Sanity-conserving PSA: "Voting early can also dissuade campaigns from contacting you as they update their voter registration data to see who has yet to vote," says my local paper.

Completely not a surprise, but it's useful to lay out how damaging ICE's BS is to everyone in our community, including the idjits who voted for Tr*mpf and now complain they can't find workers.

Big fun at Graton Day: Zucchini Races; Watermelon-eating contest; Chicken 💩 Bingo (I won!). #gratonday

My congressperson, calling out christian nationalists. So glad somebody's brave enough to do it.

At the Apple Store to buy a replacement AirPod charger. I have been informed that I am to wait in the store for 45-60 minutes until I can talk to someone at the Genius Bar who will then sell it to me (if I’m lucky?). So smug, so condescending, so arrogant. I used to like Apple.

Willie Nelson's love song to the US. The man can write (and sing, and play).

It's a good day to remember the immortal words of Patti and Fred Smith: the people have the power to redeem the work of fools upon the meek the graces shower it's decreed the people rule

Again. Bigger. Santa Rosa, CA keeps showing up. #NoKings

Search your camera roll for "hell."

The kids are alright.

When @timoreilly.bsky.social has a probing conversation with Claude, it's quintessentially Tim--philosophical, singular, deeply human (though that AI-generated photo is creepily Uncanny Valley).

This conversation with @bencollins.bsky.social about how to fight authoritarianism with fearless humor was a reminder that there is joy in the fight. And Ben claims he only cursed 21 times during our 20 minute chat. lol.

Only Sunday of the year when it's safe to go to Costco in the afternoon.

Human peace sign at yesterday's #NoWarnNoICE protest in Santa Rosa. I'm in there somewhere, holding my American flag. #IndivisibleSoCo

A box, some felt—life is sooo good. #caturday

The only holiday song I've ever recorded (or ever will 😜). Cracks me up every December--I think we really captured the spirit of season.🎅

Good one. Listen up, people!

Left Behind and loving it.

What Dan says.

Before-and-afters on Barnaby's first Gotcha Day. He's all growed up (almost). #GotchaDay #cats

No BBQ this year. #WorkersOverBillionaires rally in Santa Rosa.

No BBQ this year. #WorkersOverBillionairs rally in Santa Rosa.

¡Ay, Flaco! What a treasure, what a loss. Gracias por toda la música.

This #caturday, I hope you encounter something as fascinating as these feathers.

Every year at this time I wonder why there is no zucchini emoji.

Time to hit the streets again. On July 17, join your local "Good Trouble Lives On" event on the anniversary of the great John Lewis's passing. Show up and speak up! goodtroubleliveson.org

This is me, not paying attention to the temper tantrums of toddlers in high places--and urging you to do the same. They want attention most of all. Don't give it to 'em.

Fight back! And this phenomenon has been happening in the music biz since the dawn of digital recordings. So please care about real music made by real humans, too.

More interesting than all that other news: Chickengate hits Petaluma, CA. Oh, how far we've come from the days of radical lefty Russian Jewish chicken farmers. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9780801...

Yet again, the people show up in Santa Rosa. #indivisible #mayday

@quinn.social.circl.lu.ap.brid.gy nails it, as usual (plus ordinary humans can understand her piece). If you've wondered what Signal actually does, and why there's all that fuss about Pete Hegseth using it for highly sensitive, official government business, this is for you.

I urge everyone to stop referring to Trump's "executive orders." Most of these are not legitimate and have no real legal effect. Instead of dignifying/normalizing them, let's call them what they are: dictator's decrees or imperial edicts, take your pick.

The people show up again, in Santa Rosa. Not gonna stop.

Sonoma County turned out for democracy. We want our country back.

Saw "The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane" last night, and I am very glad I did. What a great singer, total badass, and inspiration she was. Streamed via the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival, so you, too, can see it until April 9. Do it!

Oh look, not every company is running and hiding. "We want our whole community...to recognize, include, and encourage people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, sexual orientations, and professional roles."

Want to feel more hopeful? Read Dan's piece.

A song from another dark time, the Troubles in Northern Ireland. If you need some solace and inspiration, give it a listen. #freedom #resistance #folkmusic

James Taylor says it perfectly.

For your #caturday pleasure.

One of those times that a picture is worth >1000 words...

This right here is the stuff. #bluegrass
