I think it should be required for voter registration AND to run for office. Idiots who don’t understand how the government works are voting in other idiots who ALSO don’t understand how government works.

For Black History Month, we’ve been covering some great jazz artists. Today I got to watch elementary students absolutely fall in love with Ella and Duke performing β€œIt Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” on the Ed Sullivan Show back in the 1950s.

In what little I’ve read from them, ProPublica seems to be disinclined to bend the knee to anyone telling them what/how they can say things. You’d be great for the jobβ€”I think you should apply!

Brilliant takedown of the DOGE bluster. Turns out there is law, after all.

Two new tracks of traditional carols, arranged and recorded by yours truly! December 6 is Bandcamp Friday, when the site waives its fees and 100% of revenue goes to artists. Come listen for freeβ€”try before you buy!β€”at jenmidkiff.bandcamp.com

It’s a fantastic album! The title track in particular has gotten me through some frustrating times in my life, but all ten songs are great! Beth wrote some amazing songs, and you have done a great job bringing her vision to fruition! Everyone should go give this a listenβ€”and then buy it!!

Today I get to hang out with a local author to brainstorm a spoken word/harp improv event proposal for a local bookstore, and then have band practice at a friend’s house. Need these days more than ever, right now. Let the music flow!

So the GOP is just currently covering up potential sex crimes against children by one of their members and instead of releasing the report, they are trying to make that person the Attorney General of the United States? Do we have that right?

Can you check and see if it still says that, and let me know?

Bummer. I wish you luck in the job search. If I hadn’t already paid for the January event I probably wouldn’t go; we need to be saving up an emergency fund, & then we got hit with $3K of medical bills. I do envy you the scenery out thereβ€”I always appreciate when you post pictures of the mountains!

Okay, I’m finally trying this one out. I quit X before it was X, and never missed it, but I have a lot of friends migrating here both from X and from FB, so I decided to sign up. With the coming governmental sh*tshow, we will need all the secure ways to connect that we can find.
