I made this meme for a joke specific to my #Franatic group chat, but I feel like it has broader potential. lol

Here's the complete schedule of events, with Frances's gigs highlighted. They're all free. The two tailgates are "unplugged" in the Red Rocks parking lot. The "Silver Linings" and "Bramily Brunch" events have amplification.

Hey, I'm so sorry I never replied to this. But yes - it was an AMAZING show!!

And Frances will be back in Colorado very soon - she has several gigs as part of the #Bramily festivities around Brandi Carlile's Red Rocks weekend next month, including a free show 2 weeks from tonight at Brewability.

And if you're worried about violence this weekend, imagine how much worse it'll be if there's no immediate action to hold *these* assholes accountable.

If they get away with roughing up a senator at a press conference, then protesters will be killed. It's a straight line.

I realize this criticism is so common as to be almost cliche at this point, but FOR FUCK'S MOTHERFUCKING SAKE, this is perhaps the most egregious example I've ever seen of the @nytimes.com catastrophically failing to describe fascism as fascism. What the FUCK is wrong with them?!?

Proud of the #Rockies. When they got their 9th win of the season on May 23, with seven games still to go in May, the doubters and naysayers didnโ€™t think they could make it into June with single-digit wins. But I always believed. And by God, they did it.

One more @statsfm.bsky.social chart:

Week 1 of Frances Whitneyโ€™s debut EP vs. Week 1 of @jensenmcrae.bsky.socialโ€™s sophomore album.

Pretty similar totals! 107 vs. 104.

Mind you, "Theo's Party" was only released on March 7. If @statsfm.bsky.social was able to include all the times I listened it pre-release as a Local File (initially my unofficial MP3 edits, then the demos that Frances sent me), it would be *way* ahead of anything else. Probably >100 streams total.

And here are my top songs of 2025 so far.

@jensenmcrae.bsky.social's "Tuesday" is #4 for the calendar year to date, even though it's only been out for **SIX DAYS**, so that's impressive, lol.

Lily Fitts #2 and #5 with two major earworms.

Frances Whitney's gorgeous "Theo's Party" #1 as expected.

Folks, please fact-check thoroughly before spreading viral posts about tariff impacts. Claims of currently-empty ports and all that. Thereโ€™s a lot of misinformation going around. Letโ€™s have a bit more media literacy and skepticism than the MAGAs, please.

#Gaylors of Bluesky, help me spread the word about this! ๐ŸŒˆ ๐Ÿซถ

Not only is Frances a fellow #Gaylor, her Seattle opener Avery Cochrane is also #queer and has a fantastic song about #comphet called โ€œExistential Crisis at the Tennis Club.โ€

(Frances is in Seattle 5/6, Denver 5/10, and San Diego 5/14.)

I don't have anything clever to say about this. Just understand: the collapse of American constitutional democracy, and the rise of authoritarian fascism, isn't a looming menace, it's present reality. America is a fascist country now. Our government is a fascist regime. What are we doing about that?

I *want* to finish the new @jensenmcrae.bsky.social album, but I'm on my third consecutive listen of "Tuesday," and I may need a few more before I can proceed.

Reminds me a little bit of the first time I heard "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" in the produce aisle at King Soopers.

Um, @jensenmcrae.bsky.social?

HOLY. SHIT.

I brought down thะต moon for you
And you put out the light
Like Judas giving Jesus onะต kiss
Fuck it, maybe Brutus' hand slipped

I don't wanna talk about how
You can't remember it now
How holding my hand left a bruise
'Cause it was just Tuesday to you
