Jazz Cook 🇵🇸

If you didn‘t already know, the Feb 28 show is a fundraiser for my personal debts.

Life has been a struggle since leaving my job last year and ex the year before, and I haven’t even began to make ends meet—and now I have RBC at my door.

Please help if you can. <33

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland.

Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I just realized my phone autocorrected febuary, nooooo…

Line up change for the 1/22 show: In Framings will be joining us in place of Give My Remains to Broadway.

Alternatively, as Nick would want, consider donating to the PCRF in his honour — or both if it’s within your means. I know he would want that just as much, if not more.

I’ll miss you buddy.

His family are still fundraising to support the funeral costs and support Maddi’s bereavement. Please consider donating.

The first Sundowner show I went to, Nick was enthusiastic and brilliant, and stoked to meet a new friend. Every time I saw him, he was excited to share what was coming up and know what we were working on next. He was like that with everyone. Always ready to uplift the next person.

One of a kind.

YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
