Coming up with a piano part for a new song…it’s a good practice to shake off the dust, laugh at the wobbles and trust things to come together across many days and sessions getting to know my own music better. I’m excited to see how these ideas take shape. youtube.com/shorts/0mVHP...

TFW every time you opened your phone in the past 1+ year has sent you into a blind rage at the rotted systems and corrupt people controlling our lives so you write some songs which feel outdated months later but you’re recording them anyway because sharing art is vital to our survival ✌🏻

New Substack up! substack.com/@annaspackma...

youtu.be/KslKWyr1MsY?... It was a huge honor to share these songs I’ve been writing in hopes of meeting the moment we’re in. May this momentum carry us back out into our communities with bravery, humility, and commitment to a more just world. #nokings @indivisiblechesco.bsky.social

youtube.com/shorts/nO0Hp... All these struggles across time and space are connected. Carsie Blanton, who wrote this song, was one of hundreds of international volunteers on the Global Sumud Flotillas trying to bring aid into Gaza, who were detained in Israeli prison and endured horrific treatment.

Latest Substack post (including a piece I wrote in memory of Andrea Gibson): open.substack.com/pub/annaspac... Make sure to subscribe 💖

Andrea Gibson wrote so many love letters - to people, to dogs, to illness, to pain, to caterpillars, to the moon, to poetry, from their endless well of reverence. Their love letter from the afterlife hits deep on this day of their departure for their earthly form. Thank you for everything, Andrea 💖

How much money did I make from fans streaming my new album and EP in the past year? Let’s find out together…. youtube.com/shorts/5vzCg...

New Substack post up with many updates! open.substack.com/pub/annaspac...

This bill is essentially a poll tax. Millions of people who changed their name due to marriage or transition, or can’t access their birth certificate, will have to pay for a passport. Eliminating phone/mail/online registration will force people to take time off work to register in person.

The House is set to take up the SAVE Act this week, which would make voting significantly more difficult for millions of people. Tell your representative to vote NO now.

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too. Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered. This is insane! Hands Off Her Vote

Left in my tip jar this weekend 🥹 Thank you friend. It feels miraculous for anything to inspire excitement about the future, and I’m so humbled by this message 💖

A little porch rehearsal for the show tonight at The Gem! Tix still available! Find hope with us 💖 www.thegemspringcity.com/event-detail...

A year ago today was the album release show at Steel City Coffeehouse for Precipice. There is no greater joy than getting to put the most tender human moments to music, and to share that music with other humans. Thank you for a year of sharing Precipice with me 💖

One week away! Join me, Larkspur Gunther, Queen Ebizmel and Moweh at The Gem in Spring City!

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

youtube.com/shorts/viPIb... Cutest rehearsal interruption ever 🤣 make sure to come out to The Gem on Saturday 3/29 to hear the full song!! Tickets: www.thegemspringcity.com/event-detail...

March shows coming up!! open.substack.com/pub/annaspac...

Updates!! 💕💕 youtube.com/shorts/YOr8N...

NEW: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said that the over $2 billion in federal funding allocated toward his state has been released following the lawsuit he filed against the Trump administration to unfreeze the funds last month.

Excerpts from @houlahan.house.gov town hall last night. Grateful for how she is holding herself and her colleagues accountable, and the transparency of this presentation of past and current projects. (1/2)

My response to McCormick’s BS defense of DOGE: resist.bot/letters/a521...

Keep up the pressure!! Even and especially on our Republican reps! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
