Best t-shirt seen so far at this year’s Newport Folk Fest: Guy in a black tee emblazoned with the Punisher logo…in PFlag. Which side are they trying to spleen?

Whoopsies…just flew to O’Hare without my phone in airplane mode. It’s a scam to make us turn that on during a flight. Wake up, sheeple!

Tracking drums-n-bass along with scratch vocals and guitar for Shepards at Wavelengths Pro Audio in Plastic City. BOTLO for a couple new singles in the next couple of months…

Do you think Christopher Walken loathes it when people are singing “Walking in L.A.” by Missing Persons when they meet him anywhere, but most especially in Hollywood?

Things to never say to anyone who a musician (or any artistic creative), especially those who aren’t professional or who are just just beginning their journey & are figuring out that that’s what they want to be: don’t say they need to follow an academic path because music doesn’t pay the bills.

This office has a strict No Jam Band policy and I’m here for it!

My semi-intermittent cooking pro-tip: Caramelizing onions is generally ALWAYS longer than the recipe you’re reading says. It’s *at least* 45 minutes for perfection.

*At least that’s my theory. Like home economics have to be market efficient for the home. I could be wrong about my theory but it kinda jives with having to cook a nice dinner in this modern, contemporary age and it’s all influenced by the 50’s.

My semi-intermittent cooking pro-tip: Caramelizing onions is generally ALWAYS longer than the recipe you’re reading says. It’s *at least* 45 minutes for perfection.

Anyways, I’m making an onion Gruyère tart. Or at least getting the filling made. Tomorrow I’ll bake it. Although I should say I’m a *terrible* baker so I didn’t make the pie shell from scratch. Trust me, I already have the boo, in my head, in my own voice.

My semi-intermittent cooking pro-tip: Caramelizing onions is generally ALWAYS longer than the recipe you’re reading says. It’s *at least* 45 minutes for perfection.

You want to let the onions sit there in a layer for a little while in order for the sugars inside them to break down. If you have the temp to high you’ve got to stir them around too often. Cookbooks/online recipes are written with speed in mind because of convenience in a capitalist system*.

My semi-intermittent cooking pro-tip: Caramelizing onions is generally ALWAYS longer than the recipe you’re reading says. It’s *at least* 45 minutes for perfection.

Seriously, I’ve come across sooo many recipes, online or in a cookbook, where the directions say you can caramelizing the onions in 20-30 min at medium. It never works out and so I used to turn the burner up to medium high to only have them burn.

My semi-intermittent cooking pro-tip: Caramelizing onions is generally ALWAYS longer than the recipe you’re reading says. It’s *at least* 45 minutes for perfection.

My advice is always: Slow-n-low so you can let the onions brown up nicely without burning or needing to stir as often Add ~ 1/4 cup of water (or broth depending on the situation, I prefer veggie) every so often, especially when you notice that the onions are sticking to the bottom of the pan.

And this past Saturday was the debut performance of latest iteration of one my bands with our new singer/guitarist Greg. Played in Fitchburg which is one of the three sizable towns next to the one I grew up in. My nephew came to see us and had some nice things to say about us. Love this kid!

Oh snap! I forgot to update with some great news about the squirrel pip I saved! So the first couple of screenshots are from the day after. The second two are from tonight. I’m so happy the little guy is thriving and is a helper!

It’s not about the Orange Shitgibbon and his lackeys doing everything they can to destroy democracy and refashion America into a christo-fascist/tech broligarchy state. It’s what the GOPOS has wanted to do for decades and I wish everyone would realize that, point that out, and fight them for reals!

…it won’t be the Dems leading this battle. They’re ossified, too top-down, too ties to their wealthy donor class. They will be the stumbling block to progress. It’s going to be us, at the grassroots, who will topple this regime. WE are going to be the ones who save US. Be strong, be safe, be well!

…fashy as the other team. I’ve not given up hope that this fascist bullshit will end. It’s going to take a lot of work, it’s going to take sacrifices, it’s going to take all the tools in the resistance toolkit (non-violent and violent) to overthrow these ghouls. But one thing I know is true…

…been throwing their constituents (working class, middle class, BIPOC, immigrants, LGBTQ+ community) under the bus. I’m tired of pretending that the Dems are somehow fundamentally different from the Republicans, exhausted having to explain to people why I don’t trust them and why they’re just as…

I’ve been watching the Dems be more and more neo-liberal to fashy since I was five. They aren’t the party I thought I grew up admiring and voting for in my first big election in ‘93. I copped onto their grift not long after that. I realized under Clinton just how much and for how long the Dems had…

I mean, I don’t know anything. All of this is coming from a 50-year old Indigenous/1st Gen American who dropped out of college three times, has worked some variation of customer service job for 40 years with some dips into agriculture, manufacturing, municipal, and healthcare professions.

…mayoral primaries. And then for hard leftists, is there going to be a viable socialist/communist party that finally gets some traction in local, state, and federal government than they had barely in the early 20th century here in the States?

And any center left-leaning liberals will then form a new Democratic Party, one that would, at least at the start, wouldn’t be as beholden to corporate/banking donors. It’ll be interesting to see if membership in the DSA starts picking up since NYC and Minneapolis’s results from their democratic…

…and maybe some independents but they’ll be more than happy to continue building on and enjoying the fruits of the post-90’s/post-9/11 GOP legislation and governance.

Meanwhile, the Democrats, who’ve been twisting themselves into pretzels in repeated attempts to prove that they’re Reagan-era Republicans will finally become the hard right-wing party they’ve been always wanting to be but we’re always so queasy to admit. They might pick up disaffected GOP voters…

And I’ve been saying this since 9/11 and the beginnings of the War on Terror, the Patriot Act, the shebang: in thirty years the Republican Party will no longer be viewed as a legitimate political force, they will be a joke, they will be the new nazi party, and no one will ever take them seriously.

…team keeps winning, that their culture is dominate, that they’re always aggrieved/under attack but always strong, powerful, and chosen by God. We can say that they’ve been lied to but that takes away their responsibility, their culpability, their own lack of empathy and introspection.

…effectively a nazi party. I’m of the opinion that it’s AGOPAPOS, top down, bottom up. You can have whatever relationship you want with your Repug/MAGAt family, friends, coworkers, strangers but you have to remember at the end of the day these people do not care about you, they care that their…

I don’t think it’s wrong for any of us on the Left, including liberals/Blue MAGA’s who are fed up with status quo politicians, to be virulently against everything the Repuglicans are and what they represent. Don’t play nice with them, they haven’t kicked out the nazis out of their party so they…

Yesterday I hopefully saved a little friend I met while I was on my walk with our pups. I had left the little guy alone for a momma to retrieve him to no avail. Took him in, kept him safe in a box, and brought him to a rehabber in Arlington last night. Hope to have an update soon!

He’s about 6” long and weighs about 106 grams. Teeny fella. I initially thought he was dead, sl glad when I gingerly prodded him that he was alive. He has a fighting spirit.

Hiked as far as I could on a late afternoon Crane Beach pass to both be as far away as possible from the crowds & also have time to lay out on a towel & take a couple quick, invigorating cold dips. It was an almost perfect day (Stacy would have made it so). Much needed break from news/web/soc media.
