So another album, huh? You did warn us you'd been keeping busy... 😎 (Great article, a real pleasure to read, album news aside!)

Aw, thank you! Def recommend the trip, I hit the rock hall of fame and the art museum (which is free!) too and I'm wiped out today but looking forward to next time. The current band iteration is absolutely killing it out there and I'm super excited for the shows they schedule after the new album.

Selfie of Jay, pre-show, lit in blue from the stage. They're wearing a white heavy duty respirator mask, dark framed round glasses, a denim battle vest with patches and pins on the shoulders, and have short hair. Their expression is wide eyed and exaggerated, eyebrows raised high. The crowd at the Agora is sparse behind them.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social belated but have to thank you for Cleveland. Was lucky enough to be at the barrier dancing and getting lost in the music as y'all took us on a journey. Every time I see tMG it's somehow both brand new and like coming home. Much love.

Not the person you asked but I was able to schedule at a local minute clinic but only for a few days in advance (more than four or five days out returned no availability)

When I was a kid in the 80s, my sister let me play w/ this creative plastic grid type creative picture builder set. There was no box, so I have no idea what it was. There were a variety of little plastic shapes, approx a cm in size to plug into the grid.

Do you ever think about how we think with cells that looks like some of the most beautiful patterns in nature? And when you think about what, what are you thinking with? It's a river delta, it's a tree branch its pond ice its my mind...

Librarians: I want to design a postcard that supports public libraries like I did for USPS. In the comments, for possible use on the back, please share very short statements about why libraries are important and what people can do to protect them. Thank you! I'll use what I can.

Food for thought: When you key a Tesla, it's not Elon that has to repair the damage. It's hard working American auto body repair people. Which is to say, you're helping create valuable American jobs by keying Teslas.

The truth is America only exists BECAUSE of diversity. America only exists because immigrants built it. Often against their will.

Erase the history of Black people in America, and what is left isn't America. Erase the history of the undocumented immigrant in America, and what is left is not America

Fascists benefit from an uninformed, unwell & divided population.

That's why community care is so important. Give to your local mask bloc, food bank, community fridge or free library.

Wear a mask, and if you can afford it, leave N95s IN the free libraries! People will happily take them!
