Joy of instruments and gear, distilled: yep, walk the show floor virtually with photographers @goestagraph.bsky.social and Mehdi Hassine.

👀hmmmm, wonder if there’s any vacancies?🤣🤭

I usually write songs for headphones, not museums. I'll explain later! 🤐 In the meantime, you can pre-save “And Which Way Is Up” on Spotify, Apple Music, or Deezer, and even opt to have all my future releases automatically added to your library. ffm.colortheory.com/andwhichwayi...

Kyiv is without electricity, heating, water; they have nightly attacks -- but these two are unstoppable. Kaximia talks to us about community and learning in Kyiv and internationally, plus why being conscious in your gear choices matters. And yeah, these are affordable and available, too!

I finally finished and got the plant in there, but someone snuck up while my back was turned for 30 seconds and took a bite! Now it is time to try again to run the tents based on VPD instead of heat and humidity. #growmie #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #homegrown #weed #mmj

#MineralMonday Here is a big dark green Tourmaline (var. Elbaite) crystal from Brazil. The variety of green colored Elbaite is known is Verdelite. Would you believe I bought this specimen for $33 at an auction? This is at least a $300 specimen.

I figured I should share this here. Be brave. Be kind. Be honest.

Tha Cathouse will pause today’s Friyay Vibes stream in solidarity with the strike happening nationwide✨✊🏽🫶🏽😤✌🏽✨🕊️

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

I can't believe I'm writing this but: free Don Lemon.

In solidarity with today's national shutdown and general strike in the US, atSynth will be pausing our regular programming, including weekday cat-and-gear pics and ongoing Buchla & Friends coverage.

#GVerse Yesterday in Chicago, federal agents violently forced a U.S. citizen to the ground and zip-tied her hands after alleging a “threat” witnesses say never happened. This is the violence the #Dems are refusing to fund. Hold the line. No blank checks for abuse. #ICEoffOurStreets

😆

tapping the John Waters sign over and over

Tech Bros are so preoccupied with turning their favorite sci-fi movies into reality that they're starting to resemble real-life Bond villains in the process.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

👀🤣

💯😒like…WTF?!

Plugin Alliance, with entities in the US and Germany, says there's no immediate impact of the NI insolvency on them. (This may also be true of some other international entities that are part of the larger NI group; that's been a question several people have been asking since yesterday.)

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

🤔🤣

This is not good news for the music production world. Yikes.

Pick a known film you wish you could see what David Lynch would've done with the material, whether you like the finished film or not. For instance, he was the first choice to make "Red Dragon" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and while I ♥️ those films--I would be delighted to see his versions.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

Let's get so loud about this that Congress has no choice but to impeach Kristi Noem:

👀🤣

Stop the bullshit press conferences. Just say what it is: this was murder by the government. We will go after everyone concerned and take them out if we have to. It should be that simple.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Hey hey 👋🏽 Hope everyone had a good week! Back and ready fur Friyay House Sessions at Tha Cathouse! 😎💅🏽 Come on down and get your groove on! Tha vibes start at 4:30PM PST✨😎✌🏽 #DJ #House #Music www.twitch.tv/djcrystallove
