If the dialogue around one single event could not be absolutely fucking stupid, I would have the smallest amount of hope. I need to be done with social media. What’s the point anymore.

Idk. Still working out how to be useful anymore, honestly. I’m embarrassed to be American. I don’t have it in me to celebrate. Grateful for cats, dear friends, little pieces of beauty scattered about, the ways we still manage to show up for each other from such overwhelming deficits. Hospitality.

omg they even ate the bones

I’ll rate your hotness on a scale of 1-10 in the replies just send a selfie and also tell more people to follow me I have to get to 1,000 followers or I can’t do the show tonight

Who am I gonna see tonight in DENVER??!

I’m just not sure “being mad about Black People celebrating that they got to be free” sends the whole “I’m NOT a racist” vibe you said you’re going for, man

Popping a nap Outside o’hare because AVIS has absolutely fucked me over and overbooked their cars by 30-40 by the looks of the line. Anyways, neat

Juneteenth has been part of my life now for eleven years. I was 25 before I learned about it because, as Ta-Nehisi Coates says, the people who are convinced that they are white have engineered their own forgetting.

I know it’s not realistic but white people shouldn’t get off work today.

Breaking: governor in state you drove through once says in theory he agrees that murdering dissidents is extreme.

Nobody asked but LeVar Burton is one of the best actors of all time. I love him so much. It’s hard to think of anyone who I think as highly of when it comes to progressive and innovative creators who have carved meaningful platforms.

I’m a little worried the state department of children’s services is going to intervene after the way I absolutely beat my kids ass in Tony hawk

Great news I just found out I’m actually an ancient light being and that is why I have IBS

You know who else was never vaccinated against COVID-19? Mussolini.

Last night, I was reminded of the power in the sacrament of storytelling & song, and the way it guides us to know ourselves and love each other, even when the world is upside down. @adeemtheartist.bsky.social thank you - it was a weird hard day, but also a beautiful evening I’ll always remember💜

Happy Fathers Day to the kid who inspired Rotations by crashing my birthday with being born. I couldn’t love you more, kid. Some days it makes me weep with heart ache that you even exist.

The biggest diff between Greta & Trump is that Greta is grounded in the larger story that began before her and stretches beyond But Trump never thinks beyond his own life. Greta Thunberg is humanity’s conscience, demanding better of & for all of us. Trump is humanity’s chronic IBS.

Grateful for new friends & treasured relationships but fuck if it ain’t said to lose people who you think are ride or die. Lot of those folks disappeared in the last year. Many. Most. I’m just feeling pretty sad about that today. The new bonds don’t magically heal the broken old ones.

Fuck all of these people and everyone that enables them so much. Sometimes I just cannot believe that this is the world so many of you wanted.

When someone break checks you in the fast line that’s called a North Carolina hello

This job is going to kill me. There is no question of that. I will die because I do this. I am positive.

"everyone who isn't trans is fuckin' stupid"- @adeemtheartist.bsky.social

Here it is — the extended cut of our interview with queer country singer-songwriter @adeemtheartist.bsky.social. We go deeper on wrestling with Southern history, gender identity and the frustrations of party politics in a moment that demands more. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Get some well deserved rest, B.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

This week: Talking Southern masculinity, racial history and queer country with @adeemtheartist.bsky.social! Plus: the GOP's war on Nashville Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social; DeSantis tightens his grip on Florida universities; and — Conan the Barbarian!

Thank you so much please keep streaming oh my god

Apparently Jay Leno has a sex cult now. He was a prince of late night wow they say don’t meet your heroes but dang

Gotta send a huge shout of gratitude to my pals at Tidal for including my new single Cowards Together on their PURE COUNTRY playlist! tidal.com/playlist/dc9...

When will we learn that Gay is for the Living?

Thousands of you have tuned in to hear my new single “Cowards Together” on Apple, Tidal, Amazon, Pandora, & Spotify! Thanks for saving it to playlists & sharing with your friends. It’s really such a kind thing. If you haven’t listened yet, what are you waiting for? 30tgrs.ffm.to/cowardstoget...

Tommy Jacklin opened for me once when we were doing a tiptoe into comedy and I told him “good luck” before he went on and he absolutely beat my ass because it’s “poor form” I had to do my show with a black eye but he fucking killed that night. Unreal.

@adeemtheartist.bsky.social hey, me again, your number one disciple, I used your selfie for my art challenge. Sorry for not asking. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Mpkukp/

My new song Cowards Together is out today with handmade art by mossymeadowscrafts. Super grateful to Apple for placement in Best New Songs and New in Country & to Tidal for putting us on Pure Country & a huge thanks to Pandora for putting us on the cover of the Country Pride station!

I was commissioned by Hollywood to write this for the captain marvel movies but they fired me for Rhett miller :(

I don’t understand a lot of things but there are somehow always more.

Also, I’m not quitting. I’m going to get better at this and eventually it will be sustainable & functional for uplifting other artists.

Still here & gay & all that

Should I… release a new single?

I am hopeful I will yet fruit again.

www.fourquartersrecords.com has some nice merch to help out

Atlanta, I’m so sorry. I’m stranded in Texas for a bit longer. We’ve rescheduled for June 17th so I’ll see you real soon. dice.fm/event/v3mne7...

We’re broke down in Texas with little clarity currently. Will update accordingly but, yeah, things suck lol

Shaboozey laughing at that comment about who invented country music? Best part of the show. #amas
