The cover of Democracy and Economic Power by Kelso and Kelso. Very blue.

I'm sad to share news of the passing of Patricia Hetter Kelso, a visionary advocate for democratic ownership and the widow of Louis Kelso, inventor of the ESOP. 

Her writing and conversation helped inspire my work around "exit to community" and more—see how: osf.io/preprints/me...

Palimpsesa, by Mal Devisa 29 track album

I'm deeply in love with Deja Carr's music, especially the simmering minimalist beauty of her bass-and-vocals approach. A lot of it has been hard to hear for a bit, so I think this bounteous new compilation will be a revelation:

Cover art for Ekko Astral’s new EP release ‘pink balloons: popped’ in which a black and white illustration shows the coat of arms of the United States turned upside down, and a dead eagle clutching pink balloons in its talons with a banner in its beak that reads "pink balloons go pop." One of three balloons is popped and there are four arrows in the air, pointing in different directions. Cover art by Mattie Lubchansky

Tomorrow morning at 11am ET, shit gets real.

nooo! east coast (dc + up) is the same to you because tbh mostly everyone there drives really predictably. main character transport. butterfly effect “not stopping at this shit ass light rn” mentality. most other cities are awwful. also i am formula 1 4d chess out there in the streets jsyk beep beep

I spent the last four months organizing what I believe to be the biggest and best music festival fundraiser for trans rights to ever happen in the US.

In Washington DC of all places.

Please buy a ticket and spread the word. 😁

“I’ve written articles that have produced investigative reports. I’ve done stuff that has made Trump officials stay up at night. I am proud of that work, but none of it has ever mattered as much to some kid out in the middle of America as one of the songs I’ve written. And that is irreplaceable.” 🖤

logged on to facebook for the first time this year and am just so saddened and enraged by how completely lost most of the men in my family are. deranged content. zero empathy. just pure boot licking, smooth brain, compliant slop. i cant believe they helped raise me and now i don’t even know them.

i love being corny as fuck!!!!

i’m saying

yesterday no one said “so siq they are the best band ever” to me and i was wearing my Palm shirt the *entire* day
