Reid

“Dear Reid, I’ve missed the 23-person psychedelic-spiritual-existential-end-of-capitalism band you’re a part of.”
Great news for you, random friend/friendemy: This Friday, June 6, at Cat’a Cradle Back Room. Full band, horns, string section, 9-person choir. Tix: catscradle.com/event/soda-w...

Yeah, how is Durham tenable for working class folks?

Been a long time since you’ve been able to heckle Reid at the beach.

Ok so I’ve decided that Schooner can only play release shows or on the beach now.
Original lineup (KJ/RJ/Billy/Tripp w/ Nathan) at The Sandspur (Carolina Beach) on 6/7, again w/ our longtime buds Summer Set bc what the hell, three in a row’s a winning streak.

Bring the fam & your bathing suit.

How do you pick up people at the grocery store isn’t everyone also laser focused on executing their shopping list in the most efficient way possible

NC Voters Must Fix Ballots in 15 Days or Be Disenfranchised, Court Rules Read more here.

Once again Dems are forced to accept that winning a majority of votes isn’t nearly enough. Republicans on the NC Appeals Court just proved they're perfectly willing to change voting rules long after election day to ensure that D votes are never enough. #ncpol

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks.

My friends apparently don't gossip, which is great until you have to repeat yourself over & over about total gossip material.

As predicted, they’re coming for NMAAHC www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Low information dude voters - lines up.

Def what it says to me!

On the apps these days, & bruh, if you’re “not political” or “moderate,” jfc wtf are you even.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

I did used to chat with folks in several bands about sharing a calendar to help prevent this!

Had that on my calendar before learning the night we were playing the Cover Up, dangit!

Ok this is tonight. Me, @eriechoir.bsky.social, Josh, & Ben go on at 8:25. I got a jean jacket and black Chucks for the first time since middle school.

Big rock n’ roll weekend.

Friday night: Playing the Great Cover Up at Kings in Raleigh with @bluereid.bsky.social and others

Saturday Night: Playing a great benefit at @catscradlenc.bsky.social with @thekingsburymanx.bsky.social @themayfliesusa.bsky.social @kimware.bsky.social and Tacoma Park

No one should take this deal in general, but also please note this whole thing is a heist. They will not be paying you

Notes on fascism vs oligarchy, which are cousins, but we should probably refine our messaging on, then make it palatable for non-educated folks.

Ah yes, an unchecked oligarch “deleting” (wtf does that even mean?) popular programs that actually help people.

Everything that benefits the public is on the cutting block.

Ha he lied we’re doing TLC

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

Since Reagan this has been the goal - now with a demagogue in charge & the wolves at his side.

We're all suckers.

Got yr tickets yet? I’ve wanted to play The Wake Forest Listening Room for a while. It’s gonna be special. Two sets, one totally solo and the 2nd w/friends like @bluereid.bsky.social , @rachelkiel.bsky.social , Jesse Huebner, Matt Vooris, and @rodneyevans.bsky.social . Come on down. 🙂

They’re trying to exhaust us all to where we fall into apathy - the tried & true authoritarian playbook.

Stay focused & vehemently take care of each other - esp those most at risk.

Stopping NIH studies on cancer research is some real sociopathic super villain shit.

Please remember that ICE sightings should be carefully verified before sharing. Incorrect information, even with the best intentions, can cause panic and lead to missed appointments, school, work, etc.

Chief Justice Newby is mad at us, y’all. He says we shouldn’t chastise Griffin for trying to steal an election that he lost by 734 votes.
