Everything is utter shit right now. I don't know where to turn. I need established things and community support to give me comfort. There's only one rule of the internet I'm any good at following. Please: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brq-...

Andi asks the Party Coach what he’s seen change about party culture over the years, and he barely pauses before answering: "Having a good time or doing things just for the sake of doing them has become such a luxury that it’s almost looked down upon."

Y'all have to be on the same internet as me today, so you get to read the lyrics to one of my favorite John Prine songs. "In an Appalachian Greyhound station, she sits there waiting, in a family way. "Goodbye, brother. Tell mom I love her. Tell all the others I'll write someday."

I just got... an apology... from the owner? Who is taking that staff member off music nights?? And offered us double to come back??? And who put a musician in charge of booking music?? *looks around, confused* Did somebody just do the right thing? Because I thought that didn't happen anymore.

My integrity cost us some money, so if any of y'all wanna help get my Patreon closer to album-release threshold ($750/mo), www.patreon.com/c/infamousfi...

So. Quick story: I am a very good musician, with 38 years of experience playing the violin/fiddle, and a trained, albeit whiskey-low, voice.

Sometimes growing older, as a woman, feels a little bit like . . . "Am I insane? Or did I just get so fucking tired that I spontaneously sprouted standards?"

I have just been thinking about that today, for some reason.

I enjoy viewing Kiki's Delivery Service through a lens of burnout, autism, and trying to unlearn valuing myself solely for productivity.

It seems many of you have gotten a jump start on your #MTGStrixhaven education! We're proud to be in the New York Times Bestseller ✨Top 10✨for Hard Cover Fiction. Congratulations Seanan!

This was such a delicate needle to thread, and I enjoyed every minute.

If you're in the Seattle area, this is your reminder that I will be signing OMENS OF CHAOS at Zulu's Board Game Cafe in downtown Bothell from 2pm to 6pm today! This is my last official, non-ticketed signing for this book (all others are inside events with door fees). The store WILL ship.

Its like you have to pay for any good thing you get by not being too happy about it. Like you have to keep being sad at some level otherwise you're not suffering enough? and have nothing really to complain about?

I nearly said to a friend, "we couldn't come home looking too happy or mom would think we were pregnant," but I stopped after hearing the sentence in my head.

One of the sad things about being a kid who grows up with abusive parent(s) is that if you mention or enjoy happiness at the wrong time, it turns out you forfeit it. It's not just that home isn't safe and bad stuff happens there, it's also that you're not always allowed to enjoy what IS good.

when you don't have creative people involved we can tell

The DM: Your warrior bard took an ancient curse upon herself in times of yore. Player: Yeah! Okay, curse, I'm into it, sounds metal. What happens?

Two more gigs left, both on Tuesday. Our early gig is a private party, but our later gig is at Moon Bar in Madison, WI, 7:30-10:30. You'll find it if you take Gorham down offa state and stop before you get to Riley's Wines of the World.

Men perceive conversation "as being “equal” when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time." (See Dale Spender) Many musicians of other genders out there. They're "perceived" as getting stage time. They aren't. Go look.

I wish this surprised me.

I hope this is largely true, despite the McGregors of the world.

I have had some sobering reminders lately of the gender disparity among musicians. Could y'all do me a favor? If you see a favorite music venue's monthly schedule and it has 0-5 female headliners/frontfolks per month, will you send a polite little email to the venue letting them know you noticed?

Good advice from a rockstar I know!

Going out for St. Patrick's Day? Here are some great tips from my favorite fiddler on how to have a good time while supporting your local working musicians. Hint: it involves hydration, tipping, and not requesting Danny Boy unless someone died (and you're ready to tip)

Danny Boy costs $100 The Unicorn Song costs $100

Good morning! I love pie and math but today I must focus on the one time of year where everybody can tell I'm a rockstar. Keeping that firmly in mind, here's some tips for the day when everybody's a little bit Irish (except the Scots, they're still Scottish, but we welcome them on this day also):

Find the Tooles! Where are we off to? Saturday, 3/14 (bring me pie!) Irish Parade post-party, 4:30pm-7:30pm, Prairie St Brewing Rockford, IL 61107 Sunday, 3/15 Lone Girl, 3pm-6pm, 114 E Main Street, Waunakee, WI 53597 Tuesday, 3/17 Moon Bar, 7:30pm-10:30pm, 328 W Gorham, Madison, WI

Every time someone mentions a Turing Test I want them to pump their fists in the air about queer excellence and then go donate $50 to anti-conversion-therapy charities IMMEDIATELY

@infamousfiddler.bsky.social: "This is interesting." Me: "Isn't that obvious?" Amy: "Actually it has a lot of details, like the difference between casual and professional artists in context." Me: "...yeah, the hed and subhed do not do the article justice." hyperallergic.com/suffering-fr...

TONIGHT in Lake Mills, WI! TOMORROW in Janesville, WI! Come see me play the fiddle! Come sing along so I feel strong!! Lake Mills, 6-9pm tonight 3/6 at Sunshine Brewing Janesville, 7-10 tomorrow 3/7 at O'Riley and Conway's Irish Pub

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

I like to sing little songs and parodies to my pills when I take them. "Cy-clo-benzaprine" scans to "This Is Halloween" and "Hydrochlora-thiazide" scans to "Alexander Hamilton."
