than 10,000 national park signs and monument placards went public as part of a massive volunteer project to save historical and educational placards from around the country that risk removal by the Trump administration. 🔗 www.404media.co/save-our-sig...

WKDU’s EMM got me through a whirlwind of a day. Now to get what sleep I can before being awake for 36 hours. Here we go!

What a day…

*taps the sign*

Everyday I feel a little less silly for working out with weapons more than weights ⚔️

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

People keep waiting for "the thing," some kind of bright line that makes it all clear. There's already blood in the water. Clarity isn't coming anytime soon.

Looking forward to having the Tezhuna with us again for a full moon baptism pagamento ceremony and seed blessing. Grateful for the opportunity to host so community can attend for free.

Artist Guadalupe Maravilla is from El Salvador.

Working outside was definitely the right move today

Caught some real deal cooties in all my rippin’ & runnin’. Guess I’ll go sit down for a bit and put my apothecary to work. Ill-timed, but rest is welcomed.

The currents betwixt and around these eclipses have been strong and it’s been quite a ride. Thankful to have so many ceremonies this month to aid navigation. Sweats, good medicine, good folks. May our prayers for peace and healing ripple outward with love. Ahó! Ashé! Haux! Ometeotl!

I find myself in churches more and more these days. After decades it finally doesn’t feel like an assault on my nervous system just for walking through the doors. I actually feel at peace sitting in the pew. Maybe because it’s for banjo and not for a sermon. Grateful for growth/healing either way

Tonight’s the night! Storytelling has always been near and dear to me since I was a kid. My heart is filled with joy from just the mere anticipation of the amazing lineup on deck for this!

Got excited and may have gone a lil nuts eating cherry gum. Turns out it’s full of cyanide. Whoops. Fingers crossed I don’t fall out 😬🤪

Forgoing the tent,staying up all night,basking under the stars by a fire from sun down to sun up while being serenaded by a symphony of eastern screech owls, great horned owls,crickets and katydids… why has it taken me so long to do this?! It will definitely be happening more often from here on out.

Laid back lake side

Bee taking a nap.. 😅

We all going through something real. Give grace to yourself and others. Practice patience. You’ll figure it out.

Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. “Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.

No one talks about the irritability that comes with depression enough for me.

A couple more meetings then I’m clocking out before I crash out. Like what are we even doing here?I’m already not listening and I think we all have better things to do. Holding my digital meeting emergency escape plan nearby… “Sorry folks, having some tech difficulties…” :::disappears::: 🫥👻

Today feels like a good day to get zooted, wander the woods and go to the vampire museum. Too bad I gotta push buttons and look at a screen 😕

Beyond excited to dig into this! Just got Funky Banjo from Súle Greg too. Ready to disappear into a deep dive 🙃🤿🪕✨

You can talk about phones and socials all you want but as long as parents and schools are being aided by the state in creating a paniopticon kids are going to have normal reactions to that and the normal reactions to living in a panopticon are bad

If you haven’t been doing some sort of preparation or training for when all this shit finally crumbles on itself, you’re too late. Start anyway though. Know your neighbors, be in community with folks who have skills you don’t, build your own skills & and be ready.

good medicine

Singing at the top of my lungs in a room full of queers, a walk by the water launching clouds, and a zig-zag drive through the city blasting house music… heavy heart and head ever so slightly lighter on.soundcloud.com/Z9kwI6PCjfRn...

Where’s all the Black folk studying banjo/fiddle and Black American Roots Music in Philly??? I know we out here somewhere 👀 gotta be more than just me who wants to frail, clack a spoon and shuffle a foot or two🫵 is it you?

just answered like 8 emails in a row plz clap

I can relate…

Love it! Written by African American composer and songwriter Charlie Smalls (1943–1987) who, as a musical prodigy, attended Juilliard from age 11 to 18 yo, toured with Jazz Repertory Company, and began work on The Wiz. Smalls won 1975 Tony for Best Score and 1976 Grammy for the show's album.

NEW: A sweeping new study finds three-fourths of North America's bird species are in decline Scientists say it should be a wake-up call for us since some of the pressures on birds — climate change, pollution, etc. — aren't good for people, either www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

This and so much more to see in the night sky. The Moon, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons… It never gets old. Looking forward to breaking out the work telescope more. Might have to take it on a field trip or few too

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

After hours museum time (sans children even though I love ‘em) is the best. Wandering empty galleries… chef’s kiss!
