HopeNote/Thurs Ed./Pt. 2: community. education. knowledge. DYK there are folk who want things to get better for everyone & offer free via YouTube many excellent lessons? "Knowledge weighs nothing. Carry all you can" as they say. So share far & wide, then support what you love while you can. :ps:

Here's a 'Hope Note', because oh how absurdist our timeline has become. Music matters. Community matters. KEXP keeps hope alive. I know I am not alone - and a 14 day streaming archive offers everyone a chance to feel hope in community. :ps:

on a Tue - 7th best day of the week (ask @djjohnrichards.bsky.social) a dad gets something "punk, female, and loud" for his girl; Vile's "Apathy" spun w/love. Cause music matters, music heals, & just might save us all. at ECAs Field Day Smash Mouth's "All Star" spun a few times. ergo Hope lives :ps:

"Hope persists beyond hate" damn well said good soul Mychal. Thanks. Between this & g.s. @djjohnrichards.bsky.social spinning "I Will Be Your Shield" by g.s. @billybragg.bsky.social this morn - yeah. bit of a recharge. That & kiddo leaning into loving/using Rocky's voice: 'no no no bad bad' 👎:ps:

Hope. Was it hearing good soul @djjohnrichards.bsky.social for the first time in a few weeks? Or sharing good soul @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social latest good news? Por qué no los dos? Community = support, love, goodness. Find it at #KEXP, and also this video - youtu.be/IppQH8Bd3r8?... :ps:

Hope lives. Hope fights. DJ plays protest songs & rallies to the good fight. Hope sounds like Billy, Peter, Bruce, Tracy singing truth - you should get mad. 14 day archive - go listen. Support what u love - $$ promised then stolen away. Donate if u can. :ps: @djjohnrichards.bsky.social #kexp

Mon hope - good souls John R & Morgan take a grind & turn it into magic. Public radio fund raising (tote bags 4 life!) into refocusing on what I love & want in Rumbly's future. He meets folks & says "hi friends" Music Matters. Everywhere. You Have Friends. :ps: #kexp @djjohnrichards.bsky.social

Today's moment of Hope, shared from my Blood to you: After Turning Off the News open.substack.com/pub/juliebar...

Hope is Teach saying "y'all did GREAT! To celebrate you can bring a stuffie to class!' so Rumbly brings 1 year old Birbsie to visit class, showing off the love of science that kurzgesagt inspires! So good kids learning good stuff & SCIENCE - gives me hope. :ps: @kurzgesagt #kurzgesagt

Hope = nerdfighteria I mean, just a bunch of good souls goofing about, ya know - making the world better. see "foundation to reduce world suck" see "don't forget to be awesome" see "knowledge weighs nothing - carry as much as you can" Hope. :ps:

Hope= Monks walk by ~ Amiga stood @ intersection; bike cop rode by, says: "There is no point in feeling this and not sharing it. This is important. Thousands of people are in Alexandria to see them, and that means something." All around us is hope. love. joy. May you find some, then share :ps:

This is why I tune in. Why I share to as many as I can. Hell, I *preach* the goodness of a community that believes AND acts with kindness, love, understanding and hope. If #KEXP doesn't work for you, know that I truly wish you also find a community that lifts you up in these absurdist times. :ps:

Do you personally know someone who works for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)? U.S. Customs and Border Protection (BCP)? U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)? You know, it's always a great day to punch a Nazi in the face. :ps:

It's always a good thing to visit the heart and soul of a kind and giving community. KEXP, Seattle, WA USA Nov '25 :ps: #kexp

... yeah. Hope still lives. Brisk & chilly here in the p.en; Sufjan Stevens spins on The Morning Show's feed (14 day archive at kexp.org); 1,000s of snapshots from an excellent visit to the PNW to sort & share Woke up today, so we keep fighting for my kiddo's future. You are not alone. :ps:

EFF is always so proud to represent security researchers doing important work. Our Coders' Rights Project often works with DEFCON presenters, and two of our clients are presenting today about schools, bathroom vape detectors, and audio recordings. www.wired.com/story/schoo...

Watching rey & nyx' DefCon talk re: IoT surveillance hell is Stephen, but have me h hope that Rumbly's future will probably be fine to awesome. Let's hope/help them keep on doing what they do! (EFF donations ftw!) face it nyx, you'll collab w/ @deviantollam.bsky.social someday soon! :ps:

... how many tracks did YOUR morning DJ take to get from AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' to 'Movin' Right Along' from Kermit & Fozzie? Oh, your DJ didn't do that? They DON'T do that? Huh. KEXP - 14-day streaming archive. Support what you love. Music matters. :ps: @djjohnrichards.bsky.social did it in 6.
