Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians and to all the folks who wish they were Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

Hey folks, if you are in NYC, a film I scored, “For the Love of a Woman”, is playing at the Quad Cinema for the next couple of weeks

One of my main guiding principles as a parent is: Be into whatever they are into We’ve been into dinosaurs, wheeled machines, Lego, Rube Goldberg contraptions, fantasy and sci fi, making comics, baseball, building computers, and now we have arrived at Angine de Poitrine and I’m 100% here for it. 🤘❤️

I don’t know why, if it’s lack of staffing or increased vetting, but crossing back into Vermont from Quebec on hw89 has been ridiculously gummed up for months, plus the nexus lane is closed. What is normally an easy trip now contains a detour to one of the small backroad crossings, if its open.

I thought, as I took a video with my fucking phone of everyone making triangles with their hands, that it’s so awesome you can’t hold a fucking phone in the air while you’re making a triangle with your hands.

Such a great show

These French Canadian polka-dotted rockers melted our faces off

Hello

This is an attack on women. Most caregivers are women and when they leave the workforce to look after family members this program reimburses them and builds the caregiver’s social security

Excellent piece about a universal but weirdly taboo topic.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads and to the moms who fill-in as dads

There is still time to see “Steal This Story, Please!” More screenings across the US and Canada: stealthisstoryplease.official.film

Steal This Story, Please! came to Burlington along with director Carl Deal and Amy Goodman herself. Amy is so inspiring. You could feel a fired up energy building in the room. Its momentum, 200 screenings so far, is remarkable for an independent film with DIY distro. It gives me so much hope.

The ACA couldn’t save my husband but it saved us from bankruptcy. I am glad I had a chance to thank Obama in person.

I’m not planning on kicking the bucket anytime soon but when the time comes I think my epitaph should say something about how I did the dishes even though I didn’t want to.

Say a person has never been to a Costco, what are they missing? Asking for a friend

The Haskell Library and Opera house sits on the border of Canada and America. Trump cut off access to Canadians last year so a new door has gone in on the Canadian side. This is where I want to have my next record release concert, in both of my countries at the same time.

A cake picnic. Not just on the White House lawn but the length of the Mall too. So many cakes. Everyone invited.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of my Natoma album I will be hosting a cage match in the garden in front of my studio. Cellos vs violas vs violins.

Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day

Gross I wonder if any parallel matchmaking services exist for the inverse: successful women shopping for a male “tradwife” 🤔

Hey Burlington VT, there is a new fishmonger at the farmers market this year: Coast Fresh Seafood. He drives from Maine and back every Saturday with a haul of fresh fish, most of which he catches himself. The fish is EXCELLENT, like nothing in town, but sales are not great so he might not stay.

Do you remember when Google made a change to its terms of service saying that any music uploaded to Content ID would from then on automatically be included in YouTube music, and if you didn’t accept, then you couldn’t earn revenue from your songs in 3rd party videos? www.imdb.com/news/ni58208...

Does anyone know if something is going on with Meta? I can no longer log in to Instagram or Threads. I can log in to my artist page on Facebook but I can’t post anything 😬

“I don’t reflect too much, I live now. It’s always now” RIP iconoclast David Hockney!

“We could talk or not talk forever, and still find things to not talk about”

Who wants to go in with me on an urban commune where we make art, meals, buy as little as possible, ride our bikes and if anyone brings a fucking smartphone into a common space or posts to social media about our socialist paradise they are immediately kicked out?

Google Asserts That YouTube’s Terms of Service Allow It to Train AI Models

Wee Inky has cancer that has spread. He’s only 5 and it feels too soon. The way things were going, I thought last week would be his last but he has reverted to a kittenhood of sorts: chasing string, rolling in catnip, flopping on his back for belly rubs. We are giving him all our love ❤️

Most of adult my life I’ve paid 15.3% of everything I earn towards Social Security and Medicare, just like every self-employed person does. It’s a little peace of mind to know this will be there when my hands can no longer play the cello. If republicans fuck with this it’s called theft.

I love sitting on the porch in the fading summer light and hearing the distant sound of my son practicing his saxophone.

So if a person divides their time between Canada and the US, and drives their Canadian registered EV across the border, they would be prevented from doing so? Say goodbye to the remaining Canadians who haven’t yet thrown in the towel on the US

Another day in this hellscape

Let me tell you, losing your soulmate is crushing. If it happens to anyone in your circle, visit them, call them…a lot. And keep calling. RIP Marjane Satrapi

Administrative expenditures consume more than 40% of total hospital spending

If you’re in NYC this weekend, I have a few minutes of music in this cool new film at the TriBeCa festival by Sean Ono Lennon about the avant-garde NYC fashion collective threeASFOUR

Steal This Story, Please! finally screening in Vermont at VTIFF on June 18 and 20

I think high deductible plans are meant to make you thrifty about going to the doc? But if you reach that amount with one costly medical event it’s like, ooh boy, what else can I get done this year? That knee replacement! How about that deviated septum! All the things you don’t pursue because of $$$

Is there a latitude where I can spend 15 mins in the sun without burning and freckling? Asking for my red face.

Meta also prevented her from going on a book tour for her own book last year, which might be why you haven’t heard of it. “Careless People” is beyond shocking. You really should read it immediately, so you’ll understand that Zuck is THE WORST of the nerd reich.

(fails captcha) ok fine, I’m a robot

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

PSA: you could have the cake for dinner and the salad for dessert

Everyone please praise Inky, our sweet void cat who is one of the pair of kittens we adopted during the pandemic. He was just found to have a massive, inoperable tumor in his stomach. All we can do is love him for his remaining weeks 😢
